Integrin α6-targeted SPECT Imaging of Breast Cancer

March 4, 2020 updated by: Fan Wang, Peking University

First-in-human Pilot Study of an Integrin α6-targeted Radiotracer for SPECT Imaging of Breast Cancer

A novel radiotracer 99mTc-RWY targeting Integrin α6 was developed, and the pilot first-in-human study for SPECT imaging of breast cancer was performed in seven healthy volunteers and two breast cancer patients to assess the safety and potential clinical applications of 99mTc-RWY.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Integrin α6 associates with the survival and migration of breast cancer cells, which emerges as a predictor of reduced overall survival and worse prognosis. In this study, we developed an integrin α6-targeted radiotracer 99mTc-RWY for SPECT imaging of breast cancer. The safety, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry were studied in seven healthy volunteers, and the clinical potential of 99mTc-RWY was examined in two breast cancer patients. A single dose of 11.1 MBq/kg 99mTc-RWY was injected intravenously. Visual and semiquantitative methods were used to assess the SPECT/CT images. The routine Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining were subsequently carried out to confirm the Integrin α6 expression of tumors.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

25 years to 60 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • Healthy volunteers.
  • Body mass index (BMI) at 19 to 25 [Body mass index = body weight (kg)/ height squared (m2)];
  • Clinical laboratory tests (heart, liver, kidney, blood) indicators are in the normal range or abnormalities without clinical significance;
  • Informed written consents were obtained from all 9 subjects before the procedure.
  • Patients in suspicion of breast cancer by mammography or ultrasonography, and being able to provide basic information.

Exclution Criteria:

• The investigator judged that it is not suitable for clinical trials based on the overall situation of the volunteers and patients.

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Drug: 99mTc-RWY
99mTc-RWY were injected into volunteers and patients before the SPECT/CT scans .

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
Blood Clearance
Time Frame: 1,3,5,10,15,30,60,120 minutes post-injection
The %ID (the radioactivity of the blood at each time period/the total injection activity) is calculated.
1,3,5,10,15,30,60,120 minutes post-injection
Excretion
Time Frame: 0-24 hours post-injection
The %ID (the radioactivity of the urine at each time period/the total injection activity) is calculated.
0-24 hours post-injection
Biodistribution
Time Frame: 0.5,1,2,4,24 hours post-injection

0.5,1,2,4,24 hours post-injection

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.
