Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Treatment with any other investigational agent or participation in another clinical trial with therapeutic intent within 28 days prior to [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 injection. 2. Evidence of an active infection that requires systemic antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 injection. 3. Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2, or that may affect the interpretation of the results or render the patient at high risk from complications. 4. Altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent. 5.

Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: •To evaluate safety of repeat doses of [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2. •To evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) of [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 binding in the tumour in patients prior to and during treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. •To evaluate whole body distribution of [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 in cancer patients. ;Secondary Objective: •To assess changes in tumour and normal organ uptake after 2 weeks of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. •To determine whether changes in visual and semi-quantitative [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 PET measurements correlate with RECIST v1.1. radiology responses. •To correlate tracer uptake with immune cell infiltration in the tumour as assessed by immunohistochemistry. ;Primary end point(s): •Safety evaluation through summaries of adverse events per NCI CTCAE v5.0 criteria, changes in laboratory test results and changes in vital signs after exposure to [18F]-AlF-RESCA-IL2 •To evaluate the PK of 18F-AlF-RESCA-IL2 binding in the tumor by measuring radioactivity levels in blood by venous blood sampling and tracer uptake in the tumour by dynamic PET imaging. The whole blood and metabolite-corrected plasma radioactivity vs. time curves and the time-radioactivity curve of the tumour are used as input functions for compartment modelling of tracer kinetics. Outcome parameters of pharmacokinetic modelling are the non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) or the total volume of distribution (VT) of the tracer in the tumour, assuming the tracer will also display reversible binding in humans. The “gold standard” parameters BPND or VT will be correlated to the standardized uptake values (SUV) of the tracer in the tumour. In this manner, the use of the semi-quantitative parameter SUV, which can be sensitive to confounding factors, can be validated for use in further studies with this tracer. •Evaluation of 18F-AlF-RESCA-IL2 biodistribution in cancer patients on the PET images by measuring standardized uptake values in healthy tissues and organs.;Timepoint(s) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Correlation of 18F-AlF-RESCA-IL2 uptake in tumours, with T cell infiltration in tumour biopsy samples, as determined by IHC. • Correlation of 18F-AlF-RESCA-IL2 PET measurements with radiologic response to treatment, according to (i)RECIST v1.1 criteria. • Assessment of changes in tumour and normal organ tracer uptake after 2 weeks of treatment, expressed as standardized uptake values. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: These endpoints will be evaluated throughout the trial | — |
