Study Summary

Currently there is no clinical biomarker that can be used to select patients for CCR2-targeted therapy and to monitor response to such therapy. Considering the toxicity and the rate of response to CCR2-targeted therapy, it is crucial to be able to identify patients who may not response to this therapy in order to avoid the morbidity and expense associated with ineffective therapy.

Therefore, the combination of the novel CCR2 imaging agent with the novel CCR2-targeted therapy in this trial is of great importance to promote science while prolonging the life and its quality in patients with PDAC. The investigators also believe that this combination will make substantial contributions to the fields of cancer immunotherapy and tumor monocyte/macrophage biology. Moreover, this imaging agent has the potential to not only facilitate development and testing of future CCR2-targeted therapeutic agents but also serve as a prescreen tool to select appropriate patients for imaging guided treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult patients 18 years of age or older with:

  • newly diagnosed early-staged localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)scheduled to undergo Whipple procedure (cohort 1a) or down-staged afterneoadjuvant chemotherapy now eligible to undergo resection OR

  • borderline resectable, locally advanced, metastatic, or recurrent PDAC (cohort 1b) scheduled to undergo chemotherapy OR

  • borderline resectable, locally advanced PDAC (cohort 2) who is eligible and /or signed consent to undergo CCR2-targeted therapy example:[(phase 1/2 clinicaltrial combining an oral CCR2/5i (BMS-813160) with chemotherapy (gemcitabineplus nab-paclitaxel) and anti-PD-1 (nivolumab), PI, Dr. Kian Lim) HRPO

#201806007 - closed to accrual March 2022] AND

  • at least one measurable [defined as lesions that can be accurately measured inat least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 10 mm with CTscan or MRI] A cohort 1B subject who has been previously treated for PDAC witha diagnosis of recurrence and a lesion size of 1.5 cm or greater will beallowed to enroll before institution of therapy or within 20 days afterstarting a 2nd line or later (new therapy) for recurrent disease.

  • Able to give informed consent

  • Not currently pregnant or nursing: Subject must be surgically sterile (has had adocumented bilateral oophorectomy and/or documented hysterectomy), post-menopausal (cessation of menses for more than 1 year), non-lactating, or of childbearingpotential for whom a urine pregnancy test (with the test performed within the 24hour period immediately prior to administration of 64Cu-DOTA-ECL1i) is negative

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skincancer, who had (or have) any evidence of the other cancer present within the last 5years

  • Unable to tolerate up to 90 min of PET/CT imaging per imaging session.
