Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 47

Inclusion Criteria

1. Subjects with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic cancer for the following tumor types

   • Cancer types other than melanoma; subjects meeting the eligibility criteria as formulated in the MPDL3280A treatment study protocol (MPDL3280A-treatment-IST-UMCG) are eligible for part A or part B1.
   • Melanoma; subjects eligible to receive standard of care anti-PD1 therapy plus or minus ipilimumab, are eligible for part B2.

2. Tumor lesion(s) of which a histological biopsy can safely be obtained according to standard clinical care procedures.

3. Measurable disease, as defined by standard RECIST v1.1. Previously irradiated lesions should not be counted as target lesions.

4. Signed informed consent.

5. Age ≥18 at the time of signing informed consent.

6. Life expectancy ≥12 weeks.

7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1

8. Ability to comply with the protocol.

9. For female patients of childbearing potential and male patients with partners of childbearing potential, agreement (by patient and/or partner) to use a highly effective form(s) of contraception (i.e., one that results in a low failure rate [< 1% per year] when used consistently and correctly).

Exclusion Criteria

1. Potential subjects with cancer other than melanoma will be excluded from participation in this study if they meet exclusion criteria formulated in the MPDL3280A treatment study protocol (MPDL3280A-treatment-IST-UMCG).
2. Signs or symptoms of infection within 2 weeks prior to anti-CD8 imaging agent injection.
3. Prior immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, including but not limited to anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibodies.
4. History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins
5. Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of the anti-CD8 imaging agent, or that may affect the interpretation of the results or render the patient at high risk from complications.
6. Pregnant or lactating women.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Dose finding cohort	Anti-CD8 PET imaging agent	In part A of this imaging trial, a dose finding study will be performed to establish safety, to assess the appropriate protein dose for PET-scanning and to assess the appropriate PET scanning interval.
Feasibility cohort	Anti-CD8 PET imaging agent	The purpose of part B of the study is to analyze the PK of the anti-CD8 imaging agent in patients before and during treatment with checkpoint inhibitors.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Appropriate dosing of anti-CD8 imaging agent and PET imaging time points	2 years	Appropriate dosing and imaging time points of the anti-CD8 imaging agent will be determined based on measurements of standardized uptake value (SUV) of defined volumes of interest (VOIs) on the immunoPET scan images
Pharmacokinetics (PK) of anti-CD8 imaging agent	2 years	Description of PK of the anti-CD8 imaging agent by measuring standardized uptake value (SUV) on PET scans performed 0, 2, 4 and/or 7 days after tracer injection before and during MPDL3280A or PD-1 antibody immune checkpoint inhibitor plus or minus ipilimumab treatment.
Incidence of adverse events related to tracer administration as assessed by CTCAE v4.0	2 years	Safety assessment through summaries of adverse events, changes in laboratory test results (if evaluation is indicated), changes in vital signs, and exposure to ZED88082A/CED88004S. Adverse event data will be recorded and summarized according to NCI CTCAE v4.0.
Immunogenic potential of the anti-CD8 imaging agent by measuring incidence of anti-drug antibodies	2 years	Assessment of the immunogenic potential of the anti-CD8 imaging agent by measuring incidence of anti-drug antibodies during the study relative to the prevalence of ADAs at baseline and assessing their relationship to other outcomes measured.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Heterogeneity of tumor uptake of the anti-CD8 imaging agent	2 years	Heterogeneity of imaging tracer uptake will be evaluated by measuring standardized uptake value (SUV) in defined volumes of interest (VOIs) of tumor lesions on the immunoPETscan images
Correlation of anti-CD8 imaging agent normal tissue kinetics with blood kinetics	2 years	PK parameters will be derived from anti-CD8 imaging agent serum concentrations and will be summarized using descriptive statistics including but not limited to the number of patients, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum.
Dosimetry	2 years	Assessment of dosimetry will be performed by calculations of radioactivity in Bq or mSv of anti-CD8 imaging agent concentration in tumor target tissue, blood and other organs of interest with regards to injected dose (ID), derived from measurements of standardized uptake value (SUV) on immunoPET images and direct analysis of blood 89Zr-activity.
Correlation of normal organ uptake of the anti-CD8 imaging agent to (serious) adverse events (possibly) related to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment	2 years	Normal organ uptake of the anti-CD8 imaging agent as measured by SUVs on PET scan images will be analyzed on correlation to (serious) adverse events (possibly) related to ICI treatment, defined as all (S)AEs which are assessed as "possibly", "probably" or "definitely" related to ICI treatment.
Correlation of tumor uptake of the anti-CD8 imaging agent and immune cell CD8 expression	2 years	Results of immunohistochemical scoring of tumor and immune cell CD8 and other markers of lymphocytic infiltration in fresh biopsies will be described as a semi-quantitative score using the percentage of positive cells (continuous variable), intensity and pattern of staining (discrete variable). These IHC results will be compared with imaging tracer standardized uptake value (SUV) in defined volumes of interest (VOIs) of tumor lesions on the immunoPETscan images. Results of autoradiography will be described by measuring standardized uptake value (SUV) on the biopsy slides.
