Radiolabeled 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab PET/CT can accurately and noninvasively identify clear cell renal carcinoma, with minimal toxicity, say researchers reporting results from the phase 3 ZIRCON trial.
SAN FRANCISCO — A novel, noninvasive method was able to accurately and noninvasively identify clear cell renal carcinoma , and shows promise for differentiating indeterminant renal masses, say researchers reporting the phase 3 ZIRCON study with radiolabeledDetection of renal masses can present a considerable patient management challenge.
"Clear cell RCC accounts for 75% of RCC and causes about 90% of deaths," he said."Renal mass biopsy is invasive and anatomic imaging cannot reliably distinguish between benign/malignant renal masses." The sensitivity and specificity for the key secondary endpoints was 85% and 90%. For all evaluable patients, positive and negative predictive values were ≥ 91.7% and ≥ 73.7%.
The REDECT trial was a smaller study with 195 patients, that Fox Chase helped lead, he explained. That study showed superior sensitivity and specificity for iodine-124 girentuximab PET/CT in the detection of ccRCC when compared with contrast enhance CT .
