68Ga Claudin-18.2 PET/CT for pancreatic cancer

Official title: A Clinical Study on the Use of ⁶⁸Ga-labelled Claudin 18.2 as a Contrast Agent in Combination With PET/CT for the Imaging of Pancreatic Cancer

Run by SmartNuclide Biopharma · NCT07597772 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This early, first-in-human test uses a radioactive Claudin-18.2 tracer with PET/CT to see if it can image pancreatic tumors that express Claudin-18.2.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with confirmed pancreatic cancer whose tumors are suitable for Claudin-18.2 testing and who can provide informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors do not express Claudin-18.2 or who do not meet other eligibility criteria may not receive benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional, early-phase study investigates a 68Ga-labeled Claudin-18.2 tracer (SNA006) combined with PET/CT to visualize pancreatic cancer. Eligible participants are adults with confirmed pancreatic cancer whose tumors may express Claudin-18.2. The trial requires recent imaging and pathology results, and excludes those with other cancers, severe conditions, or pregnancy. The study is led by SmartNuclide Biopharma with Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital as a collaborator, and is located in Tianjin, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the tracer could improve tumor visualization and help guide treatment decisions.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in targeted imaging tracers for Claudin-18.2 have shown promise in imaging efficacy, but this exact SNA014/SNA006 approach is exploratory in this setting.
