Clinical Trial Summary

68Ga-labelled [DOTA0,DGlu1,desGlu2-6,(N-Me)Nle11,1-Nal13]minigastrin (68Ga-DOTA-MGS5) is a novel radiopharmaceutical for intravenous administration for evaluation of the cholecystokinin receptor (CCK2R) status in patients with CCK2R-related malignancies. CCK2R is expressed at high incidence in medullary thyroid carcinomas (92%) and frequently expressed also in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NET, 22%). In this phase I/IIa study the safety of administration and the biodistribution of 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 will be evaluated in patients with advanced MTC as well as gastroenteropancreatic and bronchopulmonary NET. In addition, the visualization of tumour lesions as well as the absorbed organ and tumour radiation dose will be evaluated. The new positron emission tomography (PET) imaging modality has the potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy in patients with advanced MTC as well as gastroenteropancreatic and bronchopulmonary NET. After successful application in diagnostic imaging, CCK2R targeting with therapeutic radionuclides bears high potential also to improve the therapeutic management of patients with advanced disease.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a monocentric, open-label, single dose diagnostic Phase I/IIa study. Due to the very limited number of patients and the rare nature of the disease the study was designed as a combination of phases I and IIa. The main objectives of such an early phase clinical trial are safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and - in the case of radiopharmaceuticals - dosimetry aspects. All patients will undergo a diagnostic PET/CT imaging study with 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5. The study population will be divided in two groups: Group A: In this group six patients with advanced MTC will be injected with a single dose of 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the intravenous injection as well as the preliminary tumour targeting properties of 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 in MTC patients. Lesions with focal 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 uptake not explained by physiologic CCK2R expression will be interpreted as metastatic disease. Group B: In this group additional six patients with other advanced gastroenteropancreatic and bronchopulmonary NET will be included. Besides confirming the safety and tolerability of the intravenous injection of 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5, the preliminary tumour targeting properties will be characterized also for advanced NET. Again, lesions with focal 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 uptake not explained by physiologic CCK2R expression will be interpreted as metastatic disease. In the first six patients (independently of the group) 5-6 PET/CT whole-body examinations at different time points after injection will be acquired to evaluate the whole-body distribution and determine the absorbed organ and tumour radiation doses. From this data set the optimal time window for PET/CT imaging will be established to reduce the number of scans to 2 examinations in the last six patients. The dosimetry data will allow to identify potential critical organs also for possible therapeutic applications. In addition, for pharmacokinetic characterization, serial venous whole blood samples will be collected in the first six patients after each PET examination and urine samples will be collected. The screening examinations will be performed up to 16 days prior the imaging study. Only subjects fulfilling all the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be accepted in the study. The administration of 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 will be performed using a venous access. 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 PET/CT imaging at 2-6 time points will be performed using 3D PET/CT. In the first six patients (independently of the group) additional blood sampling for pharmacokinetic assessments will be performed using a venous access at the opposite arm of the patient and urine collection will be carried out. If needed, patients may be hospitalised for the study procedures. Such a planned hospitalisation for study purposes will not be considered a SAE. A first follow-up visit will be performed after the last imaging time point or on the next day after 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 administration. A second follow-up safety visit is scheduled at day 7 to 16 after 68Ga-DOTA-MGS5 administration. The clinical trial ends when the last patient has completed the planned last visit according to protocol. ;
