Brief Title: An Evaluation of Tc 99m Tilmanocept by Intravenous (IV) and Subcutaneous (SC) Injection in Kaposi Sarcoma (KS)
Official Title: An Evaluation of the Safety of Escalating Doses of Tc 99m Tilmanocept by Intravenous (IV) Injection and a Comparison to Subcutaneous (SC) Injection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Subjects Diagnosed With Kaposi Sarcoma (KS)
Study ID: NCT03157167
Brief Summary: To determine the safety of escalating IV doses of Tc 99m tilmanocept in HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) subjects with confirmed KS and to compare results obtained from subcutaneous and IV administrations of Tc 99m tilmanocept in the same subjects.
Detailed Description: This is a Manocept Platform prospective, single-center, open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation, comparative, safety study of intravenously and subcutaneously injected Tc 99m tilmanocept in the localization and detection of cutaneous and non-cutaneous KS tumor(s) in subjects with biopsy-confirmed KS. Three IV doses (µg/mCi) of tilmanocept will be evaluated in three cohort groups. One subcutaneous dose will be evaluated in cohort group 3. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of IV Tc 99m tilmanocept and to compare results obtained from IV and subcutaneous administrations of Tc 99m tilmanocept in the same subjects. Whole body planar as well as SPECT/CT imaging will be performed to provide greater resolution of areas of Tc 99m tilmanocept localization. A biopsy of a non-visceral KS lesion will be taken to correlate pathology with Tc 99m tilmanocept localization. This study is designed to evaluate the use of Tc 99m tilmanocept as an imaging agent in HIV-positive subjects with known KS by evaluating localization in known and unknown cutaneous and non-cutaneous lesions.
