Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study involves the use of an investigational imaging product, 68Ga-A9T-3202.

68Ga-A9T-3202 is an investigational imaging agent being developed for patients with MC1R positive metastatic melanoma. A single dose of 68Ga-A9T-3202 will be administered via intravenous injection by a Nuclear Medicine Physician prior to whole body PET-CT scans being performed at 4 timepoints post dose (15mins, 30mins, 60mins and 150mins post dose for conventional scanners; dynamic scan at 0-30mins post dose, static scans at 60mins, and 120min with an optional scan at 240mins post dose for Long Axial Field-of-View scanners). The radioactivity of the injected dose will be determined according to body weight, with a target administration activity of 2MBq/kg ±10%. The maximum administered activity will not exceed 300MBq.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 336726 0
Safety and tolerability of a single intravenous dose of 68Ga-A9T-3202
Timepoint [1] 336726 0

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Has histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic melanoma.
2. 18F-FDG-PET proven disease in the recent 3 months. 18F-FDG-PET scans performed prior to date of consent, as part of a participant’s routine clinical assessments, but within the 28 day screening window can be used to assess eligibility and are not required to be repeated unless specified by the Study Investigator.
3. Age greater than or equal to 18 years old.
4. Mentally competent and able to understand and sign the Informed Consent Form.
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1.
6. Expected life expectancy of >12 weeks per the Investigator.
7. Participants must have at least one lesion with the following characteristics (measured by diagnostic CT imaging). CT scans performed prior to date of consent, as part of a participant’s routine clinical assessments, but within the 28 day screening window can be used to assess eligibility and are not required to be repeated unless specified by the Study Investigator.:
• visceral organ metastases greater than 1 cm
• nodal metastases greater than 1 cm short axis diameter
• bone lesions with a soft-tissue component of at least 1 cm in short axis
8. Participants with brain metastases are eligible provided they meet the following criteria:
a. Radiotherapy or surgery for brain metastases was completed at least 4 weeks prior to
the first administration of investigational product.
b. Symptoms are stable and steroid/antiepileptic doses remain unchanged for a
minimum of 4 weeks.
9. At least 4 weeks from prior major surgery.
10. Willing to use contraceptive measures: women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use effective methods of contraception (hormonal or barrier methods or abstinence) before study entry, during study participation, and for 1 month following exposure to the investigational product.

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Have any medical condition that would, in the Investigator’s judgment, prevent the

with clinical study procedures such as participants with severe claustrophobia who are
unresponsive to oral anxiolytics, participants with low back pain who cannot lie
comfortably on an imaging table, participants who are hyperactive or hyperkinetic such
that they cannot tolerate lying still for multiple time-point imaging procedures, etc.

peptide therapeutics, 68Ga-A9T-3202.
4. Cardiovascular exclusions:
a. Has a medical condition that the Investigator assesses could interfere with the
administration of the diagnostic agent or assessment of toxicity or response to the
diagnostic agent.
b. Has clinically significant cardiac disease not controlled on medical therapy (e.g.,
congestive cardiac failure, arrhythmia, coronary heart disease).
c. Has a medical history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months
before Day 1.
5. Other exclusions:
a. Was previously enrolled in this study.
b. Is actively enrolled in another clinical study unless it is an observational
(noninterventional) clinical study or the follow-up component of an interventional
study.
c. Use of another systemic anticancer therapy within 3 weeks prior to Day 1 or 5 half-lives,
whichever is shorter, unless agreed to following discussion with the Medical Monitor.
6. Prior External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
• Volume > 25% of the bone marrow.
• Within 4 weeks of 68Ga-A9T-3202 dosing. (Exceptions may be approved on a case-by-
case basis in discussion with study Sponsor.)

• Has evidence of active infection requiring IV antibiotics within 7 days prior to Day 1.
• Has active uncontrolled bleeding or a bleeding diathesis within 7 days prior to Day 1.

8. Any other known, active malignancy, except for treated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or non-melanoma skin cancer. Participants with a history of malignancies of low recurrence potential who have received curative-intent therapy may be approved on a case-by-case basis in discussion with study Sponsor.
