A WORD FROM OUR CHIEF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER

Dear FAPI community,

It was a busy and exciting summer.

In June, SOFIE hosted the 2nd FAP Symposium at the annual SNMMI meeting in Chicago, IL. Representatives from academia and industry spoke to a filled room about the latest developments in FAP diagnostics and therapeutics. Steadily growing interest in FAP was reflected in the enthusiastic turnout. A month later, I presented on FAP at the Targeted Radiopharmaceuticals (TRP) Summit in Boston, MA. It was great seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones at both events. Our team will be attending the EANM meeting in Vienna, Austria, this September and look forward to connecting with many of you again, or maybe for the first time! If you would like to set up a meeting at EANM, please send an email to FAPIProgram@sofie.com .

We are making excellent progress in the recruitment of patients as part of SOFIE’s Phase 2 prospective clinical trials with [68Ga]FAPI-46 and [18F]FAPI-74. Additional information provided in “FAPI Clinical Development Updates” below.

Our FAPI Global Outreach Program continues to show incredible growth and we have launched our Annual Progress Report to members of the program. This tool enables us to learn about progress on all the academic projects worldwide, and a comprehensive view of the program as a whole. More info below!

As always, thank you for reading our newsletter. We sincerely appreciate your input on how this can be a better resource for the FAPI community.
