PET/CT Imaging of GRPR Expression in Various Tumors

This open-label imaging study will evaluate [⁶⁸Ga]-LY4257529 PET/CT, a gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR)-targeted radiopharmaceutical, in patients with cancers known or suspected to express GRPR. Up to 60 participants will be enrolled in two cohorts: 30 patients with breast cancer and 30 patients with other selected malignancies, including prostate, ovarian, pancreatic, small-cell lung, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and other tumors with documented GRPR expression.

Inclusion criteria

Age 18 years or older Able to understand and provide written informed consent

Diagnosis of a breast cancer or other tumor known or suspected to express GRPR, including:

ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer Invasive lobular breast cancer Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Small-cell lung cancer Ovarian cancer Prostate cancer with biochemical recurrence and a negative PSMA PET/CT Metastatic pancreatic cancer after pancreatic surgery Other tumor with GRPR expression demonstrated on histopathology ECOG performance status 0-3 Under the care of a referring physician Able to tolerate PET/CT imaging, including lying supine for up to 30 minutes with arms above the head and intravenous cannulation

Exclusion criteria

Tumor type known in the literature not to express GRPR, unless patient-specific tissue demonstrates GRPR expression Medically unstable condition, including acute cardiac or respiratory distress or hypotension Weight exceeding PET/CT table limit of 200 kg or inability to fit within the 70-cm PET/CT bore Unmanageable claustrophobia Known allergic or hypersensitivity reaction to a prior GRPR-targeting radioligand such as ⁶⁸Ga-RM2 or bombesin analogues Pregnancy Lactation For individuals of childbearing potential, inability to document a negative pregnancy test before tracer administration

Treatment and study plan

GRPR PET/CT

Diagnostic Test

[⁶⁸Ga]-LY4257529 is an investigational gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR)-targeted PET radiopharmaceutical. Participants will receive approximately 170 MBq ±20% (4.6 mCi ±20%) intravenously. PET/CT imaging will begin approximately 50-70 minutes after administration to evaluate GRPR-targeted tumor uptake and distribution.

Primary outcomes

  1. Per-Patient GRPR PET/CT Detection Rate

    Time frame: After the PET/CT imaging is completed

    Proportion of participants with at least one GRPR-positive lesion on [⁶⁸Ga]-LY4257529 PET/CT. Detection rate will be calculated as the number of participants with at least one GRPR-positive lesion divided by the total number of participants in the relevant cancer cohort.
