Comparing DLL3 PET/CT to Standard Scans in Neuroendocrine Cancer

Prior treatment

• Received chemotherapy, biological therapy, endocrine therapy, molecular targeted therapy, or investigational drug therapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
• Prior exposure to any DLL3-targeted therapeutic agent (e.g., Tarlatamab, bispecific T-cell engagers, or DLL3-targeted radioimmunotherapy) or DLL3-targeted radiotracer.
• Prior radionuclide therapy or diagnostic scan with an interval of less than 10 physical half-lives of the administered radionuclide prior to study tracer administration.
• History of any other malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except for adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or other malignancies with negligible risk of recurrence in the investigator's opinion.

Other illness

• Known severe immediate-type hypersensitivity or anaphylactic reaction to DLL3-targeted tracers, nanobody proteins, chelators, buffer components, or excipients.
• Any other condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the patient unsuitable for study participation (e.g., severe psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, poor compliance).

Lab values

• Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 30 mL/min/1.73m².
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN).
• Total bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN.
• Clinically significant abnormalities on physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), or clinical laboratory tests during screening that, in the investigator's opinion, may compromise safety or study compliance.

Other

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
• Inability to tolerate or cooperate with PET/CT imaging procedures, including but not limited to: severe claustrophobia, inability to remain supine and still for at least 30 minutes, or inability to establish adequate intravenous access.
• Currently participating in another interventional clinical trial.

• Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 80 years at the time of signing the informed consent form, male or female.
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), including but not limited to small cell lung cancer (SCLC), neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NENs), or other NEN subtypes.
• Patients with strong clinical and radiological suspicion of NENs based on imaging (CT/MRI/conventional PET/CT) and clinical presentation.
• At least 2 evaluable metastatic lesions (multiple metastases) confirmed by conventional imaging (CT/MRI/PET/CT).
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2. Life expectancy \> 3 months.
• Voluntarily agrees to participate and provides written informed consent.
• Females of childbearing potential and male participants agree to use reliable contraceptive methods for 6 months after the last study drug administration.
• Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, diagnostic procedures, clinical laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
