68Ga-SorB PET/CT Imaging in Patients With Solid Tumors

This prospective, single-center, open-label exploratory diagnostic study aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and diagnostic performance of the novel Sortilin-targeted PET tracer 68Ga-SorB in patients with solid tumors. Eligible participants with confirmed or suspected melanoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, or ovarian cancer will undergo 68Ga-SorB PET/CT imaging. The imaging findings will be compared with standard-of-care 18F-FDG PET/CT, using pathology results and/or clinical follow-up as the reference standard. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 68Ga-SorB, assess imaging feasibility, and characterize tumor uptake using quantitative PET parameters, including SUVmax and tumor-to-background ratio (TBR). Secondary exploratory objectives include comparing lesion detection between 68Ga-SorB PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT, assessing diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, evaluating imaging characteristics across different tumor types, and exploring the correlation between Sortilin expression and tracer uptake. This study will provide preliminary clinical evidence supporting the development of Sortilin-targeted molecular imaging and future theranostic applications.
