Evaluation of a New Radiotracer (64Cu-DOTA-AE105) for Diagnosing Aggressive Cancer With Positron Emission Tomography

December 11, 2014 updated by: Dorthe Skovgaard, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

64Cu-DOTA-AE105. Evaluation of a New Radiotracer Targeting uPAR (Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor) for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of the Invasive Cancer Phenotype. First in Man.

The primary objective of the study is to test a new radiotracer called 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 for PET imaging of uPAR (urokinase plasminogen activator receptor). The tracer has the potential of identifying the invasive cancer phenotype, thereby distinguishing between aggressive and less aggressive tumors. This is a first in human study to test the radiotracer in cancer patients. The biodistribution and tumor uptake will be evaluated by repeated PET imaging (1,3 and 24 hours post injection).

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the study is to test a new radiotracer called 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 for PET imaging of uPAR (urokinase plasminogen activator receptor). The tracer has the potential of identifying the invasive cancer phenotype, thereby distinguishing between aggressive and less aggressive tumors. This is a first in human study to test the radiotracer in cancer patients. The biodistribution and tumor uptake will be evaluated by repeated PET imaging (1,3 and 24 hours post injection). The primary end points are Biodistribution and dosimetry of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. In addition, the quantitative uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 in tumors and expression of uPAR in tumor tissue obtained by surgery or biopsies (either 14 days before (only biopsies) or after the PET scans) will be compared to validate the image-derived data on UPAR expression

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biodistribution
Time Frame: 24 hours
The patients will be PET scanned 1, 3 and 24 hours post injection of the radiotracer 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. These different timepoints will be used for assessment of biodistribution
24 hours
Dosimetry
Time Frame: 24 hours
The patients will be PET scanned 1, 3 and 24 hours post injection of the radiotracer 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. These different timepoints will be used for calculation of dosimetry
24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Expression of UPAR in tumor tissue
Time Frame: 24 hours
Tumor uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 will be compared with expression of uPAR (using immunohistochemistry and ELISA) in tumor tissue obtained from biopsies/or operative removal of the tumors.
24 hours
Quantitative uptake of UPAR in tumor tissue
Time Frame: 24 hours
The patients will be PET scanned 1, 3 and 24 hours post injection of the radiotracer 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. These different timepoints will be used for assessment of tumor uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 will be assessed by PET scans 1, 3 and 24 hours post injection
