Imaging of Solid Tumors Using 18F-TRX

What this study is about

This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of 18F-TRX in detecting tumors (cancer) patients with solid tumors. 18F-TRX is an imaging tracer that is used to visualize tumors using a PET scan. It specifically targets and detects labile (unstable) iron levels within tissues, including tumors.

Primary outcome measures

Proportion of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events

Time frame: Up to 7 days

The proportion of participants with any treatment-emergent adverse events will be reported by grade and frequency per the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0. All participants who receive the radiotracer injection will be evaluable.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Advanced solid tumor malignancy in one of the following cohorts:
  • Cohort 1 (n = 6): Any solid tumor malignancy with at least 3 metastatic lesions on conventional imaging
  • Cohort 2 (n = 50):
  • WHO grade 3 or 4 glioma - patients with known (by integrated molecular and histopathologic diagnosis) or presumed (by imaging; e.g., enhancing necrotic and/or hypervascular intrinsic brain tumor) high grade (WHO grade 3 or 4) glioma (n = 10), Locally advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma with at least three metastatic lesions on conventional imaging (n = 10).
  • Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with at least one metastatic lesion on conventional imaging including cross-sectional imaging of the chest, abdomen and pelvis and whole body bone scan or prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scan (n = 30).
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Negative serum or urine pregnancy test (women of childbearing potential only) within 72 hours of baseline procedures.
  • Absolute neutrophil count \> 1.5 x 10\^6/L.
  • Platelets \> 75,000 x 10\^6/L.
  • Hemoglobin \> 8 g/dL.
  • Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal.
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)(serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)) \< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (\< 5 x upper limit of normal in patients with liver metastases on conventional imaging).
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)(serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)) \< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (\< 5 x upper limit of normal in patients with liver metastases on conventional imaging).
  • Creatinine clearance \> 50 ml/min, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation.

Exclusion criteria

  • Individuals with any condition or social circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, would impair the participant's ability to comply with study procedures.
  • Individuals receiving strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4.
  • Uncontrolled active infection or other medical condition that would preclude safe participation in the study as judged by the Investigator.
  • Individuals who are pregnant.
  • Individuals of childbearing potential (defined below) must agree to undergo a urine pregnancy test prior to participating in the study scans. Pregnant individuals are excluded because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse effects in the unborn child secondary to administration of 18F-TRX to the study participant.
  • A female is considered to not be of childbearing potential (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice), if the participant meets either of the following two criteria: (1) has reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause); or (2) has undergone surgical sterilization (i.e., hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy for removal of uterus and/or ovaries).
  • Individuals who are breastfeeding/chestfeeding.
  • Breastfeeding/chestfeeding individuals are excluded because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse effects in the unborn/nursing child secondary to administration of 18F-TRX to the study participant.
  • Breastfeeding/chestfeeding should be discontinued before administration of 18F-TRX.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
