Brief summary

This trial aims to evaluate the feasibility of using 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT in the detection of localized and metastatic urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this trial if you are aged 18, able to provide informed consent, and histologically diagnosed with bladder cancer or urothelial carcinoma or known metastatic urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer. Study details Participants will be screened through FDG PET/CT scan and baseline procedures (physical examination, general blood test, vital signs, medical and surgical history, and previous medications), within 28 days of selection to day 0). At day 0, participants will receive an injection of 89Zr-TLX250, followed by a diagnostic PET/CT scan on day 5 ± 2 days after 89Zr-TLX250 administration. Participants will be followed up at day 14 post-scan for a telephone consult regarding safety evaluation. It is hoped that information from this trial will help evaluate the effectiveness of 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT in detecting primary bladder cancer and upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

Interventions

Patients with histopathologically diagnosed bladder cancer or urothelial carcinoma already being staged with Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT or those with known FDG positive metastatic disease, who are willing to undergo an additional 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT for the staging and detection of urothelial carcinoma and bladder cancer. 89Zr-TLX250, a chimeric monoclonal antibody (INN name: girentuximab (GTX), synonyms: cG250, TLX250) with specificity for the CAIX (carbonic anhydrase 9) antigen, radiolabe

Patients will be followed up at day 14 of post diagnostic 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT scan. The 89Zr-TLX250 IV administration will be administered by a trained nuclear medicine physician or a nuclear medicine technician (guided by a nuclear medicine physician). The whole body 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT will be acquired over a maximum of 45 minutes in 4 bed positions at a single time point on Day 5 ± 2 post administration of 89Zr-TLX250 using static image acquisition and low dose CT without contrast agent.
