Background/Objectives: Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is highly expressed in tumor stroma and selected inflammatory conditions, offering a promising target for molecular imaging. [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 is a DOTA-based FAP inhibitor with excellent tumor-to-background ratio and potential advantages over [18F]FDG in low-glycolytic tumors. This article aims to highlight the quality elements that are relevant to clinical practice and to describe the development of an investigational medicinal product dossier for a bicentric clinical trial involving [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46. Methods: The radiolabeling was performed by the two facilities using different automated synthesizers, but with the same specifications and acceptance criteria Results: Three validation batches per site were analyzed for radiochemical/radionuclidic purity, pH, endotoxin, sterility, and bioburden according to European Pharmacopoeia standards. Stability was as sessed up to 2 h post-synthesis. All batches met predefined acceptance criteria. Conclusions: Despite differences in radiosynthesizer modules, product quality and process reproducibility were maintained across both centers. [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 can be reliably produced in academic settings under GMP-like conditions, enabling multicenter clinical research and facilitating IMPD submissions for broader adoption of FAP-targeted PET imaging.

[68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 is a DOTA-based FAP inhibitor with excellent tumor-to-background ratio and potential advantages over [18F]FDG in low-glycolytic tumors. Background/Objectives: This article aimed to highlight the quality aspects, which could have an impact on clinical practice, describing the development of an Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (IMPD) for a bicentric clinical trial with [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46.
