Trop2-targeted immunoPET Imaging of Solid Tumors

May 27, 2026 updated by: RenJi Hospital
This study aims to establish and optimize the trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (Trop2)-targeted immuno-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (immunoPET/CT) imaging method and its physiological and pathological distribution characteristics, based on which the diagnostic efficacy of the above imaging agents in solid tumors (including uroepithelial cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, thyroid cancer, head and neck cancer) will be evaluated.

Detailed Description

Histologically confirmed solid tumors (including uroepithelial cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, thyroid cancer, head and neck cancer), or patients with suspected solid tumors (including uroepithelial cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, liver cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, thyroid cancer, head and neck cancer) indicated by conventional diagnostic imaging will be included. Patients will also be included for routine follow-up, surveillance, and treatment efficacy evaluation.For patients with prostate cancer or suspected prostate cancer, head-to-head comparisons with PSMA PET are still needed.

Enrolled patients will undergo whole-body immunoPET/CT scans 1-2 hours after tracer injection (0.05-0.1 mCi/kg). The uptake of imaging tracers in tumors and normal organs/tissues will be scored visually and quantitatively.

Tumor uptake will be quantified by the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy will be calculated to assess the diagnostic efficacy. The correlation between lesion uptake and Trop2 expression level determined by immunohistochemistry staining will be further analyzed. The primary exploration endpoint will be the tracers' imaging feasibility and preliminary diagnostic value compared to conventional imaging approaches like 18F-FDG PET/CT.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SUV of tumors
Time Frame: 1 day from injection of the tracers
The SUV of the above tracers in the primary and/or metastatic lesions of the included subjects. To calculate the SUV, circular regions of interest were drawn around the area of focally increased uptake in the transaxial slices and automatically fitted to a three-dimensional volume of interest.
1 day from injection of the tracers
Radiation dosimetry of tissues/organs
Time Frame: 1 day from injection of the tracers
Measurement of absorbed radiation doses (Gy/MBq) to tissues/organs. The following tissues were included: adrenals, brain, breasts, gallbladder, small intestine, upper and lower large intestine, stomach, heart contents, heart muscle, kidney, liver, lung, muscle, ovaries, pancreas, red marrow, trabecular and cortical bone, spleen, testes, thymus, thyroid, urinary bladder, and uterus. Dynamic imaging within one hour will be performed for this purpose.
