Study Details

Brief summary:

This phase I trial tests the safety of \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and how well it works to detect CD46 positive cancer cells in patients with multiple myeloma. \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 is an imaging agent called a radiopharmaceutical tracer. A radiopharmaceutical tracer uses a small amount of radioactive material that is injected into a vein to help image different areas of the body. \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 targets a specialized protein called CD46, which is in certain multiple myeloma cancer cells, and \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 PET scans may improve detection of multiple myeloma.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 18+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed multiple myeloma by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria
  • 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
  • Age >= 18 years
  • Total bilirubin =< 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< 3 X ULN
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 X ULN
  • Creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or serum creatinine <= 1.5x the institutional upper limit of normal.
  • Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness to sign it

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any condition that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, would impair the participants' ability to comply with study procedures or interfere with the safety of the investigational regimen
  • Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding/chestfeeding.
  • \- Breast-feeding/chest-feeding should be discontinued before administration of \[89ZR\]DFO-YS5.
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test (i.e., human chorionic gonadotropin test) within 72 hours prior to administration of \[89ZR\]-DFO-YS5.
  • \- If the urine pregnancy test is positive or equivocal, a confirmatory serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the individual must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
  • \- A female is considered to be of childbearing potential (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice), unless it is documented that the individual meets either of the following two criteria: (1) has reached a postmenopausal state ( >= 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause); or (2) has undergone surgical sterilization (i.e., hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy for removal of uterus and/or ovaries).
  • Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding/chestfeeding are excluded because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse effects in the unborn/nursing child secondary to treatment of the study participant with \[89ZR\]-DFO-YS5

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Cohort A ([89Zr]DFO-YS5, single scan

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

experimental: Cohort B ([89Zr]DFO-YS5, multiple scans

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

Interventions

Zirconium Zr 89-DFO-YS5

Given IV

Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (PET/CT)

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography is a nuclear medicine technique which combines, in a single gantry, a positron emission tomography scanner and an x-ray computed tomography scanner, to acquire sequential images from both devices in the same session, which are combined into a single superposed image

Positron Emission Tomography / Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI)

Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging is a hybrid imaging technology that incorporates magnetic resonance imaging soft tissue morphological imaging and positron emission tomography functional imaging.

Fludeoxyglucose F-18

Given IV

Primary outcome measure

  • Sensitivity of metastatic lesion [ Time Frame: Up to 1 week ]
  • Median maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 week ]
  • Median Standardized Uptake Value averaged across lesions (SUVmax-avg) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 week ]
