About this study

Official title: First In-human PET Imaging Studies With NIS Reporter [18F]BF4

The goal of this proposal is to perform first-in-man evaluation of and experimental imaging agent F-18 tetrafluoroborate (BF4) or (TFB).

Read the detailed description

F-18 tetrafluoroborate (BF4) or (TFB) is being used as a PET (Positron Emission Tomography) imaging biomarker for expression of the human sodium/iodide symporter (hNIS) in tissues. Imaging of functional hNIS activity in tissues with [18F]BF4 is anticipated to provide superior sensitivity and image quality to I-123 or Tc-99m SPECT for monitoring hNIS transduction effected by viral therapies. The proposed work is designed to 1) evaluate its safety, biodistribution, metabolism and radiation dosimetry characteristics in 8 healthy human volunteers and 2) evaluate the imaging feasibility in comparison with I-123 or Tc-99m SPECT of hNIS expression in a) 10 myeloma patients treated with Edmonston Measles virus-NIS (MV-NIS) and b) 10 endometrial cancer patients treated with vesicular stomatitis virus engineered to express human interferon and NIS (VSV-hINF-NIS). This data will be necessary to support future regulatory submissions.

Study groups in NCT02907073
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Healthy VolunteersExperimentalAt the study visit, healthy subjects will have an initial physical exam, urine pregnancy test (if applicable) and will have catheters placed for i.v. drug administration and blood sampling. Vital signs, and blood samples will be obtained. Subjects will receive an infusion [18F]BF4 over 1 minute and PET imaging will begin. Three (3) PET/CT scanning procedures will be performed over a period of approximately 4 hours with two rest breaks in between. Venous blood samples for clinical laboratory tests will be taken before radiotracer administration and at 1.5 hours post-administration of radiotracer. In addition, venous blood samples will be taken during the PET/CT scans to determine blood pharmacokinetics and metabolite evaluation. Physical exam will be repeated at the end of the study.
Receives: Drug: BF4
Myeloma patientsExperimentalFor cancer patients undergoing virus treatments, subjects will undergo [18F]BF4-PET/CT imaging at baseline before virus administration and at day 9 following virus treatment. Subjects will be screened by physician specialists within their clinics. Subjects who qualify for the study will return to the clinic within 30 days of screening, have a urine pregnancy test (if applicable) and will have catheters placed for i.v. drug administration. Vital signs will be obtained. All subjects will then receive a single i.v. bolus of [18F]BF4 for injection and PET/CT imaging will begin. Biopsies will be performed to confirm NIS expression in tissue of tumor regions showing uptake of [18F]BF4 in up to three myeloma patients when the site is accessible for biopsy.
Receives: Drug: BF4
Endometrial cancer patientsExperimentalFor cancer patients undergoing virus treatments, subjects will undergo [18F]BF4-PET/CT imaging at baseline before virus administration and at day 9 following virus treatment. Subjects will be screened by physician specialists within their clinics. Subjects who qualify for the study will return to the clinic within 30 days of screening, have a urine pregnancy test (if applicable) and will have catheters placed for i.v. drug administration. Vital signs will be obtained. All subjects will then receive a single i.v. bolus of [18F]BF4 for injection and PET/CT imaging will begin. Biopsies will be performed to confirm NIS expression in tissue of tumor regions showing uptake of [18F]BF4 in up to three endometrial cancer patients when the site is accessible for biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of Tissue Distribution of F-18 BF4 in Healthy Volunteers

    F-18 BF4 concentrations in major tissues (e.g., heart, blood pool, lung, liver, thyroid, stomach, kidney, brain, muscle) will be evaluated from the PET images from 0-240 minutes post-administration. Results will be used to compute radiation dosimetry estimates.

    Measured: 0-240 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Amount of Imaging Agent in Tumor (Uptake) in Myeloma and Endometrial Cancer Patients

    Areas of positive uptake within tumor, relative to background, measured by Standardized Update Value (SUV). PET SUV is tissue concentration/injected dose/body weight in grams.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 9

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BF4 in people with Myeloma and Endometrial Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2019. 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 United States. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Evaluation of Tissue Distribution of F-18 BF4 in Healthy Volunteers (time frame: 0-240 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 May 2019.
