PD-L1 Expression in Cancer (PECan Study).

Study Purpose

Measurement of PD-L1 expression in cancer to monitor treatment response. A prospective non-blinded, single centre, single interventional arm diagnostic imaging study. To determine the baseline level and variability within and between patients and tumour types of PD-L1 expression in melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer in immunotherapy naïve patients using [99mTc]-anti-PD-L1 SPECT/CT and immunohistochemistry.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04436406
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Using [99mTc]-labeled anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody, this study aims to prospectively measure changes in PD-L1 expression determined with SPECT/CT imaging and correlate these changes with response to anti-PD(L)1 immunotherapy.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Advanced malignant disease (non-small cell lung cancer or malignant melanoma)

Group 1: Participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as per inclusion/exclusion criteria undergo baseline PD-L1 expression testing by immunohistochemistry and [99m-Tc]-anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody SPECT/CT imaging at 0 and 9 weeks. FDG-PET/CT is also performed at baseline (0) and first follow-up (9) weeks scans, in addition to standard CT clinical imaging at 0, 9 and 18 weeks. Group 2: Participants with malignant melanoma (MM) as per inclusion/exclusion criteria undergo baseline PD-L1 expression testing by immunohistochemistry and [99m-Tc]-anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody SPECT/CT imaging at 0 and 12 weeks. FDG-PET/CT is also performed as standard clinical imaging at baseline (0), first follow-up (12) weeks and 24 weeks.

Interventions

Diagnostic Test: - [99mTc]-NM-01 SPECT/CT

Technetium labelled anti-PD-L1 single-domain antibody (NM-01) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT
