Study Summary

This is a multi-arm prospective trial that evaluates the ability of a novel imaging radiolabeled agents to detect metastatic cancer in participants with solid tumors using a gallium 68 (68Ga-) or copper 64 (64Cu-) FAP-2286 tracer. FAP-2286 is a peptidomimetic molecule that that binds to Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP). FAP is a transmembrane protein expressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts, and has been shown to be present on a number of solid tumors.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age >= 18 years.

  2. Histopathologically confirmed solid tumors in one of the following cohorts: a. Cohort 1 (n=11): measurable disease is not required for this cohort. i. Agnostic to tumor type. b. Cohort 2 (n=95): Metastatic disease present on conventional imaging defined ashaving RECIST 1.1 measurable disease or multiple bone metastases. Note: Presence ofabsence of metastatic disease for eligibility determination will be assessed byreviewing medical records. Screening imaging will not be conducted for this study. i. Pathologically confirmed breast cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, sarcoma,castrate-resistant prostate cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, or other cancertype. c. Cohort 3 (n=85): No evidence of metastatic disease as defined as the absence ofRECIST 1.1 measurable disease or bone metastases. Note: Presence of absence ofmetastatic disease for eligibility determination will be assessed by reviewingmedical records. Screening imaging will not be conducted for this study. i. Participants can be imaged at initial staging with what is judged by the treatingphysician to be high risk disease and where the presence of metastatic disease wouldgreatly impact treatment planning and prognosis. Participants may also be imagedafter therapy (surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy) if in the determinationof the treating physician or investigator there is a high risk of disease recurrencethat would also impact treatment plan and/or prognosis. ii. Pathologically confirmed head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, or other cancertype.

  3. Ability to understand a written informed consent document, and the willingness tosign it.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Unlikely to comply with protocol procedures, restrictions and requirements andjudged by the Investigator to be unsuitable for participation.

  2. Known pregnancy.

Study Description

Initially the investigator(s) will focus on imaging breast, pancreas, sarcoma, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, and head and neck cancer.

STUDY AIMS

  1. Determine the dosimetry for gallium-68 labelled (68Ga-) and 64Cu- FAP-2286.

  2. Evaluate the uptake and retention of radiotracer in a variety of solid tumors with FAP-2286.

  3. Evaluate the ability of FAP-2286 to detect metastatic disease.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

  1. All cohorts: Safety of 68Ga- and 64Cu-FAP-2286.

  2. Cohort 1a: determine the organ dosimetry of 68Ga-FAP-2286.

  3. Cohort 1b: determine the organ dosimetry of 64Cu-FAP-2286.

  4. Cohort 2: To assess the feasibility of detecting tumor uptake using FAP-2286.

  5. Cohort 3: To determine the feasibility of detecting metastatic disease using FAP-2286.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES

  1. To detect the sensitivity of FAP-2286 PET compared to conventional imaging for the detection of metastatic disease, and when available sensitivity compared to Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET (FDG-PET).

  2. Correlation of FAP-2286 uptake with FAP expression determined by immunohistochemistry.

  3. Compare biodistribution of 68Ga-FAP-2286 and 64Cu-FAP-2286 in normal organs and blood pool based on renal function.

  4. Determine impact of administered dose of FAP-2286 on image quality.

  5. Compare the feasibility of detecting tumor uptake using 68Ga-FAP-2286 and 64Cu-FAP-2286

A repeat radiolabeled FAP-2286 PET may be obtained after initiation of subsequent treatment in order to evaluate changes in PET uptake due to treatment effect. Participants will be followed through the day of the last injection of radiolabeled FAP-2286 for evaluation of adverse events.
