68Ga-NYM096 PET/CT to Find ccRCC in Complex Renal Cysts Before Surgery

Official title: 68Ga-NYM096 PET/ CT for the Detection of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma in Presurgical Patients With Complex Cystic Renal Leision

Run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital · NCT06949215 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether 68Ga-NYM096 PET/CT can reliably detect clear cell renal cell carcinoma in people with complex renal cysts who are planning kidney surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with Bosniak II or higher complex renal cysts who are scheduled for surgical removal of a renal mass and meet other criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients not showing ccRCC on histology or those not meeting imaging criteria may derive no benefit from the imaging approach.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm diagnostic Phase 2 study. It uses a single intravenous dose of 68Ga-NYM096 followed by whole-body PET/CT imaging to detect ccRCC in operable complex renal cysts, with histopathology after resection as the reference standard. The study also compares PET/CT findings to diagnostic CT for lesion characterization and to see if PET/CT can reveal metastases. Two blinded readers evaluate the PET/CT images while one blinded reader assesses the diagnostic CT images. The goal is to determine sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for 68Ga-NYM096 PET/CT. Histology, grading, and CAIX expression will be recorded from resected tissue.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve preoperative detection of ccRCC in complex cystic kidneys.

How similar studies have gone: Prior imaging approaches have shown mixed accuracy; this study tests a novel PET tracer in a similar diagnostic context.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥ 18 y
2. Presence of complex renal cyst (Bosniak category II or higher)
3. Scheduled for surgical resection of renal mass (partial or total nephrectomy, open, laparoscopic, or robot-assisted technique)
4. Expected survival of at least 3 months
5. ECOG ≤ 2
6. Written informed consent provided for participation in the trial
7. In the opinion of investigator, willing and able to comply with required study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. On VEGF TKI treatment less than 1 week before 68Ga-NYM096 PET/CT. TKI is known to affect girentuximab binding in patients with ccRCC and is expected to have the same effect on 68Ga-NYM096. If patients were on VEGF TKI treatment, such as sunitinib, sorafenib, cabozantinib, pazopanib, or lenvatinib, a washout of one week before 68Ga-NYM096 PET/CT is required.
2. Intercurrent medical condition that renders the patient ineligible for surgery.
3. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
4. Severe claustrophobia.
