Study summary

This is a preliminary evaluation of a radiotracer's biodistribution in human subjects. It is a prospective, single-centre, open-label, single group assignment interventional study.

Prostate cancer is very common, and PSMA imaging is currently the most accurate means of localizing these tumours.

The goal is to evaluate the biodistribution and safety of [68Ga]HTK03149 PET/CT for prostate cancer imaging.

Read the detailed description

Each subject will have a PET/CT scan using [68Ga]HTK03149 . The [68Ga]HTK03149 radioactive tracer is manufactured for this study under a Clinical Trial Application filed with Health Canada.

After providing informed written consent subjects will complete a medical history questionnaire.

Monitoring of adverse events There will be short-term evaluation of adverse events by comparison of vital signs before and after administration of [68Ga]HTK03149 . Eighteen to seventy-two hours after [68Ga]HTK03149 administration the participant will return to the imaging department to perform a follow up safety assessment and routine blood draw. The study coordinator will ask the participant if they have experienced any adverse events during that time period and complete the adverse event questionnaire.

Follow-up Assessments

The following information will be collected up to 12 months following the PET/CT scans:

Initiation of a new treatment, Laboratory results and pathology reports, Results of imaging studies, Final clinical diagnosis by physician and relevant clinical notes. The study is expected to take up to 1 year for accrual.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants with newly diagnosed or documented prostate cancers (PCa), with at least one based on CT, MR or at least one visualised lesion on PET/CT imaging (either from an 18F-DCFPyL or 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET).
  • performance status of 2 or less.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Medically unstable (eg. acute illness, unstable vital signs)
  • Unable to lie supine for the duration of imaging
  • Unable to provide written consent
  • Exceeds safe weight limit of the PET/CT bed (204.5 kg) or unable to fit through the PET/CT bore (diameter 70 cm)
  • Patients with widespread liver occupying more than 50% of the liver volume will not be eligible to participate in this study as this would preclude assessment of normal liver activity for dosimetry purposes.
  • Patients with baseline or AST higher than 5× or 250 U/L.
  • Patients with elevated baseline levels of total (higher than 1.2× ULN, or 1.3 mg/dL, (with exception of Gilbert's syndrome), with >1.2, or count below the lower limit of normal (typically \<150 000/μL.
  • Patients with elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP), equal to or higher than 2× ULN or 250 U/L, unless the ALP elevation is not from a hepatic origin.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Biodistribution of 68Ga-HTK03149 PET/CT in human subjects

    Evaluate the biodistribution of 68Ga-HTK03149 in human subjects, which will enable calculating the radiation dosimetry of this radiopharmaceutical. The efficacy parameters will be the following: Individual organ dose and effective dose measured in mSV/MBq. Descriptive statistics on normal organ and tumour uptake reported in standardized uptake values (SUV). Tumour/blood, tumour/liver, tumour/kidney and tumour/lung ratios will be reported.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with 68Ga-HTK03149 related adverse events as assessed by abnormal vital sign measurement

    Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate and pulse oximetry) will be measured at four time points. All values that fall outside of the normal parameters will be assessed by a physician and reported as an adverse event.

    Time frame: Before injection, 1 hours post injection, 2 hours post injection and 2.5 hours post injection

  2. Number of participants with self-reported 68Ga-HTK03149 related adverse event

    Patients will return to the department 18-72 hours after the 68Ga-HTK03149 PET/CT scan to see if they experienced any adverse events. These are recorded and evaluated for severity and likelihood they are related to the study drug. All adverse events will be recorded and summarized in the final report.

    Time frame: 18-72 hours

  3. Perform a preliminary assessment of 68Ga-HTK03149 uptake in prostate cancer lesions

    Determination of tumour uptake will be performed by contouring the tumours using a threshold to match the size of the lesion on CT imaging. The standardized uptake value (SUV) will be calculated and normalized for both body weight and lean body mass (SUVlean). The maximal, mean and peak (activity in the highest 1 cc voxel cluster) will be determined and recorded. The tumour/blood, tumour/liver and tumour/lung ratios will be reported for descriptive analysis.

    Time frame: Up to 12 months

Ran from Aug 2021 to primary completion in Dec 2021, 3 months.

Of 1,098 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Prostatic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 86. This study's 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,155 studies reached it within 43 months; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 84.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 3, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
