Details and patient eligibility

About

89Zr-TLX250 is a carbonic anydrase IX (CAIX)-targeted imaging agent that is under clinical development as a non-invasive diagnostic imaging agent for teh detection of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The Phase 1 study part of this study is to confirm the safety/tolerability and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) in subjects with suspected renal cell carcinoma (RCC) including clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The Phase 2 component of the study is to to evaluate the sensitivity/specificity of using 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT images to detect RCC and ccRCC in patients with suspected RCC.

Full description

Phase 1:

The phase 1 component of this study will be conducted in in 6-10 subjects at one study center, with the objective of confirming the safety/tolerability and the whole-body dose distribution of 89Zr-TLX250. 89Zr-TLX250 will be administered via a single IV injection (at least 3 min) at an activity dose of 37 MBq (± 10%) and at a dose of 10 mg (±10%). After the enrollment of 6 subjects, if the male-to-female ratio is different from the Japanese epidemiological RCC data (male-to-female ratio ≒ 2:1 in 2017), more subjects, up to 10 subjects in total, are to be enrolled.

Blood sampling for pharmacokinetic analysis will be is performed at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 24, 72 h and during the Day 5 ± 2 imaging visit. The dose distribution will be determined using low-dose, non-contrast-enhanced CT whole body imaging at 0.5, 4, 24, 72 h and Day 5 ± 2. Diagnostic images will be acquired on Day 3 and Day 5 ± 2 using whole body PET/CT-imaging where individual organs will be assessed using Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) method.

Seven days after the Day 5 ± 2 imaging visit, patients will attend a follow-up visit to conduct safety evaluations and to undergo blood sampling for HACA measurement.

Phase 2:

The phase 2 component of this study will be conducted after the completion of the phase 1 study in 6-10 patients. This part of the study is equivalent to a phase 2, open-label, multi-center (2-5 sites) to assess the sensitivity/specificity of PET/CT images in subjects with suspected but not definitely diagnosed RCC including ccRCC. The study is intended to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT test as a non-invasive test with the CAIX-targeted imaging agent 89Zr-TLX250. The study will include patients who are scheduled to undergo a partial or total nephrectomy. Patients with an indeterminate renal mass with the longest diameter of 7cm or less, by diagnostic imaging, will receive a single administration of 37 MBq (+/- 10%) 89Zr-TLX250. Imaging will then be conducted Day 5 ± 2 post administration. The partial/total nephrectomy will be performed at institutional discretion any time following the PET/CT imaging visit, but no later than 90 days post administration of 89Zr-TLX250. Histological tumour samples will be prepared and used for histological diagnosis of the renal mass (ccRCC or non-ccRCC) read by a central laboratory.

Image data analyses will be performed by a central image core lab. Qualitative visual analysis (presence or absence of localised 89Zr-TLX250 uptake inside or in vicinity of renal lesion, as seen on contrast-enhanced CT or MRI), will be used to assess test performance or 89Zr-TLX-250 PET/CT imaging to non-invasively detect ccRCC, using histological results from the central histological reference laboratory as standard of truth.
