Study of 68GaNOTA-Anti-MMR-VHH2 in Oncological Lesions, Cardiovascular Atherosclerosis, Syndrome With Abnormal Immune Activation and sarcoïdosis

Study Purpose

Phase II study to evaluate the clinical potential of 68GaNOTA-anti-MMR-VHH2 for in vivo imaging of Macrophage Mannose Receptor (MMR)-expressing Macrophages by means of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in patients with oncological lesions in need of non-surgical therapy, patients with cardiovascular atherosclerosis, syndrome with abnormal immune activation and sarcoïdosis.

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.

NCT04758650
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.

Interventions

Drug: - 68GaNOTA-Anti-MMR-VHH2

All subjects will receive at least one single intravenous injection of the IMP followed by a total body PET/CT prior to receiving standard-of-care therapy. For patients in cohorts 1 and 2 : an optional injection of the IMP during or after therapy can be administered if a patient is treated with non-surgical modalities. Patients in cohorts 6 and 7 who receive standard-of-care treatment can receive an optional injection of the IMP.
