Background and study aims
Integrin αⅤβ3 is a receptor that is found on various types of tumor cell but not on (or very low on) normal cells. Therefore, it is becoming a valuable target for the diagnosis of tumors and monitoring the effects of treatment. Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) can specifically bind to the integrin αⅤβ3 receptor. A variety of radioactively labeled (radiolabeled) RGD-based peptides have been developed for detecting integrin avb3 by positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans. Among all the RGD radiotracers studied, 18F-Galacto-RGD and 18F-AH111585 have been well investigated and the results demonstrated that both radiotracers could be used to detect various types of tumors. Recently, new 99mTc-labeled RGD dimeric peptides have showed much higher binding to integrin avb3 and increased tumor uptake. 99mTc-3PRGD2 has been tested in lung cancer patients, appeared to be useful for diagnosis, and no side effects have been observed to date. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of 99mTc-3PRGD2 for evaluating the early response of lung cancer to treatment.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 30 to 70 with lung cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy and/or molecular targeted treatment for at least 3 cycles or 3 months without radiotherapy

What does the study involve?
The study involves three 99mTc-3PRGD2 SPECT/CT scans at the start of the study, after one cycle, and after three cycles of treatment, respectively. An early evaluation after one cycle of therapy is compared with a standard evaluation after three cycles, and the new method is compared with CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT scans for evaluation.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants receive free 99mTc-3PRGD2 SPECT/CT scans and detailed medical follow-up. Participants are exposed to radiation from the low-dose CT and radiotracers. Possible side effects to the tracer 99mTc-3PRGD2 may occur, although no side effects have been observed to date.

Where is the study run from?
Peking Union Medical College Hospital (China)

Scientific titleA multicenter clinical study of 99mTc-3PRGD2 SPECT/CT in an early response evaluation of lung cancer to chemotherapy and molecular-targeted therapy
Study objectivesA group of clinically diagnosed lung cancer patients by 99mTc-3PRGD2 SPECT/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT before treatment, treatment of early and late after the end of treatment or imaging to monitor tumor, treatment effect. According to PERICST standard in the evaluation of therapeutic effect.

The aim of this study is to compare 99mTc-3PRGD2 SPECT / CT with 18F-FDG PET/CT for response evaluation of lung cancer. The latter generally used “PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST)” for response evaluation
Ethics approval(s)Peking Union Medical College Hospital, 16/11/2010, ref: S336
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedLung cancer
InterventionSingle treatment arm will be used. Methodology: 99mTc-3PRGD2 SPECT/CT scans.
This is a diagnostic, single group assignment, open label efficacy study. Three 99mTc-3PRGD2 SPECT/CT scans will be performed at baseline, post one cycle, and post 3 cycles of treatment, respectively for each patient. 99mTc-3PRGD2 will be intravenously injected 40 minutes before each scan. The dose is 0.3 mCi/kg body weight (± 5%). Follow-ups will be performed every 3 months until the end of the study.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

1. Changes of 99mTc-3PRGD2 uptake after one cycle of therapy compared to that after three cycles
2. Determine if the early uptake changes of 99mTc-3PRGD2 after one cycle of therapy compared to the baseline can reflect that of three cycles later

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. Changes of 99mTc-3PRGD2 uptake compared to those of CT and/or PET/CT
2. Determine if the 99mTc-3PRGD2 evaluations either post one cycle or post three cycles of treatment is better than or comparable to those of CT according to the RECIST criteria and/or PET/CT evaluations using PERCIST criteria
