MMP14-targeted PET imaging probe for solid tumors
Official title: MMP14(MT1-MMP) Targeting Bicyclic Peptide Probe for PET Imaging in Solid Tumors
Run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute · NCT06719856 · Data updated 2026-11-12
Doctors are testing a 68Ga-labeled bicyclic peptide that can help visualize MMP14 expression in solid tumors using PET scans to see who might benefit from MMP14-targeted treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–75 with measurable solid tumors and good performance status (ECOG 0–1), who require PET/CT for staging and can provide tumor tissue samples.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without detectable MMP14 expression or without uptake of the radiotracer may not benefit from MMP14-targeted strategies.

What this trial studies
This observational study uses a radioactive peptide radiotracer to image MMP14 (MT1-MMP) in patients with solid tumors. The plan includes a phased enrollment to assess pharmacokinetics, organ distribution, tumor uptake, and safety, followed by a broader evaluation of tumor targeting. Participants will undergo whole-body PET/CT imaging, with emphasis on documenting tracer behavior and potential correlation to treatment response. The study aims to identify patients who may benefit from therapies targeting MMP14.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could help select patients for MMP14-targeted therapies and improve tumor imaging for treatment planning.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work with PET tracers targeting MMPs has shown feasibility, but this exact MMP14-targeted radiotracer is investigational and early in development.
