About this trial
Phase 1, monocentric, open labeled, no profit "Microdose" trial. A single microdose of the new \[68Ga\]Ga-R54 PET radiopharmaceutical directed against CXCR4 will be injected into patients with advanced solid tumor or multiple myeloma to evaluate the binding.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients > 18 years
Patients with histological diagnosis of solid neoplasm (breast, lung, colon, ovary, pancreas) in advanced stages or multiple myeloma evaluated by PET/CT with [18F]FDG carried out in the 3 months prior to enrollment. The neoplasm must express the CXCR4 receptor by immunohistochemistry
Patients with ECOG performance status 0-2, able to undergo the scheduled diagnostic procedure (PET/CT with [68Ga]Ga-R54).
Patients with alkaline phosphatase (AP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase <3 x upper limit of reference range and total bilirubin <2.0 mg/dL
Disqualifiers
Presence of active infections (e.g. requiring antibiotic therapy) or other serious concomitant illness, which, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the study
Declared chronic active hepatitis (hepatitis B / C)
Declared active autoimmune diseases
Recovery from major trauma including surgery within 4 weeks of study enrollment

Treatments tested in this trial
[68Ga]Ga-R54 PET/CT
DrugA single intravenous microdose (≤100 μg) of the CXCR4-targeting radiopharmaceutical \[68Ga\]Ga-R54 is administered, followed by whole-body PET/CT imaging. Serial blood samples are collected up to 4 hours post-injection to assess pharmacokinetics. Imaging is performed according to institutional standards to evaluate in vivo CXCR4 expression in tumor lesions.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Quantitative analysis of the uptake (pharmacodynamics) of [68Ga]Ga-R54 in the neoplastic lesion by measuring the "maximum standardized uptake value" (SUVmax).
Pharmacokinetics of the PET radiopharmaceutical [68Ga]Ga-R54 through measurement of radioactivity in blood at the gamma counter (%ID/g).
Secondary outcomes
Evaluation of the dosimetric parameters for the tumor and for healthy organs by determining the absorbed dose per unit of activity administered (mGy/MBq).
SUVmax correlation of the radiopharmaceutical [68Ga]Ga-R54 and CXCR4 expression assessed by immunohistochemistry in the tumor and microenvironment.
