An Investigational Scan (89Zr-DFO-GmAb PET/CT) Compared to Contrast-Enhanced CT for the Detection of Recurrent Clear Cell Renal Cell Cancer After Surgery Comparing Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX) PET CT to Conventional PET CT for Post-Op Staging in Kidney Cancer
89Zr-DFO-GmAb PET/CT vs Contrast-Enhanced CT for Detection of Recurrent Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma After Surgery
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This phase II trial compares the safety and effectiveness of 89Zr-DFO-GmAb positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) compared to contrast-enhanced CT after surgery in detecting clear cell renal cell cancer that has come back (recurrent). For some patients, the risk of recurrence after surgery remains high. Conventional CT methods, such as contrast-enhanced CT, may not detect small volume or micrometastatic disease. PET/CT with radiotracers, such as 89Zr-DFO-GmAb, may improve detection of tumor cells. Girentuximab (GmAb), a monoclonal antibody, is tagged with zirconium-89, a radioactive atom (which is also known as an isotope). The zirconium-89 (89Zr) isotope is attached to girentuximab with desferrioxamine (DFO) and this combined product is called 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab. 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab attaches itself to a protein on the surface of clear cell renal cell tumor cells called CAIX. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case of this research, 89Zr-DFO-GmAb. Because some cancers, including clear cell renal cell cancer, take up 89Zr-DFO-GmAb it can be seen with PET. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in patient's body. Using contrast agents with CT scan to enhance the images (contrast-enhanced CT) is standard of care imaging. 89Zr-DFO-GmAb PET/CT may be safe and effective compared to contrast-enhanced CT in detecting recurrent clear cell renal cell cancer after surgery.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Prior post-operative imaging for confirmation of disease status
- Any prior treated malignancy meeting the following characteristics:
- Treated stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission
- A stage III cancer from which the patient is progressing or has been disease-free for and has required active treatment (e.g. adjuvant or maintenance therapy) within the past 3 years prior to enrollment
- A hematologic malignancy from which the patient is currently in complete remission
- Prior use of systemic therapy treatment for kidney cancer (PD-1, PD-L1, tyrosine kinase or TOR inhibitor) or radiotherapy within 4 weeks of enrollment
- Exposure to experimental diagnostic or therapeutic drug within 14 days from date of planned administration
Other illness
- Any evidence of residual disease or known metastasis at the time of planned 89Zr-DFO-GmAb administration
- An untreated non-renal malignancy with the following exceptions:
- Low risk prostate cancer on active surveillance (National Comprehensive Cancer Network \[NCCN\] very low/low risk)
- Non-melanoma skin cancer
- Known hypersensitivity to girentuximab
Lab values
- Contraindication to the use of iodinated contrast-enhanced CT agents, based on:
- Severe allergy (for which pre-medication cannot limit adverse reactions) or
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≤ 30 ml/min/1.73m\^2
Other
- Inability to provide written informed consent
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Known inability to remain still and lie flat imaging procedure (about 30 minutes)
Who the study is looking for
- Age ≥ 18
- Histologically confirmed clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (ccRCC) (based on partial/radical nephrectomy/metastasectomy)
- For tumors with extensive sarcomatoid features, if there is evidence of areas of clear cell and high CAIX expression throughout the tumor on immunohistochemistry, they will be allowed on study
- Subjects must have undergone definitive treatment of their primary tumor (partial/radical nephrectomy) +/- resection of metastatic disease to no evidence of disease (NED) with a prior nephrectomy \< 2 years)
- Surgery must have been performed between 4-16 weeks at the time of planned imaging
- Subjects are considered to have a high risk of recurrence based on the following criteria:
- Intermediate-high risk ccRCC:
- pathologic tumor stage 2 (pT2), grade 4, or sarcomatoid, N0, M0
- pathologic tumor stage 3 (pT3), any grade, N0, M0
- High risk ccRCC:
- pathologic tumor stage 4 (pT4), any grade, N0, M0
- pT any stage, any grade, number of positive nodes (pN+), M0
- M1 now NED: pathologically-confirmed ccRCC, undergoing a resection of a solitary, isolated soft tissue metastasis within two years from initial nephrectomy
- Negative serum pregnancy tests in female patients of childbearing potential. (Women of child bearing potential \[WOCBP\] require a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours (urine) prior to receiving investigational product)
- Consent to practice double-barrier contraception until a minimum of 42 days after 89Zr-DFO-GmAb administration
- Individual must be able to remain still and lie flat for duration of the diagnostic imaging procedure (less than 1 hour)
