This is a First-In-Human (FIH) study of \[68Ga\]-FF58 to characterize the imaging properties, safety, biodistribution and dosimetry properties of \[68Ga\]-FF58 in adults with relapsed or refractory (r/r) glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), breast cancer (BC) that has metastasized to the brain, gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) expected to overexpress alpha-v beta 3 (αvβ3) and alpha-v beta 5 (αvβ5) integrins.
Approximately 80 patients were planned to be enrolled into the study, 20 patients with GBM, 20 patients with BC that had metastasized to the brain, 20 with GEA and 20 with PDAC. The study included an imaging characterization part and an expansion part. In the imaging characterization part, approximately 24 patients were planned to be enrolled, 6 with r/r GBM, 6 with BC that had metastasized to the brain, 6 with GEA and 6 with PDAC. Due to the early termination of the study, the expansion part was not started. Both parts of the study (imaging characterization and expansion) included a dosimetry sub-group in which the distribution, pharmacokinetics (PK), radiation dosimetry and absorbed doses in tissue and tumor were to be assessed. However, no patients were enrolled in the dosimetry sub-group. All patients enrolled in the study received a single dose of \[68Ga\]-FF58 and underwent \[68Ga\]-FF58 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging at different timepoints on Day 1 as well as conventional imaging (high resolution computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)). The estimated study duration for each individual patient was approximately 44 days (including screening period of 28 days and 14 days of follow-up (FU)).

Time-activity curves (TACs) from 68Ga-FF58 PET/CT images
Time activity curves (TACs) for the various organs will be produced as mean Standard Uptake Values (SUV) of the lesions over time.
Time frame: [68Ga]-FF58 PET imaging acquired at Day 1
Standard Uptake Value (SUV) mean and max in lesions detected by PET scans
Targeting properties of 68GaFF58 will be evaluated by semi quantitatively assessing radiotracer uptake at lesion level, identified via PET/CT imaging (4 scans). The SUVmean and SUVmax of each lesion will be calculated and reported by lesion location with summary statistics.
Time frame: [68Ga]-FF58 PET imaging acquired at Day 1
Tumor to Background Ratio (TBR) of lesions detected by PET scans
Targeting properties of 68Ga-FF58 will be evaluated by semi quantitatively assessing radiotracer uptake at lesion level, identified via PET/CT imaging (4 scans). The lesion Tumor to Background Ratio (TBR) will be defined as the ratio of the lesion SUV over the reference region SUV. TBRs will be calculated for both SUVmax(lesion) / SUVmean and reported by lesion location with summary statistics. Different regions will be used as reference, in order to satisfy the most appropriate one for each type of lesion.
Time frame: [68Ga]-FF58 PET imaging acquired at Day 1
Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be collected from first dosing (single administration, Day 1) up to last follow-up visit or the patient withdrew consent. The distribution of adverse events will be done via the analysis of frequencies for treatment emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Event (TESAEs) and Deaths due to AEs, through the monitoring of relevant clinical and laboratory safety parameters.
Time frame: From first dosing (single administration, Day 1) up to 14 days post infusion
Percentage of lesions detected by conventional scans, PET scans, or both modalities
The percentage of lesions detected by conventional imaging (high resolution CT or MRI acquired jointly or within 24 hours before or after the \[68Ga\]-FF58 PET scan), \[68Ga\]-FF58 PET scans , or both modalities will be summarized descriptively for all patients and split by indication.
Time frame: [68Ga]-FF58 PET imaging acquired at Day 1
Lesion-level analyses of diagnostics by [68Ga]-FF58 compared with conventional imaging
At lesion level, overall, positive, and negative agreement of \[68Ga\]-FF58 will be calculated based on the aforementioned tabulations as follows: • Overall agreement = 100% x (Double positive + Double negative) / total number of lesions identified by either imaging procedures * Positive agreement = 100% x Double positive / (Double positive + Comparator single positive) * Negative agreement = 100% x Double negative / (Double negative + Comparator single negative).
