This Phase I, single-institution, open-label study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and diagnostic performance of [18F]NOTA-ABY030 PET/CT in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who present with indeterminate lesions on standard imaging. The investigational agent is a radiolabeled anti-EGFR affibody designed for rapid clearance and improved tumor-to-background contrast. All participants will receive a 50 mg cetuximab loading dose followed by a bolus of [18F]NOTA-ABY030, with PET/CT imaging performed at defined intervals to assess biodistribution and lesion uptake. The primary objective is to determine safety and tolerability; secondary objectives include radiation dosimetry and comparison of sensitivity and specificity to conventional imaging modalities (MRI, CT, and [18F]FDG-PET/CT). This approach aims to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce unnecessary biopsies, and streamline treatment decisions for patients with HNSCC.

Given IV
Given Bolus Injection
Undergo PET/CT
Time frame: From infusion to 7 days post-infusion
As determined by the number of adverse events (AEs) that are possibly or probably related to the study drug within 24 hours after infusion. Dose limiting toxicities will be defined as an AE grade >2 that is clinically significant and attributable to the study drug.
Time frame: From infusion to 7 days post-infusion
The dosimetry for [18F]NOTA-ABY-030 will be determined to be the absorbed dose, organ specific uptake, critical organs, and effective dose for this first-in-human radiopharmaceutical.
Time frame: From infusion to 7 days post-infusion
The specificity and sensitivity of [18F]NOTA-ABY-030 will be compared to the specificity and sensitivity of standard of care imaging obtained (MRI, CT, and/or [18F]FDG PET/CT) for identification of metastatic or primary lesion.
Time frame: From day of infusion to 36 months post-infusion
The total number of HNSCC accurately detected by [18F]NOTA-ABY-030 compared to the number of positive disease during the 36 ± 6-month follow-up period (gold standard).
