^68Ga-grazytracer PET for In Vivo Visualization of Immune Cell Effector Functions

7 listopada 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Peking University Third Hospital

In Vivo Visualization of Immune Cell Effector Functions Using ^68Ga-grazytracer PET: An Exploratory Study of Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases

This is a prospective, single-center, exploratory clinical study designed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical utility of ^68Ga-grazytracer positron emission tomography (PET) for noninvasive in vivo visualization of immune cell effector function in patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases. ^68Ga-grazytracer is a granzyme B (GZMB)-targeted PET radiotracer developed to visualize cytotoxic immune activation.

Approximately 60-80 adult participants will be enrolled in two study cohorts: (1) patients with malignant tumors who are scheduled to receive systemic anticancer therapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, or combination therapy; and (2) patients with autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, and immune myocarditis, who are receiving or planning to receive immunomodulatory treatment.

Participants will undergo ^68Ga-grazytracer PET/CT imaging before treatment initiation and again during the predefined treatment period. Imaging findings, including tracer uptake and semiquantitative parameters (e.g., SUVmax and target-to-background ratio), will be analyzed together with clinical outcomes, laboratory findings, disease activity assessments, and follow-up data.

The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ^68Ga-grazytracer PET imaging and to investigate the association between GZMB-targeted PET imaging and treatment response in patients with cancer, disease activity and organ involvement in autoimmune diseases, and therapeutic response to immunomodulatory treatment. This study aims to provide preliminary evidence supporting the use of ^68Ga-grazytracer PET as a molecular imaging biomarker for noninvasive assessment of immune effector function in cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Szczegółowy opis

Background Granzyme B (GZMB) is a key effector molecule released by activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells during immune responses. GZMB-mediated cytotoxic activity plays an important role in antitumor immunity and is also involved in tissue injury, immune remodeling, and therapeutic responses in autoimmune diseases. Therefore, noninvasive visualization of GZMB activity may provide a direct assessment of immune effector function in vivo.

^68Ga-grazytracer is a GZMB-targeted PET radiotracer developed for molecular imaging of immune effector activity. Previous preclinical and early clinical studies have demonstrated the feasibility of this tracer for monitoring immune responses and predicting treatment outcomes in patients receiving immunotherapy. However, its clinical value across different disease settings has not been systematically evaluated.

Objectives This study aims to investigate the clinical utility of ^68Ga-grazytracer PET for evaluating immune cell effector function in patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases. The specific objectives are:To evaluate the association between ^68Ga-grazytracer PET findings and treatment response in patients receiving cancer immunotherapy.To investigate the relationship between tracer uptake and disease activity, organ involvement, and therapeutic response in patients with autoimmune diseases.To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and imaging feasibility of ^68Ga-grazytracer PET.

Study Design This is a prospective, single-center, exploratory clinical study conducted at Peking University Third Hospital. Approximately 60-80 adult participants will be enrolled in two cohorts:a cancer cohort including patients with malignant tumors receiving systemic anticancer therapy; and an autoimmune disease cohort including patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, or immune myocarditis receiving immunomodulatory therapy.

Participants will undergo ^68Ga-grazytracer PET/CT imaging before treatment initiation and again during the predefined treatment period. PET imaging findings will be analyzed together with clinical outcomes, laboratory biomarkers, disease activity assessments, and follow-up data to evaluate the relationship between GZMB-targeted imaging and immune responses.

Outcome Assessment Imaging analyses will include visual assessment and semiquantitative parameters such as maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and target-to-background ratio (TBR). The study will evaluate the relationship between PET imaging findings and treatment response, disease activity, organ involvement, and clinical outcomes. Safety assessments will include monitoring of tracer-related adverse events and overall tolerability.

Significance This study is expected to provide preliminary evidence supporting the use of ^68Ga-grazytracer PET as a noninvasive molecular imaging biomarker for immune cell effector function. The results may facilitate treatment response assessment in cancer immunotherapy and improve evaluation of disease activity and immune modulation in autoimmune diseases, thereby providing a foundation for future multicenter validation studies.
