New nanoparticle imaging trial aims to light up hidden tumors

NCT ID NCT06977126

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This first-in-human trial is testing whether tiny particles called porphysomes can safely improve PET/CT imaging for women with advanced gynecological cancers. The study will enroll 24 participants to find the best dose and check for side effects. It is not a treatment, but a way to potentially see tumors more clearly.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
porphysome nanoparticles (a type of tiny particle that can be seen on PET/CT scans)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new way to see tumors more clearly in scans, helping doctors better understand where cancer has spread.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small trial (24 people) focused on safety and dosing, not on treating cancer. The nanoparticles may not work as hoped for imaging, and there could be unexpected side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients age ≥ 18 years. * Life expectancy of \>3 months. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2. * Histologically confirmed metastatic advanced gynecological cancer. All epithelial subtypes are permitted. Patients receiving standard of care oncological treatment (i.e. chemotherapy and/or radiation) will be included. * Patient is able to understand and is willing to sign a written informed consent document prior to registration/enrollment on to study. * Patient is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. * Patients of childbearing potential (as assessed by their local Investigator) and their partners who are sexually active must agree to the use of 2 highly effective forms of contraception throughout the period of study treatment and for 12 months after last dose of study drug. * Baseline corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation \< 470 milliseconds. * Within 8 days of the proposed enrollment patients must have adequate organ function. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient is a candidate for therapy with curative intent. * Patient has a contraindication to PET/CT imaging, including, but not limited to, phobias associated with imaging (e.g. claustrophobia) and those who cannot lie still in the supine position for at least 20 minutes. * Patients receiving nuclear medicine scans with other radiopharmaceutical agents (ex: 18F-FDG or other) during the study's exclusionary period will be excluded from the study. * Patients with known myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia. * Treatment with an investigational drug within 15 days prior to study registration. * Patients must not receive any other oncological treatments, including chemotherapy and/or radiation, within 2 weeks before starting study drug administration (and for 28 days after study drug administration). * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to agents used in study. * Patients with a known active COVID-19 infection at the time of registration/enrollment. * Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and in the judgment of the Investigator would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study. * Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring IV antibiotics, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, unstable cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Pregnant or breast-feeding women. * Unresolved toxicity \> CTCAE grade 1 from previous anti-cancer therapies, including radiotherapy, with exception. * Retinopathy ≥ grade 2. * Patients with porphyria. * Patients that have undergone a splenectomy.
