Non-Invasive Detection of claudin18.2 in Pancreatic and Gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer by [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-SNA014 PET Imaging
China64 participantsStarted 2026-04-15
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to use Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) imaging technology to evaluate its detection efficacy and diagnostic threshold for CLDN18.2-positive pancreatic cancer and gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer, analyze the quantitative value of PET parameters in CLDN18.2 expression and their correlation with prognosis, and provide a basis for the precise selection of CLDN18.2-targeted therapy.

Exclusion criteria
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Standardized uptake value(SUV)
Timeframe: Baseline and preoperative assessment at 3 weeks before surgery
2
The expression level of Claudin-18.2
Timeframe: Baseline and intraoperative specimen collection, assessment within 3 weeks postoperatively
. Participants with prior Claudin 18.2 targeted therapy.
. Participants with concurrent other active malignancies.
. Participants with severe medical conditions that render them unsuitable for participation in this clinical study. Such as severe heart and lung failure, severe bone marrow suppression, severe liver and kidney dysfunction, etc.
