What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 PET scanOther

    Patients will undergo [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 PET imaging twice; the first [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 PET scan will be performed at baseline, before starting therapy. The second [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 PET scan will be performed after 2 weeks of treatment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of adverse events related to [18F]-AlF-RESCA-IL2 administration as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    Safety assessment through summaries of adverse events, changes in laboratory test results (if evaluation is indicated) and changes in vital signs. Adverse event data will be recorded and summarized according to NCI CTCAE v5.0

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Non-displaceable binding potential (BPND)

    To evaluate the pharmacokinetic behaviour of 18F-AIF-RESCA-IL2 through activity in venous blood samples, dynamic imaging, and pharmacokinetic modeling.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Total volume of distribution (VT) of the tracer in the tumour

    To evaluate the pharmacokinetic behaviour of 18F-AIF-RESCA-IL2 through activity in venous blood samples, dynamic imaging, and pharmacokinetic modeling.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Biodistribution of [18F]-AlF-RESCA-IL2

    Evaluation of [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 biodistribution in cancer patients on the PET images by measuring standardized uptake values in tumours, healthy tissues and organs.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation of 18F-AlF-RESCA-IL2 uptake in tumours, with T cell infiltration in tumour biopsy samples, as determined by IHC.

    Results of immunohistochemical (IHC) scoring of immune cell IL-2R expression will be described as a semi-quantitative score using the percentage of positive cells (continuous variable), intensity and pattern of staining (discrete variable). These IHC results will be compared with imaging tracer standardized uptake value (SUV) in defined volumes of interest (VOIs) of tumor lesions on the PET scan images.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Correlation of 18F-AlF-RESCA-IL2 PET measurements with radiologic response to treatment, according to (i)RECIST v1.1 criteria.

    Response to therapy will be assessed according to the RECIST or iRECIST guidelines. These results will be compared with imaging tracer standardized uptake value (SUV) in defined volumes of interest (VOIs) of tumor lesions on the PET scan images.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Assessment of changes in tumour and normal organ tracer uptake after 2 weeks of treatment, expressed as standardized uptake values.

    Patients will undergo a PET scan at baseline and another one during treatment. tracer uptake will be quantified and expressed as standardized uptake value (SUV) in defined volumes of interest (VOIs) for both scans. The results of both PET scans will be compared to assess changes in imaging tracer uptake over time.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing [18F]AlF-RESCA-IL2 PET scan in people with Metastatic Solid Tumor, run by University Medical Center Groningen at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Instability of the IL2 tracer). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of adverse events related to [18F]-AlF-RESCA-IL2 administration as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 May 2025.
