Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients with histopathologically diagnosed bladder cancer or urothelial carcinoma already being staged with Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT or those with known FDG positive metastatic disease, who are willing to undergo an additional 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT for the staging and detection of urothelial carcinoma and bladder cancer.

89Zr-TLX250, a chimeric monoclonal antibody (INN name: girentuximab (GTX), synonyms: cG250, TLX250) with specificity for the CAIX (carbonic anhydrase 9) antigen, radiolabelled with the positron emitting radio-metal zirconium-89 via a NSuc-DFO-TFP-ester (DFO-TFP), linked to lysine residues of GTX, to yield 89Zr-DFO-TFP-GTX.

20 patients (10 patients with known metastatic urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer and 10 patients who require primary staging of localized urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer) will receive a single slow intravenous injection of 37 mBq (± 10%) 89Zr-TLX250, containing a mass dose of 10 mg of girentuximab over 3 minutes, followed by a diagnostic PET/CT scan on day 5 ± 2 days. Patients will be followed up at day 14 of post diagnostic 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT scan.

The 89Zr-TLX250 IV administration will be administered by a trained nuclear medicine physician or a nuclear medicine technician (guided by a nuclear medicine physician).


The whole body 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT will be acquired over a maximum of 45 minutes in 4 bed positions at a single time point on Day 5 ± 2 post administration of 89Zr-TLX250 using static image acquisition and low dose CT without contrast agent.

The whole body FDG PET/CT scan will be acquired over a maximum of 45 minutes in 4 bed positions at screening (a single time point between 28 days and 1 day before the administration of 89Zr-TLX250 on Day 0) in line with routine site protocols. The FDG PET/CT scan will be performed under Standard of Care,

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 326323 0
The feasibility of using 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT as a diagnostic and staging tool in urothelial carcinoma and bladder cancer will be defined by the ability to recruit to the target sample size within the study duration. This reflects a willingness of clinicians to refer patients for this study and a willingness of patients to undergo 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT as for diagnosis or staging.

To assess this outcome, all study records such as electronic Case Report Form data, imaging results, histopathology results, diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, accuracy), and safety evaluation (standard laboratory, physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram, vital signs, and adverse events) will be monitored and audited.
Timepoint [1] 326323 0
Upon study completion of 18 months
Secondary outcome [1] 391063 0
Safety and tolerability:
• Baseline safety evaluations will be made within 28 days prior to 89Zr-TLX250 administration. This would include vital signs, standard laboratory (full blood count, renal function, basic electrolytes and liver function test), 12-lead ECG and concomitant medication recording.
• Vital signs will be recorded before and after administration of 89Zr-TLX250. 12-lead ECG and adverse event recording will be performed post administration.
• Safety evaluations will also be made at follow-up phone consult post PET/CT 14 days
Timepoint [1] 391063 0
Participant baseline safety outcome will be assessed within 28 days prior to 89Zr-TLX250 administration.

After post-intervention administration, outcome will be assessed daily for 14 days post intervention.
Secondary outcome [2] 391064 0
Effectiveness of 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT vs FDG PET/CT in detecting metastatic or localized urothelial carcinoma and bladder cancer

- 89Zr-TLX250 tumour uptake will be qualitatively assessed, considering whether or not 89Zr-TLX250 binding is seen in lymph nodes or distant visceral organs.
Timepoint [2] 391064 0
This outcome will be assessed post analysis of histopathology collection after surgery.

Specifically, this outcome will be assessed after FDG PET./CT scan at screening, following 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT scan (post intervention administration), and after follow-up of 14 days.
Secondary outcome [3] 391065 0
Sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT vs FDG PET/CT in detecting lymph node metastases in urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer.

PET/CT results will be correlated with pelvic lymphadenectomy histopathological findings in those undergoing radical cystectomy. Participants who are undergoing radical cystectomy are among the participants recruited for this study.
Timepoint [3] 391065 0
This timepoint is covered from screening (within 28 days of selection) to follow-up at Day 14 follow-up, or in those participants proceeding with surgery any time after 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT imaging.

This outcome involves FDG imaging from screening through to the analysis of pelvic lymphadenectomy histopathological findings post surgery.

Summary
Brief summary
This trial aims to evaluate the feasibility of using 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT in the detection of localized and metastatic urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this trial if you are aged 18, able to provide informed consent, and histologically diagnosed with bladder cancer or urothelial carcinoma or known metastatic urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer.

Study details
Participants will be screened through FDG PET/CT scan and baseline procedures (physical examination, general blood test, vital signs, medical and surgical history, and previous medications), within 28 days of selection to day 0). At day 0, participants will receive an injection of 89Zr-TLX250, followed by a diagnostic PET/CT scan on day 5 ± 2 days after 89Zr-TLX250 administration.

Participants will be followed up at day 14 post-scan for a telephone consult regarding safety evaluation.

It is hoped that information from this trial will help evaluate the effectiveness of 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT in detecting primary bladder cancer and upper tract urothelial carcinoma.
