Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Phase: Exploratory Study Objectives: To collect drug bio-distribution data, begin collection of baseline and tumor/background imaging data, acquire experience to improve study design and the conduct of future studies Design: Exploratory, open label, nonrandomized, multi-center study Duration: Three visits - one screening, one imaging, and one follow-up visit at 24 hours post-dose Procedures: Informed consent, collection of demographic information and medical history, physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, routine blood tests to assess major organ functions, complete blood counts and clinical chemistries for safety, blood sample for CA-IX assay, pre-dose and post-dose blood samples for metabolite analysis, dosing with \[F-18\]VM4-037, PET imaging scan, dosimetry estimation (normals), urine collections (normals), tumor immunohistochemistry with CA-IX biomarker, follow up to imaging to collect adverse events Subjects: Approximately sixteen (16) adult subjects including four (4) healthy volunteers and twelve (12) cancer subjects who have confirmed or highly suspected diagnosis of head \& neck, lung, large solitary hepatic and renal cell cancer, as defined by protocol criteria
