Phase 1
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by Robert Flavell, MD, PhD
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
At least one positive myelomatous lesion found on 18F-FDG PET/CT or PET/MRI. A positive lesion is defined as uptake greater than liver on FDG PET, based on the Italian myeloma criteria for PET use (IMPeTUs) criteria
Creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up up to 35 days

Study Summary

This trial tests a new imaging tool to detect multiple myeloma using a radioactive tracer that targets cancer cells.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with confirmed multiple myeloma, who have at least one lesion visible on PET scans. They must have normal bilirubin levels, a creatinine clearance of >=60 mL/min, and liver enzymes (AST/ALT) within three times the upper limit. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are excluded, as well as those unable to follow study procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
[89Zr]DFO-YS5 PET imaging is being tested for its ability to detect CD46 positive cancer cells in multiple myeloma patients. This phase I trial will assess the safety of this radiopharmaceutical tracer and its effectiveness in improving detection of the disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the injection of radioactive material such as discomfort at injection site or allergic reactions. Since it's an imaging study, fewer side effects are expected compared to drug treatments.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort B ([89Zr]DFO-YS5, multiple scansExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants receive [89Zr]DFO-YS5 IV and undergo four PET/CT or PET/MRI scans on days 1, 2, 3-4, and 5-7 post-injection. Participants also receive fludeoxyglucose F-18 IV and undergo PET/CT or PET/MRI scan within 28 days prior to day 1
Group II: Cohort A ([89Zr]DFO-YS5, single scanExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants receive [89Zr]DFO-YS5 IV and undergo a single PET/CT or PET/MRI scan 5-7 days post-injection. Participants also receive fludeoxyglucose F-18 IV and undergo PET/CT or PET/MRI scan within 28 days prior to day 1

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is [89Zr]DFO-YS5, single scan a secure procedure for Cohort A participants?

"The safety of Cohort A ([89Zr]DFO-YS5, single scan) was rated a 1 on Power's scale due to the lack of evidence for efficacy and safety thus far in Phase I research."

Answered by AI

Are there any vacancies open to prospective participants for this clinical trial?

"Sadly, the clinical trial is not presently accepting participants. The posting was originally made on July 1st 2023 and last edited on May 26th of that same year. Nonetheless, there are 833 other trials with open enrollment at this moment in time."

Answered by AI

To what ends is this research endeavor striving?

"This clinical trial, with a duration of up to 1 week, will observe the Median maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) as its principal objective. Secondary goals include: calculating Average organ uptake of [89Zr]DFO-YS5 through regions of interest; noting Descriptive patterns of intra-tumoral uptake in terms of signal and interpatient heterogeneity; and Dosimetry measurements for Cohort B patients which records activity coefficients over time."
