A Phase 1 interventional study of PET imaging with ⁸⁹Zr-trastuzumab and Blood sampling for pharmacokinetics in Lung Cancer (NSCLC), HER2 Expression and HER2 Gene Mutation, sponsored by The Netherlands Cancer Institute. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Netherlands. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-11.

The investigators investigate whether PET imaging with ⁸⁹Zr-trastuzumab can reliably demonstrate the extent of tracer accumulation in tumors of patients with HER2-mutated or HER2-overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim is to determine whether differences in tracer uptake can be detected between these groups, as translational studies indicate that HER2-mutated tumors may internalize trastuzumab-based agents more efficiently than tumors that solely overexpressed HER2.
Laboratory Test Laboratory Value Platelet count ≥100 000/mm3 or ≥100 × 109/L (platelet transfusions are not allowed up to 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 to meet eligibility) Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL or 5.6 mmol/L (transfusion and/or growth factor support is allowed) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/mm3 or ≥1.5 × 109/L Aspartate aminotransferase /alanine aminotransferase ≤3 × ULN (if liver metastases are present, ≤5 ×ULN) Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN if no liver metastases (\<3 x ULN in the presence of documented Gilbert's Syndrome (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia) or liver metastases Creatinine Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min as calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
International normalised ratio (INR)/Prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 × (ULN), except for subjects on coumarinderivative anticoagulants or other similar anticoagulant therapy, who must have PT-INR within therapeutic range as deemed appropriate by the Investigator
Highly Effective Methods of Contraception (\<1% failure rate) include:
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with advanced NSCLC carrying an activating HER2 mutation (N=10) Patients with advanced NSCLC whose tumors overexpress HER2, but do not have an activating HER2 mutation (N=10).
Diagnostic Test: PET imaging with ⁸⁹Zr-trastuzumab · Diagnostic Test: Blood sampling for pharmacokinetics
Participants will receive one injection of ⁸⁹Zr-trastuzumab and undergo a PET/CT scan four days later.
To assess the pharmacokinetics of ⁸⁹Zr-trastuzumab, the investigators collect blood samples at multiple time points following tracer administration. Samples are drawn at 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours post-injection, and again on day 4 and day 7 post-injection.
