Trop-2 Targeted PET/CT for Recurrent and Metastatic Thyroid Cancer
Official title: Trophoblast Cell-Surface Antigen 2 (Trop-2) Targeted PET/CT in Recurrent and Metastatic Thyroid Cancer and Compared With 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT
Run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University · NCT07753499 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether a Trop-2 targeted PET/CT scan can better detect recurrent or metastatic thyroid cancer in adults than another PET/CT scan (FAPI).

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with a history of treated thyroid cancer and suspected recurrent or metastatic disease who are scheduled to receive both Trop-2 and FAPI PET/CT scans.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with disease not detectable by Trop-2 PET/CT or whose disease biology does not favor imaging changes may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study compares 68Ga-MY6349 PET/CT imaging against 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in adults with previously treated thyroid cancer and suspected recurrent or metastatic disease. Primary goal is to measure patient-based sensitivity for detecting recurrent/metastatic thyroid cancer, with secondary goals including specificity, lesion-level performance, comparative uptake, and impact on clinical management. Participants undergo both imaging modalities to allow direct comparison. The study builds on prior work suggesting Trop-2–targeted imaging may improve lesion detection in thyroid cancer. Key eligibility includes adult patients with various thyroid cancer histologies, evidence of disease, and no recent anticancer therapy within four weeks of imaging. Conducted at The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University in Xiamen, China, under sponsor oversight.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, Trop-2 PET/CT could improve detection of recurrent/metastatic thyroid cancer and influence treatment decisions.
How similar studies have gone: Previous imaging work suggests Trop-2 and FAPI approaches can show strong lesion detection in thyroid cancer, though head-to-head results with Trop-2 vs FAPI are being evaluated here.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (aged 18 years or older); * Patients with a history of previously treated thyroid cancer, including DTC and HGFCTC following thyroidectomy with or without 131I therapy, MTC after thyroidectomy, or ATC; either (1) evidence of structural or suspicious lesions on standard of care imaging or (2) biochemical evidence of disease in the absence of structural findings, defined as elevated thyrotropin suppressed thyroglobulin (Tgon ≥1 ng/mL after 131I ablation or ≥5 ng/mL without ablation) with negative anti thyroglobulin antibodies (\<20 IU/mL) for DTC and HGFCTC or elevated calcitonin (\>10 pg/mL) for MTC; * Patients who had scheduled both 68Ga-MY6349 and 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT scans; * Patients who were able to provide informed consent (signed by participant, parent or legal representative) and assent according to the guidelines of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee. * No other anticancer therapy within four weeks prior to PET imaging. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or lactating patients; * Patients with a second primary tumor; * The inability or unwillingness of the research participant, parent, or legal representative to provide written informed consent.
