Trial summary

The primary objective of the study is to test a new radiotracer called 64Cu-DOTA-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. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. Evaluation of a New Radiotracer Targeting uPAR (Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor) for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of the Invasive Cancer Phenotype. First in Man.

The primary objective of the study is to test a new radiotracer called 64Cu-DOTA-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 (1,3 and 24 hours post injection).

The primary objective of the study is to test a new radiotracer called 64Cu-DOTA-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 (1,3 and 24 hours post injection). The primary end points are Biodistribution and dosimetry of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. In addition, the quantitative uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 in tumors and expression of uPAR in tumor tissue obtained by surgery or biopsies (either 14 days before (only biopsies) or after the PET scans) will be compared to validate the image-derived data on UPAR expression

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Biodistribution

    The patients will be PET scanned 1, 3 and 24 hours post injection of the radiotracer 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. These different timepoints will be used for assessment of biodistribution

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Dosimetry

    The patients will be PET scanned 1, 3 and 24 hours post injection of the radiotracer 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. These different timepoints will be used for calculation of dosimetry

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Expression of UPAR in tumor tissue

    Tumor uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 will be compared with expression of uPAR (using immunohistochemistry and ELISA) in tumor tissue obtained from biopsies/or operative removal of the tumors.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Quantitative uptake of UPAR in tumor tissue

    The patients will be PET scanned 1, 3 and 24 hours post injection of the radiotracer 64Cu-DOTA-AE105. These different timepoints will be used for assessment of tumor uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 will be assessed by PET scans 1, 3 and 24 hours post injection

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Injection of 64Cu-DOTA-AE105 in people with Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Biodistribution (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02139371, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Dec 2014.
