89Zr-olaratumab Dosimetry in Participants With PDGFR Alpha Positive Solid Tumours and Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) is a cancer of soft tissues that often expresses Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR)α, a potential therapeutic target. PDGFRα is also found in other advanced solid tumours.

Olaratumab, a PDGFRα-targeted antibody, may be used to deliver radioactive isotopes for imaging or therapy. This first-in-human study will evaluate zirconium-89-labelled olaratumab (⁸⁹Zr-TLX300-CDx) for imaging in patients with STS, selected PDGFRα-positive solid tumours and identification of patients that may benefit from future treatments.

About this study

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) is expressed in soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and other solid tumours, where it may serve as a therapeutic target. Olaratumab is a PDGFRα-targeted antibody with potential to act as a targeting moiety for both imaging and therapeutic radioisotopes. Its favourable safety profile and ability to bind and be internalised by PDGFRα-expressing tumour cells make it a promising radionuclide targeting agent. ⁸⁹Zr-TLX300-CDx is being developed for PDGFRα PET imaging in STS and selected PDGFRα-positive solid tumours. The aim of this study is to demonstrate tumour targeting of ⁸⁹Zr-TLX300-CDx and assess its safety and radiation dosimetry, to support future development of olaratumab as a radiopharmaceutical.

  • At least one mass of > 2cm in largest diameter seen on standard care imaging (CT or MRI) or at least one lesion detected positive via FDG-PET.
  • Participants must have consented to provide prior/archival FFPE tumour tissue or biopsy/resected tissues collected up to 30 days after visit 2 (89Zr-TLX300-CDx administration) - please refer to the Laboratory manual for description of tissue requirements.

It is preference that biopsies have been collected within 3 months of trial participation (but not mandatory).
