Summary
The goal of this Phase I clinical trial is to evaluate how the imaging drug 203Pb- RMX-VH-PIB distributes in the body and how much radiation different organs receive in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
How does 203Pb-RMX-VH-PIB spread in the body (biodistribution)? What is the radiation dose delivered to organs (dosimetry)?
Participants will:
Receive a single IV injection of 203Pb-RMX-VH-PIB. Undergo multiple SPECT/CT imaging scans. Have blood, urine, vital signs, and ECG monitored for safety. Be followed for any side effects for up to 30 days.
Detailed Description
This is an early-stage clinical trial designed to test a new imaging drug called 203Pb-RMX-VH-PIB. The study will use SPECT/CT scans to see how the drug spreads through the body and how much radiation is delivered to different organs. The trial will enroll 20 patients who have either glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive brain tumor, or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a type of pancreatic cancer. Patients may be newly diagnosed, have recurrent disease, or have stable tumors. For GBM patients, the drug's distribution will be compared with MRI scans to see if it highlights the tumor areas effectively. For PDAC patients, the study will track how the drug behaves in pancreatic tumors. Participants will be divided into four groups to study both biodistribution and dosimetry in each cancer type. Each participant will receive a single intravenous injection of the drug, followed by several whole-body SPECT/CT scans. To ensure safety, vital signs will be measured before and after the injection, and blood and urine samples will be collected at multiple time points. A 12-lead ECG will also be performed to monitor heart rhythm, and results will be reviewed by the investigator. Any side effects or health changes will be closely monitored and recorded for 30 days after administration. The goal of this exploratory study is to better understand how 203Pb-RMXVH- PIB works in the body and to gather important safety and radiation data in patients with GBM and PDAC.

Exclusion Criteria:
1. Known hypersensitivity to RMX-VH peptide analogue, 203Pb-RMX-VH-PIB, 203Pb (Lead) , or any of the excipients of 203Pb-RMX-VH-PIB.
2. Inability to undergo MRI or CT/SPECT/CT scans
3. Current somatic or psychiatric disease/condition that may interfere with consent or the objectives and assessments of the study.
4. Pregnancy or plans to conceive during the course of study participation.
5. In GBM groups participants requiring MRI: History of hypersensitivity or contraindication to gadolinium-based contrast agents, including prior allergic or anaphylactoid reactions to gadolinium contrast media, or any condition (e.g., severe renal impairment, acute kidney injury) that, in the investigator's judgment, increases the risk associated with gadolinium administration.
6. In PDAC groups participants requiring CT scans: Any contraindications to iodinated contrast agents include a history of severe hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to iodinated contrast media, significant renal impairment (e.g., eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m² or acute kidney injury), uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or other thyroid disorders that may worsen with iodine exposure, prior contrast-induced nephropathy, pregnancy, and any unstable medical condition such as severe heart failure or hemodynamic instability that, in the investigator's judgment, increases the risk of contrast administration.

8. Women who are breastfeeding
9. Participants who are currently receiving treatment with statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors), including but not limited to atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, pitavastatin, simvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, or fluvastatin, are excluded unless the medication has been discontinued for at least four (4) drug half-lives prior to administration of the investigational product
