Evaluating a new PET/CT scan for orbital tumors
Official title: Evaluating the Potential Usefulness of 18F-AlF-FAPI PET/ CT in Patients With Orbital Neoplasms and Compared With 18F-FDG PET/ CT
Run by Peking University Third Hospital · NCT06791226 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new type of PET/CT scan to see if it does a better job at finding orbital tumors compared to the standard scan for people who might have these tumors.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with suspected or newly diagnosed orbital neoplasms who are scheduled for both types of PET/CT scans.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unable to provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of 18F-AlF-FAPI PET/CT in diagnosing primary and metastatic orbital neoplasms compared to the standard 18F-FDG PET/CT. Participants with suspected or newly diagnosed orbital tumors will undergo both imaging techniques to evaluate their diagnostic accuracy. The study will quantify tumor uptake and record the number of metastatic lesions identified by each method, calculating sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for comparison.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the diagnostic accuracy for patients with orbital neoplasms, leading to better treatment decisions.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of PET/CT imaging is established, the specific application of 18F-AlF-FAPI in this context is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
