Imaging Agent 111In-ABD147 for Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new imaging agent, 111In-ABD147 (a radioactive tracer), to evaluate its effectiveness in detecting metastatic cancer in individuals with certain solid tumors, particularly those with neuroendocrine features. Participants will receive the imaging agent and undergo a special scan to determine if the cancer is detectable. Candidates for this trial include individuals with castration-resistant prostate cancer, high-grade neuroendocrine tumors, or other solid tumors that have spread. As an Early Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to help researchers understand how this new imaging agent functions in people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that the imaging agent 111In-ABD147 is safe for detecting metastatic cancer?
Research has shown that 111In-ABD147 might be a safe imaging tool for detecting cancer. In studies, this tool locates tumors by attaching to a specific protein found on many cancer cells. Although these studies do not fully outline the safety details for 111In-ABD147, the trial phase offers some insight. As an early Phase 1 trial, the main goal is to assess the treatment's safety for participants. This means there might be limited safety information available now, but the trial aims to gather more data on how well participants tolerate it.
Participants in this trial will be closely monitored for any side effects after receiving the agent. This careful observation ensures participant safety as researchers learn more about how the agent functions in the body.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about 111In-ABD147 because it offers a unique approach to imaging various cancer types, such as castration-resistant prostate cancer, high-grade neuroendocrine tumors, and solid tumors. Unlike traditional imaging agents, 111In-ABD147 is designed to provide clearer and more precise imaging results through SPECT/CT scans, potentially improving the detection and monitoring of tumors. This agent uses indium-111, a radioisotope that enhances imaging capabilities, allowing doctors to see cancer activity more accurately and potentially leading to better-targeted treatment plans. By offering a new level of imaging detail, 111In-ABD147 could significantly impact how these cancers are diagnosed and managed.
What evidence suggests that the imaging agent 111In-ABD147 is effective for detecting metastatic cancer?
Research has shown that 111In-ABD147 might help detect cancer spread in solid tumors. This imaging agent targets DLL3, a protein often found in certain cancer cells, especially those with neuroendocrine traits. In this trial, participants will receive 111In-ABD147 to evaluate its potential as a diagnostic tool for metastatic prostate cancer, high-grade neuroendocrine tumors, and other solid tumors. Although early results appear positive, more data is needed to confirm its effectiveness across different cancer types.23678
