Clinical Translation of a Novel FAPI Dimer [68Ga]Ga-LNC1013

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) emerges as a highly promising target for cancer diagnostic imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy. To exploit the therapeutic potential of current FAP inhibitors (FAPIs), this study presented the design and synthesis of a series of FAPI dimers to increase tumor uptake and retention. Preclinical evaluation and a pilot clinical PET imaging study were conducted to screen the lead compound with the potential for radionuclide therapy.
