New scan could reveal how well immunotherapy is working
NCT ID NCT06534190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special imaging agent (89Zr-DF-Crefmirlimab) that helps PET scans show immune cells called CD8 T-cells inside tumors. About 30 adults with advanced solid tumors will receive this agent before and during standard immunotherapy (anti-PD-1). The goal is to see if the scan can track immune activity and predict treatment response, which could help doctors personalize cancer care.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing informed consent. 2. Patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic solid cancer types who, according to the opinion of the principal investigator, based on available clinical data, may benefit from anti-PD1 antibody therapy. 3. Disease progression following first-line therapy or any subsequent treatment line or no superior standard line of therapy available. 4. At least 1 lesion that is accessible per investigator's assessment and eligible for biopsy according to standard clinical care procedures. 5. Measurable disease, as defined by standard RECIST v1.1. Previously irradiated lesions should not be counted as target lesions except for lesions that have progressed after radiotherapy administered at least 3 months earlier. 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. 7. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks. 8. Adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined below: 1. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL 2. Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 x 109/L 3. Absolute lymphocyte count ≥0.75 x 109/L 4. Platelet count ≥75 x 109/L 5. Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated glomerular filtration rate \> 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. A 24-hour urine creatinine collection may substitute for the calculated creatinine clearance to meet eligibility criteria. 6. Adequate hepatic function: i. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN (≤3 x ULN if liver tumour involvement); Patients with Gilbert's syndrome do not need to meet total bilirubin requirements, provided their total bilirubin is unchanged from their baseline. Gilbert's syndrome must be documented appropriately as past medical history. ii. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN if liver tumour involvement) iii. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN if liver tumour involvement) iv. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN if liver or bone tumour involvement) 9. Signed informed consent. 10. Willingness and ability to comply with all protocol required procedures. 11. For female patients of childbearing potential and male patients with partners of childbearing potential, agreement (by patient and/or partner) to use a highly effective form(s) of contraception (i.e., one that results in a low failure rate (\< 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly)). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Treatment with any approved anti-cancer therapy, investigational agent or participation in another clinical trial with therapeutic intent within 28 days prior to 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab infusion and nivolumab or cetrelimab treatment. 2. Symptomatic, untreated brain metastasis, leptomeningeal disease, or spinal cord compression. Patients are eligible if central nervous system (CNS) metastases are adequately treated and neurologically stable for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment. 3. Prior ICI treatment, including but not limited to anti-PD1, anti-PD-L1 and anti-CTLA4 therapeutic antibodies. 4. Major surgical procedure other than for diagnosis within 28 days prior to 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab infusion or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the course of the study. 5. History of autoimmune disease, including but not limited to myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematous, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, vascular thrombosis associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis or glomerulonephritis. * Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone may be eligible for his study. * Patients with controlled type I diabetes mellitus on a stable dose of insulin regimen may be eligible for this study. 6. Treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medications (including but not limited to prednisone, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, and anti-tumour necrosis factor agents) within 4 weeks prior to 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab infusion. * Patients who have received acute, low-dose, systemic immunosuppressant medications (e.g. a one-time of dexamethasone for nausea) may be enrolled in the study after discussion with and approval by the sponsor. * The use of inhaled corticosteroids for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mineralocorticoids (e.g. fludrocortisone) for patients with orthostatic hypotension, and low-dose supplemental corticosteroids for adrenocortical insufficiency are allowed. 7. Prior allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or solid organ transplant. 8. Active infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, hepatitis C or tuberculosis infection; or diagnosis of immunodeficiency. * Patients will be tested for hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) at screening. * Patients with known HIV infection who have controlled infection (undetectable viral load (HIV ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR)) and CD4 count above 350 either spontaneously or on a stable antiviral regimen are permitted. For patients with controlled HIV infection, monitoring will be performed per local standards. * Patients with hepatitis B who have a controlled infection (serum HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) PCR that is below the limit of detection AND receiving anti-viral therapy for hepatitis B) are permitted. Patients with controlled infections must undergo periodic monitoring of HBV DNA. Patients must remain on anti-viral therapy for at least 6 months beyond the last dose of investigational study drug. * Patients who are HCV antibody positive who have controlled infection (undetectable HCV RNA by PCR either spontaneously or in response to a successful prior course of anti-HCV therapy) are permitted. * Patients positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if PCR is negative for HCV RNA. 9. Receipt of a live vaccine (including attenuated) within 30 days of planned start of study medication. 10. Evidence of an active infection that requires systemic antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab infusion. 11. At least 2 weeks recovered from COVID 19 infection, where this infection has to be documented in the case record form. 12. Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab, or that may affect the interpretation of the results or render the patient at high risk from complications. 13. Altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent. 14. Sponsor employee/member of the clinical site study team and/or his or her immediate family 15. Women with a positive serum chorionic gonadotropin HCG pregnancy test at the screening/baseline visit. Breastfeeding women are also excluded. 16. Women of childbearing potential\* and sexually active men who are unwilling to practice highly effective contraception prior to the first dose of study therapy, during the study, and for at least 6 months after the last dose. Highly effective contraceptive measures include: * stable use of combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception (oral, intravaginal, transdermal) or progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable, implantable) associated with inhibition of ovulation initiated 2 or more menstrual cycles prior to screening * intrauterine device (IUD); intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) * bilateral tubal ligation * vasectomized partner (provided that the male vasectomized partner is the sole sexual partner of the women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) study participant and that the vasectomized partner has obtained medical assessment of surgical success for the procedure) * and/or sexual abstinence. 17. Contraindications for MRI scan 18. Patients who have any splenic disorders, or had splenectomy, that could compromise protocol objectives
