5T4 Targeting Nanobody Probe for PET Imaging in Solid Tumors

May 8, 2026 updated by: Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute

Preparation of 5T4 Tumor Novel Target Nanobody PET Probe and Clinical Translation in Lung Cancer

This study aims to evaluate a novel 5T4 targeted nanobody PET imaging tracer, 68Ga-MY, for the detection and evaluation of solid tumors.

The 5T4 oncofoetal antigen is considered a valuable tumor-associated antigen, which is expressed in many different cancers, but is rarely expressed in normal adult tissues. And cell surface expression of 5T4 is an important property for antibody-targeted therapies. It has been shown that 5T4 is expressed on tumour-initiating cells (TICs) and associated with worse clinical outcome. Moreover, decreased adherence due to 5T4 expression may be associated with cancer spread.

In this single-center, open-label, self-controlled study, approximately 20 patients with suspected or confirmed solid tumors will undergo PET/CT imaging using 68Ga-MY. The imaging results will be compared with 18F-FDG. The study will assess tracer uptake in tumor lesions and compare diagnostic performance between imaging methods. The results may help determine whether 68Ga-MY PET/CT can improve tumor detection, staging, and clinical evaluation in patients with solid tumors.

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

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Experimental: 68Ga-MY PET Imaging
All study participants will be allocated to this arm (single-arm study).Study participants will undergo 68Ga-MY PET/CT scans.After the participant rests quietly for 40 minutes or 1 hour, whole-body imaging of the head and torso will be performed using a United Imaging uEXPLORER Whole-Body PET/CT scanner at 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h post-injection. The scan range will cover from the vertex to the upper third of the thighs. Participants who required a dynamic scan underwent a 40-min serial scan after injection of 68Ga-MY. PET/CT static imaging was performed at 2 h and 3 h after injection.
Drug: 18F-FDG
All study participants will undergo one 18F-FDG PET/CT scan.
Drug: 68Ga-MY
68Ga-MY is an investigational tracer, and all participants will undergo 68Ga-MY scanning.

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.
