About this trial

This is an exploratory clinical study of copper-64 \[Cu-64\]-labeled granzyme B (GzmB)-targeted compounds for PET/CT imaging. The goal is to determine how GzmB-Targeted \[Cu-64\]-labeled compounds are distributed in the body by assessing PET/CT images and blood samples, and to assess the safety profile after a single intravenous dose.

Up to 6 healthy volunteers (3 female, 3 male) will receive one injection of a GzmB-targeted \[Cu-64\]-labeled compound, then undergo multiple whole-body PET/CT scans, blood and urine tests over about 24 hours, and a follow-up phone call around Day 7. Up to 2 GzmB-Targeted \[Cu-64\]-labeled compounds may be assessed (i.e. maximum of 12 healthy volunteers in total in the study).

Researchers will look at the blood activity of GzmB-Targeted \[Cu-64\]-labeled compound and the organ distribution and movement of the product in the body. They will also evaluate any changes in physical examination assessments, vital signs, ECG, and clinical laboratory measurements from pre-administration to post-administration.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult male or female participants 18-60 years of age judged to be in good health by the Investigator

No clinically significant laboratory abnormalities; all tests of liver and kidney function within normal limits

Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and this protocol

Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants who are fertile and have female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate birth control throughout the study to the conclusion of follow-up.

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Determine the maximum concentration (Cmax) of radiation (Pharmacokinetics) in the blood after a single dose of the GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound

Blood samples will be collected Pre-dose, immediately post-dose, 45 minutes, 1 \& 4 hours, \& 24 hours post dose. Radiation (PK) to be measured by gamma counter (KBq/mL).

Time frame
24 hour period post injection.
2

Determine the time to maximum concentration (Tmax) in the blood after a single dose of the GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound

Blood samples will be collected Pre-dose, immediately post-dose, 45 minutes, 1 \& 4 hours, \& 24 hours post dose. Time to maximum concentration to be measured in hours (h).

Time frame
24 hour period post injection
3

Determine the area under the curve (AUC) in blood after a single injection of the GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound

Blood samples will be collected Pre-dose, immediately post-dose, 45 minutes, 1 \& 4 hours, \& 24 hours post dose. AUC to be calculated by kilobecquerel x hours/milliliter (KBq x h/mL)

Time frame
24 hour period post injection.
4

Determine the elimination half-life in the blood post a single injection of the GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound

Blood samples will be collected Pre-dose, immediately post-dose, 45 minutes, 1 \& 4 hours, \& 24 hours post dose. Elimination to be measured by time to half of the product being excreted from the blood (as measured by gamma counter) in hours (h)

Time frame
24 hour period post injection

Secondary outcomes

1

Evaluate the radiation absorbed dose estimates for organs for a single dose of the GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound

Imaging timepoints will be collected at 20 minutes post dose, 1 \& 4 hours, and 24 hours post dose. PET/CT will be used to assess the whole body effective dose as measured by mGy/MBq.

Time frame
24 hour period post injection
2

Evaluate the whole body effective dose estimated for a single dose of the GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound

Imaging timepoints will be collected at 20 minutes post dose, 1 \& 4 hours, and 24 hours post dose. PET/CT will be used to assess the whole body effective dose as measured by mSv/MBq.

Time frame
24 hour period post injection
3

Examine whole-body excretion of a single dose of the GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64] labeled compound

Urine samples will be evaluated for radioactivity levels of GzmB-Targeted \[Cu-64\]-labeled compound. Samples will be measured by gamma counter to evaluate the amount of radiation excreted in each interval Ae(t) (kBq)

Time frame
Samples will be taken continuously starting immediately post-dose through 24 hours post injection
4

Determine the total cumulative excretion over time in the urine (mL/min) for the GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound

Samples will be taken continuously starting immediately post-dose through 24 hours post injection. Includes all quantified radioactivity as measured by gamma counter in urine up to the least measured timepoint.

Time frame
A 24 hour period post injection
