A Phase 0 Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Biodistribution and Radiation Dosimetry of Granzyme-B Targeted [Cu-64]-Labeled Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Radiotracers in Adult Healthy Volunteers
A Phase 0 Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Biodistribution and Radiation Dosimetry of Granzyme-B Targeted [Cu-64]-Labeled Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Radiotracers in Adult Healthy Volunteers
This is an exploratory clinical study of copper-64 [Cu-64]-labeled granzyme B (GzmB)-targeted compounds for PET/CT imaging. The goal is to determine how GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compounds are distributed in the body by assessing PET/CT images and blood samples, and to assess the safety profile after a single intravenous dose.
Up to 6 healthy volunteers (3 female, 3 male) will receive one injection of a GzmB-targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound, then undergo multiple whole-body PET/CT scans, blood and urine tests over about 24 hours, and a follow-up phone call around Day 7. Up to 2 GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compounds may be assessed (i.e. maximum of 12 healthy volunteers in total in the study).
Researchers will look at the blood activity of GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound and the organ distribution and movement of the product in the body. They will also evaluate any changes in physical examination assessments, vital signs, ECG, and clinical laboratory measurements from pre-administration to post-administration.

Granzyme B (GzmB) is a cytotoxic serine protease released by activated T cells and natural killer cells, and its release acts as a functional marker of immune engagement. GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compounds are being developed as PET/CT tracers to image immune activation and inflammation. This first-in-human Phase 0 study in adult healthy volunteers is designed to characterize the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, radiation dosimetry, and safety of GzmB-targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compounds.
Up to 6 participants (3 female, 3 male) will receive a single dose of a GzmB-targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compound, followed by serial whole-body PET/CT imaging, blood and urine sampling for pharmacokinetics and excretion, and safety assessments over approximately 24 hours post-dose, with a telephone follow-up at about 7 days. Up to 2 GzmB-Targeted [Cu-64]-labeled compounds may be assessed in the clinical trial (i.e. a maximum of 12 healthy volunteers in total in the study).
Data from this study will support lead candidate selection and inform further clinical development of a [Cu-64]-labeled GzmB-targeted imaging agent.
