Brief summary

The primary objective of the study is to test a new radiotracer called 68Ga-NOTA-AE105 for PET imaging of uPAR (urokinase plasminogen activator receptor). The tracer has the potential of identifying the invasive cancer phenotype, thereby distinguishing between aggressive and less aggressive tumors. This is a first in human study to test the radiotracer in cancer patients. The biodistribution and tumor uptake will be evaluated by repeated PET imaging (10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours post injection).

Detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to test a new radiotracer called 68Ga-NOTA-AE105 for PET imaging of uPAR (urokinase plasminogen activator receptor). The tracer has the potential of identifying the invasive cancer phenotype, thereby distinguishing between aggressive and less aggressive tumors. This is a first in human study to test the radiotracer in cancer patients. The biodistribution and tumor uptake will be evaluated by repeated PET scans (10 minutes, 1 and 2 hours post injection). The primary end points are safety, biodistribution and dosimetry of 68Ga-NOTA-AE105. In addition, the quantitative uptake of 68Ga-NOTA-AE105 will be compared to the expression of uPAR measured directly in tumor tissue obtained by surgery or biopsies. The project will be monitored and evaluated in accordance with the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Biodistribution2 hoursThe patients will be PET scanned 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours post injection of the radiotracer 68Ga-NOTA-AE105. These timepoints will be used for assessment of biodistribution
Dosimetry2 hoursThe patients will be PET scanned 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours post injection of the radiotracer 68Ga-NOTA-AE105. These timepoints will be used for calculation of dosimetry with the use of OLINDA/EXM software (mSv)
Safety2 hoursthe patients will be monitored for safety (occurence of adverse events, vital signs, blood test parameters) following injection of the radiotracer 68Ga-NOTA-AE105

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quantitative uptake of the radiotracer in tumor tissue2 hoursThe patients will be PET scanned 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours post injection of the radiotracer 68Ga-NOTA-AE105. These timepoints will be used for assessment of tumor uptake
