About this study
Official title: A Single-Center, Phase I, Single-Arm Prospective Interventional Study of GPRC5D-Targeted PET/CT Imaging in Patients With Multiple Myeloma and Other Plasma Cell Disorders
This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm Phase I study evaluating GPRC5D-targeted PET/CT imaging in patients with plasma cell disorders, including multiple myeloma.
Participants will undergo GPRC5D-targeted PET/CT, 18F-FDG PET/CT, and 68Ga-BCMA PET/CT within 5 days whenever feasible for head-to-head comparison of lesion detection and disease assessment.
The study aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility, biodistribution, and diagnostic performance of GPRC5D-targeted PET/CT and to compare its imaging characteristics with currently available molecular imaging modalities in plasma cell disorders.
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm Phase I interventional imaging study designed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, biodistribution, and diagnostic performance of GPRC5D-targeted PET/CT imaging in patients with plasma cell disorders, including multiple myeloma.
GPRC5D is a novel therapeutic and molecular imaging target that is highly expressed on malignant plasma cells while showing limited expression in normal tissues. Recent advances in GPRC5D-targeted immunotherapies have demonstrated promising clinical activity in multiple myeloma, highlighting the potential value of GPRC5D-directed molecular imaging for disease detection, tumor burden evaluation, treatment selection, therapeutic response assessment and prognostic evaluation.
Current standard molecular imaging with 18F-FDG PET/CT has several limitations in multiple myeloma, including reduced sensitivity in lesions with low hexokinase-2 expression and limited specificity due to inflammatory uptake.Therefore, development of novel imaging approaches targeting alternative plasma cell antigens may improve disease evaluation and provide complementary biological information.
In this study, eligible participants will undergo GPRC5D-targeted PET/CT imaging together with standard molecular imaging examinations, including 18F-FDG PET/CT and 68Ga-BCMA PET/CT. Whenever feasible, all imaging studies will be completed within 5 days to minimize interval changes in disease status and enable direct head-to-head comparison among imaging modalities.
Imaging findings from GPRC5D-targeted PET/CT will be compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT and 68Ga-BCMA PET/CT with respect to lesion detectability, disease distribution, tumor uptake characteristics, and overall disease assessment. The study will also evaluate tracer biodistribution, radiation dosimetry, image quality, and safety of the GPRC5D-targeted radiotracer.
The results of this study may help establish GPRC5D-targeted PET/CT as a novel molecular imaging tool for plasma cell disorders and support future development of GPRC5D-directed theranostic strategies in multiple myeloma.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2026. 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 China. 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?
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.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Tingfei Dr. Gu, M.D (010-83572913, tingfei.gu@stx.ox.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Diagnostic Accuracy of GPRC5D-Targeted PET/CT for Detection of Disease Lesions (time frame: Within 5 days after completion of all PET/CT imaging examinations). 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 NCT07660939, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 28 Sep 2026.
