64Cu-LLP2A for Imaging Multiple Myeloma
Study Details
Study Description
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.

Experimental: Cohort 1: Pilot 64Cu-LLP2A Imaging 16 adult individuals (6-8 patients with known MM; 6-10 healthy volunteers) All subjects who enter the study in Cohort 1 will be injected with up to 11 mCi of 64Cu-LLP2A and will undergo body imaging at least twice within 0-30 hrs following administration of 64Cu-LLP2A to study tracer biodistribution and calculate human dosimetry 6 subjects will also undergo dynamic study for 60 mins immediately after administration of 64Cu-LLP2A. |
Drug: 64Cu-LLP2A
-64Cu-LLP2A, will be manufactured following batch production record at the cyclotron GMP facility (Washington University School of Medicine GMP radiochemistry/cyclotron facility)
Device: PET/MR
-All PET imaging will be performed as PET/MR or PET/CT
Procedure: Blood samples for serum stability
-3 venous samples obtained from an IV site separate from the site of 64Cu-LLP2A injection (2 mL each) will be obtained at the following time points: Cohort 1: prior to injection, at completion of dynamic scanning in those who undergo dynamic imaging and at completion of one of the body imaging time points. In those who do not undergo dynamic imaging, prior to injection, and after completing body imaging at 2 of the 3 time points. Cohort 2: subjects will have samples drawn prior to injection, at completion of dynamic scanning, and at completion of body imaging.
Procedure: Blood samples for metabolite analysis
-Typically, 2 blood samples obtained from an IV site separate from the site of 64Cu-LLP2A injection (preferably 1 within the first 5 min and 1 at the completion of the first hour of imaging) will be obtained.
Procedure: Urine sample
-Cohort 1 only
Procedure: Electrocardiogram
-A standard 12-lead ECG will be obtained on all subjects at baseline (within 30 mins prior to injection of 64Cu-LLP2A), and at least 60 minutes post injection or prior to study discharge
Other Names:
Device: PET/CT

Experimental: Cohort 2: Quantitative 64Cu-LLP2A Imaging 20 patients with MM will be recruited Subjects who enter on study in Cohort 2 will undergo a 60-min dynamic imaging over the known site of disease (OR pelvis and lower lumbar spine, if no site of disease is known). Following a simple DIXON MRI or low dose CT scan for attenuation correction, subjects will be injected with a dose of up to11 mCi of 64Cu-LLP2A and a list mode dynamic imaging acquisition will begin for a total of 60 mins. Following the dynamic study, or at the optimal time point determined from cohort 1 imaging, after a simple DIXON or low dose CT scan for body (top of the head to below the knees) attenuation correction, emission scans (2-5 min per bed position) will be performed |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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 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 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
- 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
- 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)
- 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
