Trial overview
The trial titled CD8 PET imaging study before and after CAR T-cell therapy is studying 89ZR-CED88004S in people with large B-cell lymphoma.[1] It is an interventional study, which means the research team gives the tracer and then measures the results on imaging scans.[1]
The study is authorised and plans to enroll 27 people.[1] The source data describes 89ZR-CED88004S as part of a PET imaging approach used before and after CAR T-cell therapy.[1]
Who can participate
The target population in this trial is people with large B-cell lymphoma, a cancer of B cells, which are a type of white blood cell.[1] The source data does not list more detailed entry rules, such as age limits or prior treatments.[1]
The study focuses on patients before and after CAR T-cell therapy, so the imaging is meant to follow changes over time in the same disease setting.[1]
What is being measured
The main outcome is the whole-body biodistribution of the tracer, which means how the tracer spreads through normal tissues and tumor lesions across the body.[1] The study also measures heterogeneity, meaning whether the tracer signal is the same or different in different areas.[1]
Another key measure is standardized uptake value (SUV) on the PET scan 2 days after injection.[1] SUV is a number used to show how much tracer is taken up by a tissue or lesion.[1]
The brief summary says the study will correlate, or compare, the pretreatment CD8+ T-cell pattern with CD8+ CAR T-cell tumor invasion, as shown by the intensity of PET-positive lesions.[1]
Study design and phase
This is a Phase 4 trial.[1] Phase 4 studies are generally used to learn more about a test or treatment in a broader clinical setting after it is already being used.[1]
The intervention listed is 89ZR-CED88004S given as a 10 mg intravenous bolus injection or IV infusion.[1] The source data does not provide further details about the full scan schedule beyond the PET scan 2 days after injection.[1]
Why this study matters
This trial is trying to see whether PET imaging with 89ZR-CED88004S can show where CD8+ T-cells are located before treatment and how they change after CAR T-cell therapy.[1] That may help researchers understand how immune cells move into tumors during treatment.[1]
For patients, the important point is that this study is not mainly about treating the cancer directly.[1] It is about using imaging to learn more about the immune response in large B-cell lymphoma.[1]
