  Purpose

This pilot phase II study is designed as a test and retest study to investigate [F 18]HX4 as a reliable non-invasive PET imaging marker for detection of tumor hypoxia regions and to establish a threshold for [F 18]HX4 uptake in the tumor. The study will evaluate the relationship between hypoxia biomarkers (HIF1α and CA-IX) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and tumor uptake of [F 18]HX4 by PET imaging.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluate two sequential pre-treatment [F 18]HX4 PET scans (recommended to be within 48 hours of each other) in order to assess reproducibility and reliability of [F 18]HX4 PET imaging for measuring hypoxia in tumors [ Time Frame: (3) or (4) visits over a period of approximately 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To compare [F 18]HX4 PET/CT imaging with tissue immunohistochemistry staining using specific antibodies for HIF1alpha and /or CA-IX in order to assess the presence of hypoxia in tumor [ Time Frame: (3) or (4) visits over a period of approximately 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To collect vital signs, ECG, routine laboratory data and adverse events before the first pre-treatment [F 18]HX4 PET and after the second pre-treatment administration of [F 18]HX4 [ Time Frame: (3) or (4) visits over a period of approximately 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • To establish a threshold value of tumor/background (T/B) ratio for [F 18]HX4 PET/CT imaging of hypoxic tissue [ Time Frame: (3) or (4) visits over a period of approximately 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To examine the standard uptake values (SUV) and T/B changes of [F 18]HX4 PET/CT imaging before treatment and after mid-treatment for patients that have one or more tumors with a T/B ratio ≥ 1.3 on both pre-treatment [F 18]HX4 PET/CT imaging scans [ Time Frame: (3) or (4) visits over a period of approximately 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To gain clinical experience and information to guide the design of a future, pivotal Phase II trial(s) [ Time Frame: (3) or (4) visits over a period of approximately 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: [F 18]HX4 Drug: [F 18]HX4
Approximately forty (40) patients who have diagnosis confirmed by histopathological examination of tumor tissue from head/neck, lung, liver, rectal or cervical cancers and will receive chemotherapy, radiation therapy or chemoradiotherapy, will be imaged under PET/CT with [F 18]HX4

Detailed Description:

A Pilot Phase II Study

The primary objectives for this study are:

  • To test the reproducibility of [F-18] HX-4 uptake in tumors by imaging the same patient on sequential days in a test-retest protocol
  • To test and confirm the relationship between hypoxia in tumors measured by hypoxia related biomarkers (HIF1α and CA-IX) with immunohistochemistry (IHC) and regional [F-18 HX-4] uptake in tumors with PET/CT.

The secondary objectives for this study are:

  • To continue safety evaluation by the collection of safety data from all patients
  • To establish the threshold for hypoxia uptake in [F- 18]HX4 PET imaging
  • To collect data to test [F-18]HX4 PET imaging as a predictor of response in a subgroup of patients receiving treatment
  • To gain experience with [F-18]HX4 PET/CT in order to improve the study design to conduct future studies

Design: An open label, non-randomized, uncontrolled, single group assignment, pilot efficacy study

Procedures: Informed consent, collection of demographic information, medical history, blood labs, physical examination, vital signs, ECGs, two or three sets of [F-18]HX4 dosing and imaging scans including two pretreatment, and one mid-treatment if [F-18]HX4 tumor/background ratio ≥ 1.3 from pre-treatment scans, one pre-treatment [F-18]FDG, one mid-treatment if [F- 18]HX4 tumor/background ratio ≥1.3 from pre-treatment scans, concomitant medication collection, adverse event monitoring, and assessment of tumor response to treatment

Patients: Approximately forty (40) patients who have diagnosis confirmed by histopathological examination of tumor tissue from head/neck, lung, liver, rectal or cervical cancers and will receive chemotherapy, radiation therapy or chemoradiotherapy. This allows for approximately 30 evaluable patients to complete this study at approximately six sites.
