Measurement of PD-L1 Expression in Cancer to Monitor Treatment Response.

Measurement of PD-L1 expression in cancer to monitor treatment response.

A prospective non-blinded, single centre, single interventional arm diagnostic imaging study.

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

Using [99mTc]-labeled anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody, this study aims to prospectively measure changes in PD-L1 expression determined with SPECT/CT imaging and correlate these changes with response to anti-PD(L)1 immunotherapy.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  • Aged 18 or above
  • Patients with histologically confirmed NSCLC or melanoma scheduled for PD1/PDL1 immunotherapy alone or in combination with other systemic anti-cancer therapy.
  • Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled study visits and tests.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Concomitant uncontrolled medical conditions
  • Patients likely to require palliative radiotherapy within the first 12 weeks of treatment or radiotherapy to target lesion(s) received within preceding 42 days

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

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. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Advanced malignant disease (non-small cell lung cancer or malignant melanoma)

Group 1: Participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as per inclusion/exclusion criteria undergo baseline PD-L1 expression testing by immunohistochemistry and [99m-Tc]-anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody SPECT/CT imaging at 0 and 9 weeks.

FDG-PET/CT is also performed at baseline (0) and first follow-up (9) weeks scans, in addition to standard CT clinical imaging at 0, 9 and 18 weeks.

Group 2: Participants with malignant melanoma (MM) as per inclusion/exclusion criteria undergo baseline PD-L1 expression testing by immunohistochemistry and [99m-Tc]-anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody SPECT/CT imaging at 0 and 12 weeks.

FDG-PET/CT is also performed as standard clinical imaging at baseline (0), first follow-up (12) weeks and 24 weeks.
Diagnostic test: [99mTc]-NM-01 SPECT/CT
Technetium labelled anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody (NM-01) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT

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
Percentage change in PD-L1 expression (using [99mTc] SPECT) in NSCLC.
Time Frame: Up to 18 weeks

PD-L1 expression reported by measurement of tumour:blood pool ratio and/or SUV of [99mTc]-anti-PD-L1-sdAb uptake on SPECT. Measurement at baseline and 9 weeks will be compared to determine % change.

Standard clinical imaging assessment at 9 and 18 weeks used as comparators.
Up to 18 weeks
Percentage change in PD-L1 expression (using [99mTc] SPECT) in melanoma lesions.
Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks

PD-L1 expression reported by measurement of tumour:blood pool ratio and/or SUV of [99mTc]-anti-PD-L1-sdAb uptake on SPECT. Measurement at baseline and 12 weeks will be compared to determine % change.

Standard clinical imaging assessment at 12 and 24 weeks used as comparators.
Up to 24 weeks

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
Report PD-L1 tumour expression (using [99mTc] SPECT) of immunotherapy naive participants compared to PD-L1 expression determine by standard immunohistochemistry.
Time Frame: Baseline
Correlation between PD-L1 expression reported by measurement of tumour:blood pool ratio and/or SUV of [99mTc]-anti-PD-L1-sdAb uptake on SPECT and PD-L1 expression determined by standard of care immunohistochemistry.
