ImmunoPET Imaging for Multiple Myeloma
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
Evaluation of myeloma disease burden is currently suboptimal. This limits treatment planning and evaluation of residual disease following treatment. 89Zr-DFO-daratumumab is a novel immunoPET tracer, designed to detect CD38 on myeloma cells and allow visualization of myeloma in a PET scanner. A phase I study of 89Zr-DFO-daratumumab demonstrated safety and successful visualization of myeloma with 89Zr-DFO-daratumumab. This will be a phase II study of 89Zr-DFO-daratumumab to evaluate potential clinical applications of this novel imaging agent.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug 89Zr-daratumumab PET/CT for multiple myeloma?
Research shows that 89Zr-daratumumab PET/CT is effective in targeting CD38, a protein found on myeloma cells, allowing for precise imaging of multiple myeloma in both animal models and humans. This drug demonstrated high specificity and sensitivity in detecting myeloma tumors, making it a promising tool for imaging and potentially guiding treatment.12345
Is 89Zr-DFO-daratumumab safe for use in humans?
How does ImmunoPET imaging for multiple myeloma differ from other treatments?
ImmunoPET imaging for multiple myeloma is unique because it uses a radiolabeled antibody, 89Zr-DFO-daratumumab, to specifically target and visualize CD38, a protein found on myeloma cells, allowing for precise imaging of the disease. This approach differs from traditional treatments as it focuses on imaging rather than directly treating the cancer, providing a non-invasive method to monitor disease progression and response to therapy.124910
