Study summary

[18F]F-PDL1-3 molecular probe was used to detect the expression of PD-L1 in primary and metastatic tumors of patients with solid tumors. The heterogeneity of PD-L1 expression in the same lesion and different lesions was further evaluated, and the changes of PD-L1 expression in the course of the disease were observed. This method is helpful for the screening of patients with solid tumors with high PD-L1 expression, efficacy monitoring, and early warning of drug resistance and/or recurrence or metastasis, and ultimately achieve individualized targeted therapy of tumors

Read the detailed description

According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 50 patients with solid tumors were selected. The first 5 subjects completed 45 minutes dynamic scan image acquisition, and then static scan was performed at subsequent time points. Each subject completed at least 1 hour and 2 hours of static acquisition, and 3 hours of image acquisition depending on the subject's physical condition and other comprehensive factors). Within 3 months after the subjects completed the examination, the researchers will retrieve the subjects' electronic medical records through the medical record system or telephone interview. The laboratory examination results, pathological results, and other imaging comprehensive diagnosis results of the subjects were collected, and the changes of lesions were observed. The expression level of PD-L1 in traditional tissue biopsy was compared with the results of [18F]F-PDL1-3 PET/CT examination.

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

  1. Age >18 years old, score 0 or 1;
  2. subjects with confirmed solid tumors (lung cancer, cervical cancer, melanoma, breast cancer, gastrointestinal tumor, etc.), recent recurrence or suspected recurrence of previous solid tumors;
  3. There was at least one measurable target lesion according to RECIST1.1 criteria;
  4. Predicted survival time ≥12 weeks;
  5. Blood routine, liver and kidney function meet the following standards: see the study protocol for specific requirements;
  6. Women must be using an effective method (effective contraception means sterilization, intrauterine hormonal devices, condoms, contraceptives/pills, abstinence, or partner's removal of the vas deferentia) during the study and for 6 months after the study; Men should consent to subjects who must use contraception during the study period and for 6 months after the end of the study period;
  7. Subjects can fully understand and voluntarily participate in this experiment, and sign an . Compliance was good.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Severe abnormal liver and kidney function.
  2. Pre-pregnancy, pregnant and lactating women.
  3. Unable to lie flat for half an hour.
  4. Refusal to be a clinical investigator.
  5. Claustrophobia or other mental illness.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

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.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    [18F]F-PDL1-3

    All study participants will be assigned to this group (single-group study). Study participants will undergo \[18F\]F-PDL1-3 PET/CT scans. The injection dose was 1.52-2.72 MBq/kg. Whole-body imaging of the head and trunk will be performed using a United imaging EXPLORER whole-body PET/CT scanner at 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h post-injection after participants have rested quietly for 40 min or 1 h. The scan range was from the apex of the thigh to the upper third of the thigh. Participants requiring dynamic scanning underwent a 40-min serial scan after injection of \[18F\]F-PDL1-3.. PET/CT static imaging was performed at 3h after injection.

    Drug: 18F-FDG · Drug: [18F]F-PDL1-3

Interventions

  • Drug18F-FDG

    participants were required to fast for more than 6 hours before examination. The prepared and qualified 18F-FDG 3.7-5.55MBq/kg was injected intravenously into the subjects. After 1 hour of rest, the subjects underwent Whole Body imaging with uEXPLORER whole-body PET/CT from the top of the head to the upper 1/3 of the thigh. Subjects were placed in the supine position and breathed calmly. The collection conditions of head and trunk were the same as above. The data were reconstructed by OSEM to obtain coronal, sagittal, and cross-sectional PET and PET/CT fusion images

  • Drug[18F]F-PDL1-3

    participants received intravenous \[18F\]F-PDL1-3 at a quality-control dose (1.52-2.72 MBq/kg). Whole-body imaging of the head and trunk will be performed using the United imaging uEXPLORER whole-body PET/CT scanner at 1 h, 2 h, and 3 h post-injection after the subject has rested quietly for 1 h. The scan range was from the apex of the thigh to the upper third of the thigh. Subjects requiring dynamic scanning underwent a 5-min CT scan prior to \[18F\]F-PDL1-3 injection, followed by 40 min of continuous image acquisition after injection. PET/CT static imaging was performed at 2 h and 3 h after injection. During the scan, the subject will be placed in the supine position and breathe quietly. Acquisition parameters for the head and trunk will be as described above. The data were reconstructed using the OSEM algorithm to generate coronal, sagittal, and transverse axial PET and PET/CT fusion images.

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.
