Clinical trials

This is a single site, prospective pilot study to determine the feasibility and safety of the administration of HP 13C bicarbonate in 10 patients with prostate cancer to determine potential hydrogen (pH) values in surrounding tissue. The proposed study will evaluate pre-surgical participants with histologically confirmed localized prostate cancer who receive infusion of hyperpolarized 13C injection prior to MR imaging with endorectal coil.

This is a single-center, pilot, PET-imaging study of the novel radiotracer 89Zirconium-89 DFO conjugated to the YS5 monoclonal antibody (\[89Zr\]DFO-YS5) in participants with nerve sheath tumor, bladder cancer, or advanced solid tumor neoplasms.

This phase I trial tests the safety of \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and how well it works to detect CD46 positive cancer cells in patients with multiple myeloma. \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 is an imaging agent called a radiopharmaceutical tracer. A radiopharmaceutical tracer uses a small amount of radioactive material that is injected into a vein to help image different areas of the body. \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 targets a specialized protein called CD46, which is in certain multiple myeloma cancer cells, and \[89Zr\]DFO-YS5 PET scans may improve detection of multiple myeloma.

This is a first-in-human, pilot study of the novel PET-imaging radiotracer \[89Zr\]DFO-starPEG. The study is designed to obtain preliminary data to support future development of this agent as an imaging surrogate to visualize enhanced permeability and retention (EPR)-mediated tracer uptake before administration of EPR-based nanomedicines.
