68Ga-BMV101 PET/CT in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Early Phase 1

• Conditions: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
• Interventions: Drug: 68Ga-BMV101

• Registration Number: NCT02485886
• Lead Sponsor: Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Brief Summary

Inflammation mediated by macrophage infiltration plays a vital role in a diverse range of physiological conditions. In particular, recent evidence suggests this type of macrophage response is important for the disease pathology of pulmonary fibrosis. Because cysteine cathepsins are proteases that are highly expressed in antigen presenting cells such as macrophages, they serve as promising biomarkers. Employing non-invasive imaging agents 68Ga-BMV101 that specifically recognize cysteine proteases in immune cells has the potential to not only aid early detection but also significantly aid efforts to monitor progression and patient response to therapy.

Detailed Description

For interests in clinical translation of 68Ga-BMV101, an open-label dynamic whole-body PET/CT study was designed to investigate safety and diagnostic performance of 68Ga-BMV101 in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A single dose of nearly 111 MBq 68Ga-BMV101 will be intravenously injected into healthy volunteers and patients with suspected IPF. Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess the PET/CT images. Changes of blood pressure, pulse, respiration, temperature, routine blood and urine tests, serum alanine aminotransferase, albumin, and creatinine, and any adverse events will be collected from the volunteers. Adverse events will also be observed in the patients.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: UNKNOWN
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 20

Inclusion Criteria

Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

• Males and females, ≥18 years old
• Characteristic clinical signs, symptoms and laboratory tests suggesting the diagnosis of IPF.
• The diagnosis of IPF is based on The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) criteria for diagnosing IPF. They rely on a combination of clinical, radiological, operative and histological findings, in addition to results of other laboratory tests.

Exclusion Criteria

• Females planning to bear a child recently or with childbearing potential
• Renal function: serum creatinine >3.0 mg/dL (270 μM/L)
• Liver function: any hepatic enzyme level more than 5 times upper limit of normal.
• Known severe allergy or hypersensitivity to IV radiographic contrast.
• Patients not able to enter the bore of the PET/CT scanner.
• Inability to lie still for the entire imaging time because of cough, pain, etc.
• Inability to complete the needed examinations due to severe claustrophobia, radiation phobia, etc.
• Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled and/or unstable other medical disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may significantly interfere with study compliance.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
68Ga-BMV101 injection and PET/CT scan	68Ga-BMV101	The patients were intravenously injected with 68Ga-BMV101 and underwent PET/CT scan 1 h and 2.5 h after that.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual and semiquantitative assessment of lesions	1 year	Visual analysis will be performed by consensus reading by at least 3 experienced nuclear medicine physician. The semiquantitative analysis will be performed by the same person for all the cases, and the standardized uptake values (SUVs) of lungs will be measured.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Blood pressure	24 hours	Blood pressure of patients will be measured at three time points: right before injection, after scanning, and 24 hours after treatment.
Temperature	24 hours	Temperature will be measured at three time points for each patients: right before injection, after scanning, and 24 hours after treatment.
Routine blood test	24 hours	Routine blood test of patients will be measured at two time points: right before injection and 24 hours after treatment.
Serum alanine aminotransferase	24 hours	Serum alanine aminotransferase of patients will be measured at two time points: right before injection and 24 hours after treatment.
Respiration frequency	24 hours	Respiration frequency will be measured at three time points for each patients: right before injection, after scanning, and 24 hours after treatment.
Serum creatinine	24 hours	Serum creatinine of patients will be measured at two time points: right before injection and 24 hours after treatment.
Adverse events collection	5 days	Adverse events within 5 days after the injection and scanning of patients and patients will be followed and assessed.
Pulse	24 hours	Pulse will be measured at three time points for each patients: right before injection, after scanning, and 24 hours after treatment.
Serum albumin	24 hours	Serum albumin of patients will be measured at two time points: right before injection and 24 hours after treatment.
Routine urine test	24 hours	Routine urine test of patients will be measured at two time points: right before injection and 24 hours after treatment.
