Multicenter Phase III REDECT Trial with 124I-Girentuximab Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) for the Presurgical Detection of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC)
Background: The ability to distinguish preoperatively between ccRCC and other renal masses may help patients avoid surgical overtreatment.
The antibody girentuximab (cG250) binds to carbonic anhydrase-IX (CAIX), which is expressed in >95% of ccRCC. Results from a recent phase III study to determine the specificity/sensitivity of presurgical PET/CT using 124I-girentuximab for detecting ccRCC vs multiphasic diagnostic CT is presented.
Methods: 14 study sites included patients with a renal mass and no metastases other than from primary tumor. Histopathology and imaging studies were assessed via a blinded, centralized process.
Results: 226 patients; 63% men; mean age 56 years (range, 24-87 y). Surgery was conducted in 202 patients; 196 had evaluable PET/CT and diagnostic CT imaging and provided renal tumor tissue for histopathologic diagnosis. 146 patients had ccRCC (72.3%); 143 had evaluable images; 56 had non-ccRCC (27.7%); 53 had evaluable images. Diagnostic efficacy data is outlined (Table). Only 1 serious adverse event possibly related to study agent was reported.
Conclusions: PET/CT with 124I-girentuximab reliably distinguished ccRCC from less-aggressive subtypes and improved presurgical histologic diagnosis vs CT. Detection of aggressive ccRCC using 124I-girentuximab-PET/CT might reduce unnecessary surgeries and appropriately guide patient management.
