Study summary

This is a prospective, open-label, single-center clinical study targeting renal cell carcinoma. Sixty patients with a high clinical suspicion of renal cell carcinoma were included. Qualified subjects will undergo 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT examination. The aim is to establish the optimal imaging protocol; evaluate the distribution characteristics and correlations of physiological and pathological positive uptake, and using pathological results as the gold standard, assess the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT in renal cell carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

This research process is divided into screening period, baseline period, safety visit period, and diagnostic efficacy follow-up period.

  1. Screening period (D-7 to D-1): No more than 7 days

    Screening is conducted within 7 days before the administration of 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 (D-7 to D-1). Before any study-related procedures, subjects must sign a written informed consent form. After signing the informed consent form, the following screening procedures are performed:

    ① Review of inclusion/exclusion criteria.

    • Collection of medical history, including but not limited to clinical data of the subjects and relevant auxiliary examination results (routine imaging examinations, tumor markers, biopsy results, etc.), numbering each subject and establishing a medical record.

      • Collection of demographic data (including gender, age, etc.). ④ Recording of concomitant medications/adverse events. If any inclusion criteria are not met or any exclusion criteria are met, the screening is considered failed.
  2. Baseline period (drug/administration period) (D0): 1 day Subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and do not meet any exclusion criteria will receive an injection of 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 and undergo a PET/CT scan on D0. The following assessments are performed again before administration, and only after a comprehensive evaluation by the doctor are they eligible for injection.

    • Concomitant medications after screening visit ② Weight

      • Vital signs

        • Adverse events Single dose, 0.05-0.1mCi/kg body weight, intravenous injection of 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 0.05-0.1mCi/kg PET/CT scan is performed 50-80 minutes after administration.
  3. Safety visit period (D0 to D4): 4 days

    • Follow-up on whether subjects have adverse reactions after administration.

      ② 2 hours ± 10 minutes after administration: monitoring of adverse events in subjects.

      ③ 1-4 days after administration: telephone follow-up to assess for delayed adverse events.

  4. Diagnostic efficacy follow-up period (D1 to D180): 6 months Follow-up on biopsy/surgical pathology results of subjects (preferably completed within 1 month after imaging) and imaging results to confirm the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT in renal cell carcinoma.

    When conducting diagnostic efficacy follow-up, the following should be recorded simultaneously: concomitant medications and adverse events.

  5. Withdrawal from study/premature termination of study

    If patients do not complete the PET examination according to the process, for subjects who withdraw prematurely, the following follow-up should be completed:

    ① Concomitant medications

    ② Adverse events

  6. Premature termination or suspension of study Reasons for study termination may include but are not limited to: new information on safety, requirements of the competent authorities. Other reasons include but are not limited to: excessive protocol violations, insufficient concern for subject safety, researcher turnover or insufficient staffing, etc.

In the event of any of the following situations during the study, the study may be terminated, and the competent authority should promptly report to the health department responsible for clinical research registration:

  • There is a violation of laws and regulations, rules;

    • There is a violation of ethical principles or the principles of scientific integrity;

      • During the study, it is found that the study drug may have serious quality defects; ④ Serious safety risks are found in clinical research;

        • There is commercial bribery or other improper interest relationships; ⑥ Other situations that should stop the study. For all situations where the study is suspended or terminated, appropriate steps will be taken to ensure the safety of the subjects.

Definition of study completion: PET imaging, result analysis, and necessary clinical follow-up of all study subjects have been completed.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    before-after study in the same patient

    This is a prospective, open-label, single-center clinical study for renal cell carcinoma. Sixty patients clinically suspected of having renal cell carcinoma and undergoing 68Ga-PSMA PET scans were included. Qualified subjects underwent 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET scans within 7 days after completing the 68Ga-PSMA PET scan. Patient medical history was collected and laboratory tests were performed before the examination, and a biopsy or surgery was performed to obtain pathological results within 1 month after the examination, followed by a 6-month follow-up. The pathological results were used as the diagnostic gold standard.

    Diagnostic Test: 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT Scan

    Maximum Standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of \[68Ga\]RCCB6 and \[68Ga\]PSMA in the included subjects' primary and/or metastatic lesions.

    Time frame: 1 day from injection of the tracer

  2. Mean Standardized Uptake Value(SUVmean) of liver

    Mean Standardized uptake value (SUVmean) of \[68Ga\]RCCB6 and \[68Ga\]PSMA in the included subjects' liver.

    Time frame: 1 day from injection of the tracer

  3. Tumor to Background Ratio(TBR)

    TBR=SUVmax/SUVmean

    Time frame: 1 day from injection of the tracer

  4. The correlation between CD70 expression and [18F]RCCB6 uptake value

    The Standardized uptake value (SUV) of \[68Ga\]RCCB6 will be calculated, and the correlation between pathological results and tumor uptake of \[68Ga\]RCCB6 will be analyzed.

    Time frame: 30 days from injection of the tracer

Secondary outcomes

  1. Diagnostic value of 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT in patients with RCC

    We will calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT in patients with RCC. We will also compare the diagnostic value of \[68Ga\]RCCB6 with \[68Ga\]PSMA. All the above goals will be achieved by analyzing the 68Ga-NOTA-RCCB6 PET/CT and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging data.

    Time frame: 3-6 months from injection of the tracer

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2025, 9 months after the start.

Of 108 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Carcinoma, Renal Cell, half reached primary completion within 48 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 128. This study's planned 9 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 115 studies reached it within 48 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 128.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Jan 10, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
