About this trial

The goal of this Phase 0 clinical trial is to evaluate safety and biodistribution of \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-APAC in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease / critical limb ischemia (PAOD/CLI) and healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What is the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile (PK: both systemic and local vascular injury site-specific PK) of \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-APAC? * What is the biodistribution and internal radiation dosimetry of the tracer dose of \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-APAC? * What is the binding and retention time of \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-APAC to arteries and atherosclerotic or microvascular lesions? Participants will receive a dose of the \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-APAC (IMP) and PET/CT imaging is performed on days 1, 3 and 7, and follow-up visit 7-14 days post IMP dosing.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Males and females aged 40-85 years.

PAOD/CLI patients Rutherford categories 1-4 and category 5 with Wlfl wound grade of 0 or 1.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >46 mL/min/1.73 m2 as per calculation of Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI).

CT angiography with contrast agent performed of within 3 months of the patients' first PET-scan as part of diagnostics of PAOD, with results available in the subject's medical records.

Disqualifiers

Acute limb-threatening ischemia (e.g., embolic disease).

An existing aneurysm that requires surgical intervention.

Medical history of, or condition known to be associated with impaired hemostasis, such as an increased intracranial bleeding risk e.g., previous history of intracranial hemorrhage, subarachnoidal bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke, or gastrointestinal or retroperitoneal bleeding, or any inherited or acquired bleeding disorder, such as von Willebrand disease or hemophilia.

Any cerebrovascular event (including transient ischemic attack, thrombotic or embolic stroke) within the past year.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • [89Zr]Zr-DFO-APAC

    Drug

    All participants will receive a single i.v. injection of \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-APAC 15 MBq (Megabecquerel).

  • PET/CT scan

    Radiation

    The IMP administration will be followed by whole-body PET/CT scanning (day 1), and repeated PET/CT scans on days 3 and 7.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (AE) (safety and tolerability)

Occurrence and severity of one or more treatment-emergent AEs from the time of i.v. administration of \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-APAC until the end of the follow-up period, and changes in plasma/serum clinical chemistry, hematology, coagulation variables, vital signs, ECG, and physical examination findings.

Time frame
Study duration (Up to 21 days)

Secondary outcomes

Other outcomes

1

Biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of [89Zr]Zr following administration of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-APAC

Dosimetry estimates and cumulated radioactivity exposure by source region and the entire body in the first three participants including analysis of radioactivity in venous blood.

Time frame
Day 1, day 3 and day 7 after dosing
