Brief Summary

The investigators are performing a trial with goals to demonstrate the feasibility of imaging multiple myeloma (MM) patients with 64Cu-LLP2A-positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR). The investigators suggest that 64Cu-LLP2A will allow for an accurate molecular imaging of MM lesions, which will have an important impact on early stage disease detection and in the long term on the initiation and choice of therapy in these patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility of imaging MM patients with 64Cu-LLP2A-PET/MR as measured by the number of participants who experience an adverse event related to 64Cu-LLP2A	Through 48 hours after last administration of 64Cu-LLP2A (estimated to be at most 4 days)	-The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
Feasibility of imaging MM patients with 64Cu-LLP2A-PET/MR as measured by average organ activity concentration of 64Cu-LLP2A	Up to 30 hours after imaging	-Average organ activity concentration will be measured and decay corrected by utilizing regions of interest (ROIs) drawn around all organs visible on 64Cu-LLP2A images. Activity organ residence times will be calculated by numerical or analytical integration of the time-activity curves. Uptake/clearance functional fits of mono or bi-exponential functions will be performed and analytical integration, accounted for physical delay, will be performed. The calculated residence times will be used with the program OLINDA/EXM for 64Cu and using the adult human (male/femal) model to calculate the individual organ radiation dose, the whole-body dose, and the effective dose
Feasibility of imaging MM patients with 64Cu-LLP2A-PET/MR as measured by the optimal image time after injection of 64Cu-LLP2A	Up to 30 hours after imaging	-The optimal imaging time after injection yields the best image quality and tumor-to-non-tumor ratio for visual and quantitative analysis of the lesions
Feasibility of imaging MM patients with 64Cu-LLP2A-PET/MR as measured by image quality of 64Cu-LLP2A-PET/MR images	Up to 30 hours after imaging	* Overall PET image quality will be graded visually (using 4-point scale with 1 being the worst and poor quality, not acceptable for diagnostic interpretation and 4 being good image quality, similar to routine clinical studies).; * The images will be assessed by independent observers (a nuclear medicine expert in evaluating PET images using novel radiotracers, and a MR radiologist expert in evaluating MR images; * The images will then be correlated to MRI (and biopsy if available) to assess whether the lesions identified on 64Cu-LLP2A correspond to myeloma lesions
Feasibility of imaging MM patients with 64Cu-LLP2A-PET/MR as measured by lesion detection of 64Cu-LLP2A-PET/MR images	Up to 30 hours after imaging	-Lesion detection is measured by lesion uptake in comparison with the surrounding tissue

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Comparision of tumor burden (SUVmax) of 64Cu-LLP2A to clinical measurement of tumor burden as measured by the plasma cell fraction within the bone marrow	Up to 30 hours after imaging	* Hierarchical models will be used to estimate the correlation of SUVmax with M-protein expression; * Variance components models will be fit to identify component (proportion) of total variance
Comparison of tumor burden (SUVmax) of 64Cu-LLP2A to clinical tumor measurement of tumor burden as measured by M-protein of myeloma	Up to 30 hours after imaging	SUVmax is a mathematical measurement of tumor burden seen on images and calculated by the following equation SUVmax= r / (a'/w) where r= radioactivity concentration in tumor (kBq/ml) as measured by the PET scanner within a defined region of interest, a'=the decay corrected amount of injected 64Cu-LLP2A and w= weight of the patient in grams When PET imaging shows uptake of 64Cyu-LLP2A in site(s) of known tumor the SUVmax will be compared to clinical measurement of tumor burden as seen by the laboratory values for M-protein (lab measurement for myeloma gamma globulin which is increased in multiple myleom due to an abnormal monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells)
Comparison of tumor burden (SUVmax) of 64Cu-LLP2A to clinical stage	Up to 30 hours after imaging	-SUVmax is a mathematical measurement of tumor burden seen on images and calculated by the following equation SUVmax= r / (a'/w) where r= radioactivity concentration in tumor (kBq/ml) as measured by the PET scanner within a defined region of interest, a'=the decay corrected amount of injected 64Cu-LLP2A and w= weight of the patient in grams When PET imaging shows uptake of 64Cyu-LLP2A in site(s) of known tumor the SUVmax will be compared to overall clinical stage as a way to compare accuracy of imaging to known clinical stage
