Dose Optimization and Diagnostic Performance in Prostate Cancer (SPARROW [Staging Prostate Cancer With Advanced RM2 Radiotracer Oncologic Workup])
SPARROW
A Prospective Phase 2/3, Multicenter, Open Label Study of [68Ga]- LNTH2401 PET/CT Imaging in Participants With Prostate Cancer: Phase 2 Dose Optimization in Either Newly Diagnosed or Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer and Phase 3 Diagnostic Performance in Participants Who Are Newly Diagnosed and Have at Least High Risk or Suspected Metastatic Disease and Planning to Undergo Radical Prostatectomy Plus Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection (SPARROW)

Brief Summary
This is an open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter study conducted in two sequential parts: an initial Phase 2 Dose Optimization Period followed by the Phase 3 Diagnostic Performance Period. After the optimal administered activity and imaging time window are selected in Phase 2, Phase 3 will enroll participants with recently diagnosed PCa who are at least high risk or have suspected metastatic disease and are eligible for radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection (RP+PLND). Safety assessments throughout the study will include monitoring of adverse events, vital signs, ECGs, and clinical laboratory parameters. Participants will be enrolled sequentially in a nonrandomized manner, with competitive enrollment across study sites.

Phase 2 Dose Optimization Period :Biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of [68Ga]-LNTH-2401 in participants with either newly diagnosed or BCR PCa.
Time activity curves (TACs), describing the percentage of the injected activity versus time will be derived for standard organs. Absorbed radiation doses of \[68Ga\]-LNTH-2401in standard organs; whole-body effective dose will also be estimated.
Day 1

Frequency and severity of AEs per CTCAE version 6.0 for \[68Ga\]-LNTH-2401.
1 week (Ph2), 6 months (Ph3)
Safety and tolerability of [68Ga] LNTH 2401 in participants with either newly diagnosed or BCR PCa.
Clinical laboratory parameters (e.g., hematology, chemistry), vital signs, and ECG parameters after administration of \[68Ga\]-LNTH 2401.
1 week (Ph2), 6 months (Ph3)
Phase 3 Diagnostic Performance Period- Diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of [68Ga]-LNTH-2401 PET/CT imaging for detecting prostate cancer in pelvic lymph nodes, compared to histopathology.
Co-primary endpoints of: Participant-level specificity (TN/\[TN + FP\]) of \[68Ga\]-LNTH-2401 PET/CT for detection of prostate cancer in pelvic lymph nodes relative to histopathology. Participant-level sensitivity (TP/\[TP + FN\]) of \[68Ga\]-LNTH-2401 PET/CT for detection of prostate cancer in pelvic lymph nodes relative to histopathology.
Enrollment through study completion, average 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Phase 2 Dose Optimization Period- Refine the GRPR positivity definition
Day 1
Phase 3 Diagnostic Performance Period- Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of [68Ga]-LNTH-2401.
From Enrollment to End of treatment of Ph3
Phase 3 Diagnostic Performance Period- Determination of (true) detection rates of [68Ga]-LNTH-2401 and conventional imaging (CT/MRI of pelvis, ultrasound, bone scan) or PSMA PET/CT or PET/MRI among anatomic regions
From Enrollment to End of treatment of Ph3
Phase 3 Diagnostic Performance Period- Assessment of the diagnostic performance of [68Ga]-LNTH-2401 PET/CT imaging of prostate cancer within the prostatic region.
From Enrollment to End of treatment of Ph3
Phase 3 Diagnostic Performance Period- To determine the patient level and region level diagnostic performance of [68Ga] LNTH-2401 PET/CT imaging prostate cancer within the pelvic lymph nodes or other metastatic lesions.

- +9 more criteria
You may not qualify if:

- Participants are excluded if they have received any other prior anti-cancer therapy (including radioligand therapy) or investigational agent within ≤28 days (or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study treatment. Note: Prior external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is permitted for Phase 2 participants with BCR PCa only.
- Participants who are planning to undergo alternate medical procedures for prostate cancer from the time of dosing (Day 1) to surgery.
- History of malignancy other than prostate cancer that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is expected to alter life expectancy or may interfere with study assessments, including imaging interpretation or histopathological evaluation. Participants with adequately treated nonmelanoma skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or other malignancies that have been disease free for more than 2 years are eligible.
- Any medical, psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may compromise the participant's ability to comply with study requirements, undergo study procedures, or result in the collection of reliable data.

- Known contraindications or hypersensitivity to \[68Ga\]-LNTH-2401 and/or excipients.
- Clinical evidence or history of central nervous system metastases.

- recent myocardial infarction or arterial thrombotic events (in the past 6 months); current history of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, or severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias; or bradycardia or left ventricular ejection fraction measurement of
- history of additional risk factors for Torsade de pointes (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, and/or familial history of prolonged QT syndrome) or taking medication known to cause QT/QTc prolongation; or marked baseline prolongation of the QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval, calculated with Fridericia's correction, \>450 ms).
- Treatment-related adverse events from prior or concurrent therapies that have not resolved to grade ≤1 according to the CTCAE Version 6.0.
- Imaging evidence of metastatic disease that precludes surgical indication.
