Brief summary

To evaluate the potential usefulness of 68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the evaluation of LAG-3 expression in primary and/or metastatic tumors, compared with histopathological results.

Detailed description

Participants with cancer underwent 68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3 PET/CT for an initial assessment. Tumor uptake was quantified by the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and mean SUV (SUVmean). In addition, the LAG-3 expression of lesions was confirmed by histopathological analyzing. The quantitative parameters of 68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3 PET/CT were compared with histopathological result to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3 PET/CT

Each participant receives a single intravenous injection of 68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3, and undergo PET/CT imaging within the specified time.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The concordance between 68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3 PET/CT and histopathological result in LAG-3 expression30 daysFor 68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3 PET/CT parameter, the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) is measured by defining a region of interest (ROI) around the primary tumor. For histopathological results, the level of LAG-3 expression is quantified as low (\<1%), medium (1-49%), and high (\>49%), respectively. Finally, one-way ANOVA tast will be used to test the concordance between 68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3 PET/CT and histopathological result in LAG-3 expression.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluate the inter-tumor heterogeneity30 daysFor the inter-tumor heterogeneity, the investigators will use the Wilcoxon test to compare the SUVmax values of primary tumor and metastases, which are measured by 68Ga-DOTA-hLAG-3 PET/CT, for indirectly evaluating the inter-tumor heterogeneity.
