Key information

About this study

This will be a confirmatory, prospective, open-label, single-arm, multi-centre study in a Chinese patient population. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-TLX250 Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) imaging to non-invasively detect Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC). The multi-centre study will be conducted in mainland China in adult patients with Indeterminate Renal Masses (IRM), who are scheduled for partial or total nephrectomy as part of their standard of care.

Approximately 82 evaluable adult patients will be recruited from approximately 8 renal cancer care specialist centres with access to state-of-the-art PET/CT imaging in mainland China. The number of enrolled participants may be increased to ensure sufficient confidence in measuring sensitivity and specificity of 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT imaging.

The study involves a single administration of 37 MBq (±10%) of 89Zr-TLX250, containing a mass dose of 10 mg of girentuximab, in mainland Chinese participants (ZIRCON-CP). This is consistent with the confirmatory, prospective, multinational clinical trial ZIRCON (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03849118). This study consists of seven visits. Imaging will then be conducted 5±2 days post administration. The partial/total nephrectomy will then be performed at institutional discretion any time following the PET/CT imaging visit, but no later than 90 days post administration of 89Zr-TLX250. Histological tumour samples will be prepared and used for histological diagnosis of the renal mass (ccRCC or non-ccRCC) read by a central laboratory.

On Day 5±2 post study drug administration, an abdominal PET/CT imaging will be obtained. In patients, in which unexpected evidence for disseminated disease is observed, PET/CT imaging may be extended to complete whole body imaging(vertex of skull to toe) at the discretion of the investigator.

Image data analyses will be performed by a central imaging vendor.

For participants who were nephrectomised within 28 days post administration, the final study visit will be conducted on Day 42 (±7 days). For participants with nephrectomy between 28 and 90 days post administration, the final study visit will be performed 35 days (±7 days) after surgery.

Image data analyses will be performed by a central image core lab. Qualitative visual analysis (presence or absence of localised 89Zr-TLX250 uptake inside or in vicinity of renal lesion, as seen on contrast-enhanced CT or Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI]), will be used to assess test performance or 89Zr-TLX-250 PET/CT imaging to non-invasively detect ccRCC, using histological results from the central histological reference laboratory as standard of truth.

The duration of this study is expected to be about 12 months, with a follow-up of 4 months. The study duration for a single participant will be approximately between 4 - 6 months.

No interim analysis is planned for this study.

  • Exposure to murine or chimeric antibodies within the last 5 years.
  • Previous administration of any radionuclide within 10 half-lives of the same.
  • Serious non-malignant disease (e.g. psychiatric, infectious, autoimmune or metabolic), that may interfere with the objectives of the study or with the safety or compliance of the study subject, as judged by the investigator.
  • Mental impairment that may compromise the ability to give informed consent and comply with the requirements of the study.
  • Exposure to any experimental diagnostic or therapeutic drug within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) from the date of planned administration of 89Zr-TLX250.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Known hypersensitivity to girentuximab or desferoxamine (DFO).
  • Renal insufficiency with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≤ 45 mL/min/1.73 m².

Treatment and study plan

89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT

Drug

89Zr-TLX250, is a chimeric monoclonal antibody (INN name: girentuximab) with specificity for the CAIX (carbonic anhydrase 9) antigen, radiolabelled with the positron emitting radiometal zirconium- 89. Girentuximab has a CAS number of 916138-87-9. The chemical formula, without the 89Zr and the desferrioxamine, is C6460H1006N1718O2018S48 with a molecular mass of 146.5 kg/mol.

89Zr-TLX250 is formulated as a solution for IV administration in glass vials at the nominal dosage strength of 37 MBq (±10%) for single IV use. The mass dose of 89Zr-TLX250 to be used in this Phase 3 study will be 10 mg, labelled with 37 MBq (±10%) 89Zr per dose.

Other names: 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab, 89Zr-girentuximab, 89Zr-DFO-TFP-GTX, 89Zirconium-labelled girentuximab
