An Early Phase 1 interventional study of GRPR PET/CT in Malignancies Multiple, sponsored by Jewish General Hospital. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-18.
Sponsored by Jewish General Hospital · Early Phase 1, Interventional, and Diagnostic
This open-label imaging study will evaluate [⁶⁸Ga]-LY4257529 PET/CT, a gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR)-targeted radiopharmaceutical, in patients with cancers known or suspected to express GRPR. Up to 60 participants will be enrolled in two cohorts: 30 patients with breast cancer and 30 patients with other selected malignancies, including prostate, ovarian, pancreatic, small-cell lung, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and other tumors with documented GRPR expression.
Jewish General Hospital is the lead sponsor of 97 studies on the registry; 11 are open to participants now.

Age 18 years or older Able to understand and provide written
Diagnosis of a breast cancer or other tumor known or suspected to express GRPR, including:
ER-positive/-negative breast cancer Invasive lobular breast cancer Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Small-cell lung cancer Ovarian cancer Prostate cancer with biochemical recurrence and a negative PSMA PET/CT pancreatic cancer after pancreatic surgery Other tumor with GRPR expression demonstrated on histopathology performance status 0-3 Under the care of a referring physician Able to tolerate PET/CT imaging, including lying supine for up to 30 minutes with arms above the head and intravenous cannulation
Exclusion Criteria:
Tumor type known in the literature not to express GRPR, unless patient-specific tissue demonstrates GRPR expression Medically unstable condition, including acute cardiac or respiratory distress or hypotension Weight exceeding PET/CT table limit of 200 kg or inability to fit within the 70-cm PET/CT bore Unmanageable claustrophobia Known allergic or reaction to a prior GRPR-targeting radioligand such as ⁶⁸Ga-RM2 or bombesin analogues Pregnancy Lactation For individuals of , inability to document a negative pregnancy test before tracer administration
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.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.
In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
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.
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.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Participants with breast cancer or other selected GRPR-expressing malignancies will receive a single intravenous administration of approximately 170 MBq ±20% of \[⁶⁸Ga\]-LY4257529, followed by PET/CT imaging approximately 50-70 minutes after injection. All participants undergo the same imaging intervention.
Diagnostic Test: GRPR PET/CT
\[⁶⁸Ga\]-LY4257529 is an investigational gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR)-targeted PET radiopharmaceutical. Participants will receive approximately 170 MBq ±20% (4.6 mCi ±20%) intravenously. PET/CT imaging will begin approximately 50-70 minutes after administration to evaluate GRPR-targeted tumor uptake and distribution.
Per-Patient GRPR PET/CT Detection Rate
Proportion of participants with at least one GRPR-positive lesion on \[⁶⁸Ga\]-LY4257529 PET/CT. Detection rate will be calculated as the number of participants with at least one GRPR-positive lesion divided by the total number of participants in the relevant cancer cohort.
