Brief summary:
This phase I trial studies if positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using 11C-YJH08 can be useful for detecting certain cell receptor expression in tumor cells in patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). 11C-YJH08 is a small-molecule radiotracer that binds to receptors on cells (glucocorticoid receptor) so that they show up better on the PET scan. Systemic therapy (including enzalutamide) can cause more glucocorticoid receptors to be produced in tumor cells, which can make the tumor cells resist hormone therapies. If researchers can find a better way to detect whether glucocorticoid receptors are increasing during therapy, it may lead to more successful therapies using glucocorticoid receptor antagonists.

Detailed description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the feasibility of metastatic lesion detection in enzalutamide/apalutamide-resistant metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) using 11C-YJH08 PET. (Cohort A).

II. To determine the mean percent change from baseline at the time of progression on enzalutamide or apalutamide in standardized uptake value (SUV)max-ave on paired 11C-YJH08 PET on a per-patient and per-lesion basis. (Cohorts B \& C).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the safety and determine average organ uptake of 11C-YJH08. II. To descriptively report the patterns of intra-tumoral uptake of 11C-YJH08 on whole body PET, including by site of disease, uptake by tumor type, inter-tumoral and inter-patient heterogeneity, and tumor-to-background signal.

III. To determine whether baseline uptake on 11C-YJH08 PET is associated with subsequent clinical outcomes including objective response rate, progression-free survival, and prostate specific antigen (PSA50) response. (Cohorts B \& C)

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the association between uptake on 11C-YJH08 PET with glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression and transcriptional signature scores on paired metastatic tumor biopsies.

OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 3 arms.

Cohort A (Dosimetry): Participants receive 11C-YJH08 intravenously (IV) over 1-2 minutes and 10-60 minutes later, undergo either PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or PET/computed tomography (CT) over 90 minutes at baseline.

\*\*Enrollment in Cohorts B \& C will enroll after dosimetry has been established in Cohort A\*\*

Cohort B: Participants with mCRPC receive 11C-YJH08 and undergo either PET/MRI or PET/CT at baseline and at time of progression.

Cohort C: Participants with solid tumors receive 11C-YJH08 and undergo either PET/MRI or PET/CT at baseline and at time of progression.

Participants are assessed the day of the scan for safety follow-up, and up to 24 months for non-interventional clinical outcomes. An optional metastatic tumor biopsy may be performed within 14 days of the initial scan.

Arms: arm 1: Participants with any solid tumor malignancy with evidence of one or more metastases will receive approximately 20 millicurie (mCi) of 11C-YJH08 IV over 1-2 minutes and 10-60 minutes later, undergo either PET/MRI or PET/CT over 90 minutes at baseline. arm 2: Participants with metastatic CRPC will receive approximately 20 mCi of 11C-YJH08 IV over 1-2 minutes and 10-60 minutes later, undergo either PET/MRI or PET/CT over 90 minutes at baseline and optional repeat scan at the time of progression. arm 3: Participants with any solid tumor malignancies other than prostate adenocarcinoma with one or more metastases on conventional imaging will receive approximately 20 mCi of 11C-YJH08 IV over 1-2 minutes and 10-60 minutes later, undergo either PET/MRI or PET/CT over 90 minutes at baseline and optional repeat scan at the time of progression.

Abstract
Title
A First-in-Human, Phase 1 PET imaging Study of 11C-YJH08, a 
Selective Glucocorticoid Receptor-Targeting Agent, in Patients with 
Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies 
Study Description
This is a first-in-human phase 1 imaging study of 11C-YJH08 PET 
in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies, with a 
particular focus on enzalutamide/apalutamide-resistant mCRPC.  
Phase of Study
Phase 1
Investigational 
Medicinal 
Product
11C-YJH08 at a dose of up to 20 mCi will be administered. It will be 
injected intravenously. For cohort A (n = 6), dosimetry calculation 
will be performed by obtaining whole body (vertex to thighs) PET 
images up to five time points during 0-90 minutes post injections.  
For cohort B and C (n=10 each), one time point will be obtained 
based on the results of cohort A.  
Study 
population
Approximately 26 patients total will be enrolled in one of two 
following cohorts: 
Cohort A (N = 6 patients): Patients with any solid tumor malignancy 
with evidence of one or metastases on conventional imaging.  
Cohort B (N = 10 patients): Patients with metastatic CRPC will 
undergo 11C-YJH08 PET at the time of progression by PCWG3 
criteria on systemic therapies (e.g. enzalutamide, apalutamide or 
darolutamide). 
Cohort C (N = 10 patients): Patients with any solid tumor 
malignancies other than prostate adenocarcinoma with one or 
more metastases on conventional imaging. Enrollment in Cohort B 
and C will be conducted after completion of enrollment in Cohort A. 
Rationale for 
Study
The proposed patient studies represent the first-ever cancer patient 
imaging studies with 11C-YJH08 PET. The patient population for 
Cohort A is designed to determine the dosimetry of the imaging 
agent, and will enroll any solid tumor malignancy. The patient 
population for Cohort B is designed to enrich for GR-overexpressing 
tumors, by selecting mCRPC patients at the time of progression by 
PCWG criteria on systemic therapies. And Cohort C is designed to 
include patients with any solid tumor malignancies other than 
prostate adenocarcinoma with one or more metastases on 
conventional imaging. Successful completion of the dosimetry cohort 
(Cohort A) will provide the necessary preliminary data to support 
subsequent enrollment in Cohort B and C. 
Primary Objectives
1.
Cohort A: To determine the feasibility of metastatic lesion 
detection in using 11C-YJH08 PET.  
2.
Cohort B and C: To determine the mean percent change from 
baseline at the time of progression on systemic therapy in 
SUVmax-ave on paired 11C-YJH08 PET on a per-patient and per-
lesion basis.

Introduction
1.1Background and Rationale
With the widespread clinical implementation of potent and selective inhibitors of the androgen 
receptor for the treatment of CRPC, there is now an urgent unmet need to define and overcome 
mechanisms of resistance to these therapies. The landscape of resistance mechanisms to 
therapies like the AR antagonist Enz is highly complex, with several molecularly discrete 
mechanisms defined in preclinical models, and no clear understanding as to their relative 
incidence in patients.  Moreover, biological screening to identify which mechanism(s) may have 
arisen in a given patient is not routine clinical practice, which complicates the development of 
well-organized clinical studies with experimental therapeutics to determine which resistance 
pathways are treatable. 
Appreciating these concerns, several years ago we began developing small molecule 
radiotracers for PET to identify Enz resistant CRPC lesions that express GR.  Our interest in this 
area stemmed from early preclinical reports showing that GR overexpression in human prostate 
cancer xenografts was a spontaneous response to chronic Enz treatment, and GR 
transcriptional activity overcame the antitumor effects of Enz therapy in vitro and in vivo (Figure 
1A).  Since this milestone, numerous manuscripts from other labs have disclosed biological 
findings supportive and consistent with these data.  Moreover, preclinical studies have shown 
that dual AR/GR antagonists, or selective GR antagonists paired with Enz have antitumor 
activity (Figure 1B). Collectively, these data strongly support a role for GR expression and 
biology in resistance to anti-androgen therapy, and three ongoing clinical trials are testing the 
therapeutic potential of overcoming treatment resistant CRPC with GR antagonists more 
systematically (CORT125281: NCT03437941; ORIC-101: NCT03928314; RU486: 
NCT02012296).
With the current enthusiasm for GR as a drug target, the timing is ideal to conduct human 
imaging studies to determine if GR expression in mCRPC can be visualized on PET.  Achieving 
Figure 1. GR signaling as a mechanism of resistance to standard of care therapies for mCRPC that target 
AR. A. A schema showing how GR overexpression by CRPC cells can bypass the effects of Enz. For example, 
GR in complex with cortisol can bind to androgen response elements to induce transcription. Moreover, 
activation of E3 ligases like AMFR can lead to ubiquitin-mediated suppression of 11-HSD2, which in turn 
increases cortisol within CRPC cells. B. Structures of three GR antagonists currently in clinical trials to test if 
GR suppression can extend overall survival in patients with mCRPC and other cancers.  The structure of YJH08, 
the radiotracer we developed to measure GR expression in cells with PET, is also shown.  The methyl group 
colored in red shows the site of radiolabeling with carbon-11.

this goal would empower the community with a crucial companion diagnostic for (1) 
prospectively identifying patients whose tumors express GR to evade Enz (and therefore may 
be likely to respond to a GR antagonist), and (2) studying the PD effects of GR antagonists 
holistically to identify dosing strategies that maximize antitumor effects while minimizing on-
target, off tissue effects.
Our studies identified a small molecule radiotracer, termed 11C-YJH08 that specifically 
binds to GR in rodent models, and has excellent pharmacokinetic properties (Figure 1B). 
1.2Pre-Clinical Data
Our first-generation radiotracers targeting GR were derivatives of potent and GR-selective 
corticosteroids.  We made two molecules, termed 18F-GR01 and 18F-GR02, which were both 
potent and selective for GR in vitro (Figure 2A).  18F-GR01 was quickly abandoned due to 
metabolic instability in vivo.  While 18F-GR02 was highly stable in vivo, and specifically bound to 
GR in normal and prostate cancer tissue, the uptake of 18F-GR02 was very low in prostate 
cancer tumors compared to virtually all normal tissues, including clinically relevant tissues like 
the bone (Figure 2B).  After publishing our findings in Oncotarget, we began developing 
second-generation radiotracers that we expected would have better pharmacokinetics and 
tissue exposure. 
Figure 2. First-generation radiotracers developed during 
the FY14 IDA were suboptimal for prostate cancer 
detection. A. Two steroid-based radiotracers, GR01 and 
GR02 were potent and selective for GR. However, GR01 was 
unstable in vivo. B. While 18F-GR02 was stable, and the tracer 
bound GR in tumors, the uptake in prostate cancer was 
significantly lower than normal tissues and equivalent to 
bone.

Phase I – 11C-YJH08
Page 12 of 39
After a focused medicinal chemistry screen, we discovered YJH08, a non-steroidal GR 
modulator with high affinity for GR (Kd ~ 0.4 nM) and at least 100-fold lower affinity for nuclear 
hormone receptors in the same family (Table 1).
To prepare 11C-YJH08, the phenol 1 was 
alkylated with 11C-methyl iodide 
(produced by the UCSF cyclotron and 
radiopharmacy) using chemistry that is 
applicable to GMP radiotracer 
synthesis11.  The decay corrected yield 
was ~52% and the radiochemical purity 
was >99% (Figure 3).  The specific 
activity was calculated to be 880 
Ci/mmol.  Parenthetically, we were also 
able to prepare 18F-YJH08.  While the 
yield was sufficiently high for animal and 
human studies (~12%), and fluorine-18 is more widely available than carbon-11, we opted to 
pursue 11C-YJH08 for further studies given that the radiochemistry was more adaptable to 
clinical translation.
To characterize the biodistribution of 11C-
YJH08 in vivo, we first conducted a dynamic 
PET scan over 60 min in immunocompetent 
male C57Bl6/J mice. Region of interest 
analysis was applied to generate time activity 
curves, which showed that the radiotracer 
rapidly cleared from serum, as expected.  
We also observed radiotracer uptake in 
normal tissues known to harbor high GR 
expression.  For instance, radiotracer uptake 
in the brain was very high (~2% ID/cc), and 
~100 fold higher than what was observed for 
18F-GR02. Moreover, we observed high 
uptake in supraspinal brown adipose tissue 
(~4% ID/cc), a tissue in which GR expression 
is understood to control seminal processes 
like thermogenesis. Radiotracer uptake in the bone was low (<0.5% ID/cc), suggesting the 
radiotracer could be useful for detecting osseous mCRPC.  Although radiotracer uptake in the 
liver was high, liver is not a common site of metastasis for mCRPC adenocarcinoma.
Table 1. In vitro affinity data show that YJH08 is a potent 
and selective ligand for GR. These data were collected in 
cells overexpressing the indicated full-length nuclear 
hormone receptor using a ligand displacement assay. 
Reference ligands were dexamethasone, DHT, progesterone, 
estradiol, and eplerenone.

We next performed treatment studies to demonstrate that 11C-YJH08 accumulation in tissues is 
due to specific GR binding. Wild type C57Bl6/J mice were treated with the synthetic agonist 
dexamethasone via oral gavage for three days to occupy the ligand binding domain on GR, 
which in turn suppressed 11C-YJH08 uptake in nearly every normal tissue (Figure 4A).  
Moreover, 11C-YJH08 uptake in tissues was significantly higher in adrenalectomized mice 
compared to intact mice, consistent with a GR dependent mechanism of action (Figure 4B). 
Collectively, these data underscore that 11C-YJH08 binds GR in vivo, and show that 11C-YJH08 
can measure GR occupancy by endogenous or synthetic ligands. 
We next conducted a pilot study to test if 11C-YJH08 can detect a PC3 tumor in vivo.  PC3 
tumors embedded in the renal capsule took up very high levels of 11C-YJH08 (Figure 5A).  
Radiotracer uptake (~3% ID/g) was significantly higher in the tumor compared to GR rich 
tissues like the brain and lungs.  Moreover, the radiotracer uptake was significantly higher than 
what was observed in bone, further underscoring the clinical utility of the radioligand.  Lastly, 
digital autoradiography of the affected kidney was applied to define relative uptake of the 
radiotracer in the tumor and normal kidney parenchyma (Figure 5B and 5C).  The radiotracer 
uptake in the tumor was qualitatively much higher than the level observed in the kidney. These 
early data suggest that 11C-YJH08 could be a useful tool for measuring GR expression in 
mCRPC.
The rodent dosimetry was recently performed at UCSF, and the estimated effective dose to an 
adult human male (73 kg) is 0.0067 mSv/MBq (Table 2).  This value shows that the radiotracer 
is very safe, and a dose of up to 20 mCi per scan is justifiable.  Using this funding mechanism, 
we are also performing single species rodent toxicity studies with Charles River Laboratories.  
Figure 4. In vivo blocking studies reveal that 11C-YJH08 specifically binds GR in vivo. A. Biodistribution data 
collected 20 min post-injection showing the suppression of 11C-YJH08 uptake in several mouse tissues by 
dexamethasone (Dex, n = 5/arm). Dex was administered via two routes involving oral gavage of 50 mg/kg for three 
days prior to radiotracer injection or administration of a water-soluble dexamethasone-cyclodextrin (CD) complex

certified PET drug manufacturer. Anticipated timeline for IND submission is first quarter of 2021.
1.3Overall Study Rationale
The proposed patient studies represent the first-ever cancer patient imaging studies with 
11C-YJH08 PET.  The patient population for Cohort A is designed to determine the dosimetry 
of the imaging agent, and will enroll any solid tumor malignancy.  The patient population for 
Cohort B is designed to enrich for GR-overexpressing tumors, by selecting mCRPC patients 
at the time of progression by PCWG criteria on systemic therapies. And Cohort C is designed 
to include patients with any solid tumor malignancies other than prostate adenocarcinoma 
with one or more metastases on conventional imaging. Successful completion of the 
feasibility portion of the study (Cohort A) will provide the necessary preliminary data to 
support subsequent enrollment in Cohort B or C.

Figure 5. 11C-YJH08 detects a GR-rich PC3 tumor in 
the renal capsule. A. Ex vivo biodistribution data showing 
that radiotracer accumulation in the PC3 tumor is higher 
than the level observed in GR-rich tissues like the brain and 
lungs. Radiotracer uptake is also higher than the level 
observed in bone, suggesting the signal to noise in the PET 
assay may be substantial enough to detect mCRPC.B. 
Digital auto-radiography overlaid with H&E show the high 
uptake of the radiotracer in the PC3 tumor compared to the 
normal kidney. C. A higher magnification field of view 
shows the colocalization of high radiotracer uptake with the 
tumor.

Investigational Medicinal Product
11C-YJH08 is a radiopharmaceutical that will be produced under cGMP in the Department of 
Radiology and Biomedical Imaging Radiopharmaceutical Facility. The radiopharmaceutical will 
be prepared in the same facility in which the injection and imaging will take place, the China 
Basin Imaging Center. 
11C-YJH08 will be administered on an outpatient basis. It will be administered intravenously prior 
to PET imaging. The injected dose will be approximately 20 mCi. Between 10-60 minutes 
following 11C-YJH08 injection, one or more whole body CT (PET/CT) or MRI (PET/MR) scans 
will be used for attenuation correction and anatomic localization of 11C-YJH08 and SUV 
calculation.
11C-YJH08 Injection is the IMP in this study.

Study Procedures and Schedules of Events
5.1Participant Registration
A written, signed, informed consent form (ICF) and a Health Insurance Portability and 
Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization must be obtained before any study-specific 
assessments are initiated. A copy of the signed ICF will be given to the subject and a copy will 
be filed in the medical record. The original will be kept on file with the study records.
All participants consented to the study will be registered in OnCore®, the UCSF Helen Diller 
Family Comprehensive Cancer Center Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS). The system 
is password protected and meets HIPAA requirements.
A list of study subjects will be completed and will include each subject's study number and 
initials. The investigator must also maintain a separate log of all the subjects screened for 
participation in the study but who will not participate, the reasons for their exclusion or non- 
participation, their initials, and the date on which the subject was excluded.
5.2Schedule of Procedures and Assessments
5.2.1 Screening Assessments
The screening procedures and assessments must be completed within 28 days of baseline PET 
(PET/CT or PET/MR) scan except for staging scans which need to be completed 12 weeks prior 
to baseline PET. All screening procedures may be performed on the same day as baseline PET, 
provided screening and eligibility confirmation is completed and verified by Principal Investigator 
prior to initiation of PET.

Reporting and Documentation of Results
6.1
Evaluation of Safety
Analyses will be performed for all patients having received at least one dose of IMP. The study 
will use the CTCAE v5.0 criteria for reporting of non-hematologic adverse events and modified 
criteria for hematologic adverse events.
6.2
Definitions of Adverse Events
6.2.1
Adverse Event
An adverse event (also known as an adverse experience) is defined as any untoward medical 
occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug 
related. More specifically, an adverse event (can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (e.g., 
an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a 
drug, without any judgment about causality. An adverse event can arise from any use of the 
drug (e.g., off-label use, use in combination with another drug) and from any route of 
administration, formulation, or dose, including an overdose.
Laboratory test value abnormalities will not be recorded as AEs unless they are designated as 
clinically significant, defined as any one of the following: symptomatic, requiring treatment, 
resulting in dose modification or delay or premature study withdrawal, or placing the subject at 
risk for other toxicity in the judgment of the treating investigator.
6.2.2
Adverse Reaction
An adverse reaction is defined as any adverse event caused by the use of a drug. Adverse 
reactions are a subset of all suspected adverse reactions for which there is reason to conclude 
that the drug caused the event.
6.2.3
Suspected Adverse Reaction 
A suspected adverse reaction is defined as any adverse event for which there is a reasonable 
possibility that the drug caused the adverse event. For the purposes of IND safety reporting, 
“reasonable possibility” indicates that there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship 
between the drug and the adverse event. A suspected adverse reaction implies a lesser degree 
of certainty about causality than an adverse reaction.
6.2.4
Unexpected 
An adverse event or suspected adverse reaction is considered unexpected if it is not listed in 
the investigator brochure or package insert(s), or is not listed at the specificity or severity that 
has been observed, or, if an investigator brochure is not required or available, is not consistent 
with the risk information described in the general investigational plan or elsewhere in the current 
application.


UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
Version date: 04/24/2024
Protocol CC#: 20926
Phase I – 11C-YJH08
Page 26 of 39
“Unexpected,” as used in this definition, also refers to adverse events or suspected adverse 
reactions that are mentioned in the investigator brochure as occurring with a class of drugs or 
as anticipated from the pharmacological properties of the drug, but are not specifically 
mentioned as occurring with the particular drug under investigation.
Adverse events that would be anticipated to occur as part of the disease process are 
considered unexpected for the purposes of reporting because they would not be listed in the 
investigator brochure. For example, a certain number of non-acute deaths in a cancer trial 
would be anticipated as an outcome of the underlying disease, but such deaths would generally 
not be listed as a suspected adverse reaction in the investigator brochure.
Some adverse events are listed in the Investigator Brochure as occurring with the same class of 
drugs, or as anticipated from the pharmacological properties of the drug, even though they have 
not been observed with the drug under investigation. Such events would be considered 
unexpected until they have been observed with the drug under investigation. For example, 
although angioedema is anticipated to occur in some patients exposed to drugs in the ACE 
inhibitor class and angioedema would be described in the investigator brochure as a class 
effect, the first case of angioedema observed with the drug under investigation should be 
considered unexpected for reporting purposes.
6.2.5
Serious
An adverse event or suspected adverse reaction is considered serious if, in the view of either 
the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes:

Death

Life-threatening adverse event

Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the 
ability to conduct normal life function

Congenital anomaly/birth defect

Cancer
Important medical events that may not result in death, are life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, 
they may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to 
prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition. Examples of such medical events include 
allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood 
dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization, or the development of 
drug dependency or drug abuse.
6.2.6
Serious
An adverse event or suspected adverse reaction is considered life-threatening if, in the view of 
either the investigator or sponsor, its occurrence places the patient or subject at immediate risk 
of death. It does not include an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that, had it 
occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death.
6.3
Recording of an Adverse Event
All grade 3 and above adverse events will be entered into OnCore®, whether or not the event is 
believed to be associated with use of the IMP. Data about these events and their severity will be 
recorded using the NCI CTCAE v5.0.

Signs or symptoms reported as adverse events will be graded and recorded by the Investigator 
according to the CTCAE. When specific adverse events are not listed in the CTCAE they will be 
graded by the Investigator as none, mild, moderate or severe according to the following grades 
and definitions:
Grade 0
No AE (or within normal limits)
Grade 1
Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations 
only; intervention not indicated
Grade 2
Moderate; minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention (e.g., packing, 
cautery) indicated; limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily 
living (ADL)
Grade 3:
Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; 
hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting 
self- care ADL
Grade 4:
Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated
Grade 5:
Death related to AE
6.4
Follow-up of Adverse Events
All adverse events will be followed with appropriate medical management until resolved. 
Patients removed from study for unacceptable adverse events will be followed until resolution or 
stabilization of the adverse event. For selected adverse events for which administration of the 
investigational drug was stopped, a re-challenge of the subject with the investigational drug may 
be conducted if considered both safe and ethical by the Investigator.
6.5
Adverse Events Monitoring
All adverse events, whether or not unexpected, and whether or not considered to be associated 
with the use of the IMP, will be entered into OnCore®, as noted above.
The Investigator will assess all adverse events and determine reportability requirements to the 
UCSF Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) and UCSF’s Institutional Review Board; 
and, when the study is conducted under an Investigational New Drug Application (IND), to the 
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if it meets the FDA reporting criteria.
All adverse events entered into OnCore® will be reviewed by the Helen Diller Family 
Comprehensive Cancer Center Site Committee on a weekly basis. The Site Committee will

Phase I – 11C-YJH08
Page 28 of 39
review and discuss at each weekly meeting the selected toxicity, the toxicity grade, and the 
attribution of relationship of the adverse event to the administration of the IMP(s).
In addition, all adverse events and suspected adverse reactions considered “serious,” entered 
into OnCore® will be reviewed and monitored by the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee on 
an ongoing basis, discussed at DSMC meetings which take place every six (6) weeks. For a 
detailed description of the Data and Safety Monitoring Plan. 
6.6
Expedited Reporting
6.6.1
Reporting to the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee
If a death occurs during the treatment phase of the study or within 30 days after the last 
administration of the IMP(s) and it is determined to be related either to the IMP(s) or to a study 
procedure, the Investigator or his/her designee must notify the DSMC Chair (or qualified 
alternate) within 1 business day of knowledge of the event. The contact may be by phone or e- 
mail.
6.6.2
Reporting to UCSF Institutional Review Board
The Principal Investigator must report events meeting the UCSF IRB definition of “Unanticipated 
Problem” (UP) within 10 business days of his/her awareness of the event.
6.6.3
Expedited Reporting to the Food and Drug Administration
The Sponsor-Investigator is responsible for determining whether or not the suspected adverse 
reaction meets the criteria for expedited reporting in accordance with Federal Regulations (21 
CFR §312.32).
The Investigator must report in an IND safety report any suspected adverse reaction that is both 
serious and unexpected. The Sponsor-Investigator needs to ensure that the event meets all 
three definitions:

Suspected adverse reaction

Unexpected

Serious
If the adverse event does not meet all three of the definitions, it should not be submitted as an 
expedited IND safety report.
The timeline for submitting an IND safety report to FDA is no later than 15 calendar days after 
the Investigator determines that the suspected adverse reaction qualifies for reporting (21 CFR 
312.32(c)(1)).
Any unexpected fatal or life-threatening suspected adverse reaction will be reported to FDA no 
later than 7 calendar days after the Investigator’s initial receipt of the information (21 CFR 
312.32(c)(2)).
Any relevant additional information that pertains to a previously submitted IND safety report will 
be submitted to FDA as a Follow-up IND Safety Report without delay, as soon as the 
information is available (21 CFR 312.32(d)(2)).

Statistical Analysis
7.1
Imaging Analysis
A trained nuclear medicine physician will evaluate the reconstructed PET, CT or MRI, and fused 
PET/CT or PET/MR images using a PET volume computer-assisted reading software package. 
A positive lesion on PET will be defined as a focus of activity with at least 1.5 times higher SUV 
compared with mediastinal blood pool that is not attributable to other etiologies of tracer 
distribution (e.g. inflammation, excretion). A volume of interest (VOI) will be semiautomatically 
placed around each lesion, and the calculated maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) will be 
recorded for each lesion, including lesions that are detected on standard scans but are not 
positive on PET. Adjusted SUVmax data will then be averaged across all lesions within a given 
patient (SUVmax-avg). In order to avoid clustering effects, analysis will be limited to the five largest 
osseous metastases and all visceral/soft tissue metastases.
.
7.2
Determination of Sample Size
A convenience sample size of approximately 6 patients for Cohort A is selected to collect 
sufficient scan data to ensure adequate organ dosimetry and determination of the optimal 
uptake time following administration of 11C-YJH08. Additional patients may be accrued as 
necessary to optimize imaging acquisition parameters prior to proceeding to Cohort B and C 
enrollment. 
Success for Cohort A will be defined as technically successful injection of radiotracer with 
expected biodistribution and visualization of radiotracer uptake in the expected location of a 
metastasis based on conventional imaging in at least one patient. If no metastases are 
visualized despite varying uptake time and injected dose after 6 or more patients are enrolled in 
Cohort A, then accrual will not proceed to Cohorts B and C. 
For patients enrolled in Cohorts B and C, a convenience sample size of 10 evaluable patients 
per cohort is chosen to provide preliminary estimates of sensitivity of lesion detection on PET 
compared to conventional imaging.  We expect 20% inevaluable rate over the course of the 
study; we will recruit 12 patients in each cohort to achieve the target sample size.
7.3
Subject Characteristics
Demographic information (e.g., age, race, height, weight, and body mass index) will be 
summarized using descriptive statistics.
Concurrent medications will be recorded and coded using a standard classification system.
Disease factors for subjects accrued to the study will be characterized using descriptive 
statistics.
7.4
Replacement Policy
Patients may be replaced for the following reasons:

Inability to tolerate/complete baseline PET

Sub-optimal timing of post-injection PET scan compromising ability to detect 
metastatic lesions

Phase I – 11C-YJH08
Page 30 of 39
7.5
Accrual estimates
The estimated accrual period is approximately 36 months. 
7.6
Interim Analysis
An interim analysis for safety will be performed after 6 patients have enrolled to Cohort A. If 
more than 33% of patients experience a Grade ≥ 2 related adverse event, study accrual will be 
halted and alternative dose levels may be explored. 
An informal analysis to confirm feasibility will be performed after approximately 6 patients are 
enrolled on Cohort A. Images will be qualitatively reviewed and preliminary data with respect to 
signal-to-noise ratio within metastatic lesions will be assessed by body site. If it is determined 
that insufficient signal- to-noise ratio is present, additional patients may be accrued in Cohort A 
with proper technological adjustments (e.g. timing of post-injection scan acquisition, injected 
dose of radiotracer) to ensure optimal intra-tumoral uptake of tracer before proceeding to Cohort 
B and C enrollment. 
7.7
Analytic Plan
7.7.1
Analysis Population
All data from all subjects dosed in the study will be included in all listings, plots, summary tables, 
and statistical analyses when appropriate. Missing values will not be substituted by estimated 
values, but treated as missing in the statistical evaluation.
7.7.2
Primary Analysis
For Cohort A, Using as a cut-off to define a positive lesion on PET as a lesion with SUV at least 
1.5 times higher than mediastinal blood pool, the sensitivity of 11C-YJH08 PET will be 
descriptively reported on a lesion-per-lesion basis, using as reference standard staging scans 
including CT or MRI of the chest/abdomen/pelvis. 
 
For Cohorts B and C, the median percent change from baseline, and range of SUVmax (across 
all metastatic lesions per patient) and SUVmax-ave (in each study cohort) will be descriptively 
reported using mediastinal blood pool and normal organ as background uptake values. 
Wilcoxon signed rank test will be used to compare the follow up to baseline PET scan values at 
lesion level and patient level. 
7.7.3
Analysis of Secondary and Exploratory Endpoints
The frequency and severity of adverse events following 11C-YJH08 injection will be 
descriptively reported, using CTCAE v 5.0. Organ dosimetry on PET will be calculated using 
standard technique.
The median and range for intra-tumoral SUVmax within metastatic lesions will be descriptively 
reported to asses for intra-tumoral heterogeneity and differences in uptake by site of disease. 
For the purposes of analyzing the association between baseline and percent change from 
baseline in SUVmax-ave with subsequent clinical outcomes, the cohort will be dichotomized above 
and below the median for the study cohort.  The PSA response rate (PCWG3 criteria; Cohort B 
only), clinical benefit rate, and objective response rate (in subset of measurable tumors by 
RECIST 1.1) will be compared between dichotomized groups using the chi-squared test. The

Protocol CC#: 20926
Phase I – 11C-YJH08
Page 31 of 39
log rank test will be used to compare progression-free survival between dichotomized 
subgroups. 
For patients who undergo optional tumor biopsy with evaluable tumor content, the correlation 
between SUVmax of the target lesion on PET with GR expression by IHC (using H-score method) 
will computed using Pearson correlation method. Likewise, the correlation between SUVmax on 
PET with GR transcriptional signature activity by RNA-seq will be determined using Pearson 
correlation method when sufficient tumor content permits transcriptional analysis.
No adjustment will be made for multiple comparisons for the analysis of the secondary and 
exploratory endpoints.

Study Management
8.1
Pre-study Documentation
This study will be conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the 
Declaration of Helsinki as stated in 21 CFR §312.120(c)(4); consistent with GCP and all 
applicable regulatory requirements.
Before initiating this trial, the Investigator will have written and dated approval from the 
Institutional Review Board for the protocol, written informed consent form, subject recruitment 
materials, and any other written information to be provided to subjects before any protocol 
related procedures are performed on any subjects.
The Investigator must comply with the applicable regulations in Title 21 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (21 CFR §50, §54, and §312), GCP/ICH guidelines, and all applicable regulatory 
requirements. The IRB must comply with the regulations in 21 CFR §56 and applicable 
regulatory requirements.
The clinical investigation will not begin until either FDA has determined that the study under the 
Investigational Drug Application (IND) is allowed to proceed, or the Investigator has received a 
letter from FDA stating that the study is exempt from IND requirements.
8.2
Institutional Review Board Approval
The protocol, the proposed informed consent form, and all forms of participant information 
related to the study (e.g. advertisements used to recruit participants) will be reviewed and 
approved by the UCSF IRB. Prior to obtaining IRB approval, the protocol must be approved by 
the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center Site Committee and by the Protocol 
Review Committee (PRC). The initial protocol and all protocol amendments must be approved 
by the IRB prior to implementation.
8.3

8.4
Changes in the Protocol
Once the protocol has been approved by the UCSF IRB, any changes to the protocol must be 
documented in the form of an amendment. The amendment must be signed by the Investigator 
and approved by PRC and the IRB prior to implementation.
If it becomes necessary to alter the protocol to eliminate an immediate hazard to patients, an 
amendment may be implemented prior to IRB approval. In this circumstance, however, the 
Investigator must then notify the IRB according to institutional requirements. 
8.5
Handling and Documentation of Clinical Supplies
The Principal Investigator will maintain complete records showing the receipt, dispensation, 
return, or other disposition of all investigational drugs. The date, quantity and batch or code 
number of the drug, and the identification of patients to whom IMP has been dispensed by 
patient number and initials will be included. The sponsor- investigator will maintain written 
records of any disposition of the IMP. 
The Principal Investigator shall not make the investigational drug available to any individuals 
other than to qualified study patients. Furthermore, the Principal Investigator will not allow the 
investigational drug to be used in any manner other than that specified in this protocol.
8.6
Case Report Forms (CRFs)
The Principal Investigator and/or his/her designee will prepare and maintain adequate and 
accurate participant case histories with observations and data pertinent to the study. Study 
specific Case Report Forms (CRFs) will document safety and treatment outcomes for safety 
monitoring and data analysis. The Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) will complete the CRFs 
as soon as possible upon completion of the study visit; the Investigator will review and approve 
the completed CRFs.
The information collected on CRFs shall be identical to that appearing in original source 
documents. Source documents will be found in the patient’s medical records maintained by 
UCSF personnel. All source documentation should be kept in separate research folders for each 
patient.
In accordance with federal regulations, the Principal Investigator is responsible for the accuracy 
and authenticity of all clinical and laboratory data entered onto CRFs. The PI will approve all 
completed CRFs to attest that the information contained on the CRFs is true and accurate.
The Principal Investigator will be responsible for ensuring the accurate capture of study data. At 
study completion, when the CRFs have been declared to be complete and accurate, the 
database will be locked. Any changes to the data entered into the CRFs after that time can only 
be made by joint written agreement among the Study Chair, the Trial Statistician, and the 
Protocol Project Manager.
All source documentation and CTMS data will be available for review/monitoring by the UCSF 
DSMC and regulatory agencies.
8.7

Appendix 2 Data and Safety Monitoring Plan for a Non-therapeutic Institutional 
Trial
1.
Oversight and Monitoring Plan
The UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (HDFCCC) Data and Safety 
Monitoring Committee (DSMC) is responsible for monitoring data quality and participant 
safety for all HDFCCC institutional clinical trials. A summary of DSMC activities for this trial 
includes:

Annual auditing

Review of serious adverse events

Minimum of biennial regulatory auditing
The UCSF HDFCCC Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) is responsible for 
participant safety for all HDFCCC institutional clinical trials. Greater than minimal risk 
nontherapeutic studies are characterized as low risk studies due to the trial design, as there 
isn’t administration of drugs or complementary therapy that puts the participants at 
significant risk.
2.
Monitoring and Reporting Guidelines
Investigators will conduct a continuous review of data and participant safety at monthly site 
committee meetings where the status of each participant is discussed and documented in 
the site committee minutes.
For “greater than minimal risk” nontherapeutic trials, the assigned DSMC Senior 
Monitor/Auditor will audit three of the enrolled participants once per year, with a maximum of 
ten participant charts audited during the entire course of auditing this trial until IRB closure.
After completion of each auditing visit, the DSMC Monitor/Auditors will send a follow-up 
report to the study team within 20 business days after the auditing visit is complete for the PI 
and the study team to resolve all action items from this report within 20 business days. An 
abbreviated regulatory review (i.e., reviewing protocol and consent versions, SAEs, PVs, 
DOA logs, 1572 forms, etc.) will occur at each participant monitoring review; however, a full 
regulatory review will occur on a biennially basis by the DSMC for regulatory compliance.
Auditing of all enrolled participants in these trials will be complete after 10 enrolled 
participants have been audited. However, regulatory reviews of the trial, safety reviews (i.e., 
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) reviews and Protocol Violation (PV) reviews), and 
audit/inspection preparation (as applicable) will continue until the trial is closed by the IRB.
3.
Review and Oversight Requirements
3.1
Adverse Event Monitoring
All Grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs), whether or not considered expected or unexpected 
and whether or not considered associated with the study intervention or procedure, will 
be entered into OnCore®, UCSF’s Clinical Trial Management System.
Adverse events are graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (CTCAE) as developed and revised by the Common Therapy Evaluation 
Program (CTEP) of the National Cancer Institute. Adverse events are further given an 


UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
Version date: 04/24/2024
Protocol CC#: 20926

assignment of attribution or relationship to study intervention or procedure. Attribution 
categories are:

Definite – The adverse event is clearly related to the study intervention or 
procedure.

Probable – The adverse event is likely related to study intervention or procedure.

Possible – The adverse event may be related to study intervention or procedure.

Unrelated – the adverse event is clearly not related to the study intervention or 
procedure.
All clinically significant adverse events entered into OnCore® will be reviewed on a 
monthly basis at the Site Committee meetings.
3.2
Serious Adverse Event Reporting
By definition, an adverse event is defined as a serious adverse event (SAE) according to 
the following criteria:

Death,

Life-threatening adverse experience*,

Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,

Persistent or significant disability/incapacity,

Congenital anomaly/birth defect, or cancer, or 

Any other experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side 
effect, or precaution that may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 
one of the outcomes listed above,

Event that changes the risk/benefit ratio of a study.
*A life-threatening adverse experience is any AE that places the patient or subject, in the 
view of the investigator, at immediate risk of death from the reaction as it occurred, i.e., it 
does not include a reaction that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have 
caused death.
Serious adverse event reporting will be in accordance with all IRB regulations. For trials 
conducted under an investigational new drug (IND) application, the SAE will be reported 
in accordance with Code of Federal Regulation Title 21 Part 312.32 and will be reported 
on a Med Watch form.
UCSF IRB website for guidance in reporting serious adverse events:
https://irb.ucsf.edu/adverse-event 
Med Watch forms and information:
www.fda.gov/medwatch/getforms.htm 
All serious adverse events are entered into OnCore®, as well as submitted to the IRB. 
The SAEs are reviewed and monitored by the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee on 
an ongoing basis and discussed at DSMC meetings, which take place every six weeks. 


UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center
Version date: 04/24/2024
Protocol CC#: 20926
Phase I – 11C-YJH08
Page 39 of 39
The date the SAE was sent to all required reporting agencies will be documented in 
OnCore.
If a death occurs during the treatment phase of the study and is determined to be 
possibly, probably, or definitely related either to the study intervention or procedure, the 
Investigator or his/her designee must notify the DSMC Chair or Vice Chair and DSMC 
Director within one business day.
3.3

CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN A RESEARCH STUDY
Study Title: A First-in-Human, Phase 1 PET imaging Study of 11C-YJH08, a 
Selective Glucocorticoid Receptor-Targeting Agent, in Patients with 
Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies
Principal Investigator:
Rahul Aggarwal, MD 
Associate Professor of Medicine
University of California San Francisco
This is a clinical research study.  Your study doctors, Spencer Behr, MD, from the 
UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, and Rahul Aggarwal, MD, 
from the UCSF Department of Genitourinary Medical Oncology or one of their 
associates, will explain the study to you.
Research studies include only people who choose to take part. It is your choice whether 
or not you want to take part in this study. Please take your time to make a decision 
about participating. You can discuss your decision with your family, friends, and health 
care team. 
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have advanced hormone-
resistant prostate cancer.
STUDY SUMMARY
Introduction: The first part of this consent form gives you a summary of this study. We 
will give you more details about the study later in this form. The study team will also 
explain the study to you and answer any questions you have.
Purpose of the study:  This is called a “first in human” study because it is the first time 
11C-YJH08 will be given to humans. This means that the safety and risk information we 
have is based on how animals have reacted to 11C-YJH08. 
11C-YJH08 is a small-molecule radiotracer that binds to glucocorticoid receptors (GR) so 
that they show up better on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan.
The researchers want to see if PET imaging using 11C-YJH08 can be useful for 
detecting GR expression in cancer cells. 
Study Procedures: If you choose to be in this study, you will undergo a Positron 
Emission Tomography (PET) imaging with an 11C-YJH08 injection. For this imaging, you

will receive an injection of 11C-YJH08, and a PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan will be 
performed 10-60 minutes afterward. The scan will last for about 90 minutes.  You may 
have either PET/CT or PET/MR with 11C-YJH08 injection, but whichever combination of 
the scan you have at baseline must remain consistent throughout your participation in 
this study (in other words, if you underwent PET/CT at baseline, you should have the 
same type of scan throughout the study).
There are 3 study groups – Group A, B and C. The study will begin enrolling participants 
in Group A to receive an 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan at a single time 
point. After Group A has finished enrolling, participants will enroll in Group B and C to 
receive an 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan at 2 time points. Participants in 
Groups A, B and C may choose to have an optional tumor biopsy within 14 days after 
baseline PET imaging. The study doctor will let you know which group you will be in. 
More information about the 3 different study groups is detailed below.
Your study participation will either end after completing the 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or 
PET/MR) imaging or after the optional tumor biopsy for your study group.
Possible Risks: There are risks to taking part in a research study. The rare but serious 
risk of participation includes:

All body allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis may occur. Anaphylaxis causes 
your immune system to release a flood of chemicals that can cause you to go 
into shock — your blood pressure drops suddenly and your airways narrow, 
blocking breathing. Signs and symptoms include a rapid, weak pulse; 
a skin rash; and nausea and vomiting.
Possible Benefits: There will be no direct benefit to you from participating in this study. 
However, this study will help doctors learn more about 11C-YJH08 PET imaging, and it 
is hoped that this information will help in the treatment of future patients with solid tumor 
that has spread to the liver. 
Your Other Options: You do not have to participate in this study. Your other choices 
may include:

Having a regular PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan that does not use 11C-YJH08

Not having 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan

Taking part in another study
Please talk to your doctor about your choices before agreeing to participate in this 
study.
Following is a more complete description of this study. Please read this description 
carefully. You can ask any questions you want to help you decide whether to join the 
study. If you join this study, we will give you a signed copy of this form to keep for future 
reference.

DETAILED STUDY INFORMATION
This part of the consent form gives you more detailed information about what the study 
involves.
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have advanced hormone-
resistant prostate cancer.  
Why is this study being done?
The purpose of this study is to determine if Positron Emission Tomography (PET) 
imaging using 11C-YJH08 can be useful for detecting glucocorticoid receptor (GR) 
expression in cancer cells, Anti-androgen therapy (including enzalutamide) can cause 
more GR to be produced in cancer cells, which can make the cancer cells resist 
hormone therapies. If we can find a better way to detect whether GR is increasing 
during therapy, it may lead to more successful therapies using GR antagonists. 
11C-YJH08 is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a radiotracer 
for PET imaging. The use of 11C-YJH08 in this study is investigational.
The National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Department of Defense (DoD) 
are providing funding to support the conduct of the study.
How many people will take part in this study?
About 26 people will take part in this study in 1 of 3 groups. Group A will enroll about 6 
patients; Groups B and C will enroll about 10 patients in each Group.
What will happen if I take part in this research study?
This study has 3 groups. If you participate in this study, you will be in either Group A. 
Group B, or Group C.  The study will begin enrolling participants in Group A to receive 
an 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan at a single time point. After Group A has 
finished enrolling, participants will enroll in Group B or C to receive an 11C-YJH08 PET 
(PET/CT or PET/MR) scan at 2 time points. You may have either PET/CT or PET/MR 
with 11C-YJH08 injection, but whichever combination of the scan you have at baseline 
must remain consistent throughout your participation in this study (in other words, if you 
underwent PET/CT at baseline, you should have the same type of scan throughout the 
study).  The study doctor will let you know which group you will be in. 
Group A: The study will begin enrolling in Group A. Participants in Group A have any 
solid tumor that has gotten worse (progressed) after receiving treatment with systemic 
therapies like enzalutamide, apalutamide or darolutamide outside of this study. After 
enrollment, Group A participants will have an 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) 
scan at a single time point.

After Group A completes enrollment, the study will enroll participants in Groups B and 
C.
Group B: Participants in Group B have advanced hormone-resistant prostate cancer 
and have started treatment with systemic therapies outside of this study. Participants in 
Group B will undergo two 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scans: One  will be 
done at the beginning of the study, and the second 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or 
PET/MR) scan will be done if your disease gets worse (progresses).  Each 11C-YJH08 
PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan will be done while receiving systemic therapies. You 
are to continue systemic therapies until all the 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) 
scans are completed.
Group C: Participants in Group C have any solid tumor other than prostate adenocarcinoma. 
Participants in Group C will undergo two 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scans.  One  will 
be done at the beginning of the study, and the second 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) 
scan will be done if your disease gets worse (progresses). 
Before you begin the main part of the study:
After you have signed this consent, the screening tests listed below will be done within 
28 days except for staging scans, which need to be completed within 12 weeks of 
baseline PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan, and may be completed on the same day as 
your baseline PET ((PET/CT or PET/MR) scan. You will need to complete the following 
tests and procedures before you can be in the main part of the study. Some of these 
tests and procedures are part of regular cancer care and may be done even if you do 
not join the study. If you have had some of them recently, they may not need to be 
repeated. This will be up to your study doctor.

You will be asked about your current medical condition and past illnesses.

Your vital signs (heart rate and blood pressure) will be measured.

You will be asked about any medications you are taking (including over-the-counter 
medications and supplements).

You will be asked about any side effects, you are having.

Your demographic information (age, race, height, weight, and body mass index) will 
be collected.

You will have staging scans. A CT or MRI (with contrast if medically permitted) 
scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.
o
CT scan: A CT scan uses special x-ray equipment to make detailed 
pictures of body tissues and organs. For the CT scan, you may be given a 
“contrast material” (a special dye that makes it easier for doctors to see 
different tissues in your body). The contrast material may be given orally, 
intravenously, or rectally (less likely). Oral contrast material is given to you 
to drink and is used to help outline the stomach and intestines. 
Intravenous (IV) contrast material is given to you by injecting the contrast 
material into a line that is attached to a needle in your arm and is used to 
get clearer pictures of your body cavity. A rectal contrast fills up the loops

of your lower bowel so the doctors can see your tumor better. After you 
have been given the contrast material (either by mouth, by vein, or 
rectum), you will lie flat on a table that will move you into the CT scan 
machine. You will be asked to lie still and may be asked to hold your 
breath for a few seconds. The CT scan is done in the radiology 
department and takes about half an hour.
o
MRI scan: An MRI scan takes an image of your head or body to observe 
the location and size of your tumor. For the MRI scan, you may be given a 
“contrast material” (a special dye that makes it easier for doctors to see 
different tissues in your body). Gadolinium is contrast material that causes 
some tumors to appear much brighter than normal tissue on MRI scans 
(these tumors may not be visible without gadolinium). The contrast 
material may be given to you in your arm through an intravenous catheter 
(a tiny tube inserted into a vein). You will then lie down on a narrow bed 
which will be placed in a tunnel that is 6 feet long by 22 inches wide and 
open at each end. You will lie there quietly for about 1 hour, during which 
time you will hear a loud machine-like noise. The MRI scan is done in the 
radiology department and takes approximately an hour and a half to 
complete.

You will be asked about your ability to perform daily tasks such as dressing 
yourself and getting out of bed.

About 2-3 tablespoons of blood will be collected to test for:
o
Complete blood count (CBC) with differential and platelet count
o
Serum Creatinine 
o
Total Bilirubin
o
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
o
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
o
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
o
Serum Testosterone 
During the main part of the study:
If the tests and procedures show that you can be in the main part of the study, and you 
choose to take part, then the following will occur: 
Visit 1, Baseline 11C-YJH08 PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) scan
o
11C-YJH08 Administration: A nuclear medicine technologist who specializes in 
PET scanning will administer a single dose of 11C-YJH08 intravenously (IV) in 
your arm using a small needle or plastic tube. The infusion will take 1-2 minutes. 
o
Vitals: Before and after you have your 11C-YJH08 injection, your vital signs 
(heart rate and blood pressure) will be measured. About 60 minutes after your

11C-YJH08 injection, your vital signs (heart rate and blood pressure) will be 
measured. Then at 2 hours after your 11C-YJH08 injection, your vital signs (heart 
rate and blood pressure) will be measured.
o
AE Assessment: About 60 minutes after your 11C-YJH08 injection, you will be 
asked about any side effects, you are having. Then about 2 hours and again at 
24 hours after your 11C-YJH08 injection, you will be asked about any side effects, 
you are having.
o
EKG/ECG: Before you have your 11C-YJH08 injection and 2 hours after your 11C-
YJH08 injection, you will have an electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) performed. 
EKG/ECG records the electrical activity of your heart. Wires or “leads” will be 
attached to your chest with an adhesive, and you will be asked to lie still while 
the machine prints out an electrical “record” of your heart activity. This takes 
about 15-30 minutes.
o
Follow-up visit: Following 1 day after your 11C-YJH08 injection, you will ask to 
return to your doctor’s office. During this office visit, you will be asked about any 
side effects, you are having. You will also have about 2-3 tablespoons of blood 
collected to test for: 

Complete blood count (CBC) with differential and platelet count

Serum Creatinine 

Total Bilirubin

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
Group B and C only – at time of disease progression: 
You will have a second 11C-YJH08 PET scan, as described above. 
Study location: 
All study procedures will be done at the UCSF Mission Bay campus.  PET imaging and 
11C-YJH08 injection will be done at the UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical 
Imaging at China Basin. 
How long will I be in the study?
If you are in Group A, your participation will end after 11C-YJH08 baseline imaging is 
completed and any optional tumor biopsy you agreed to have is performed.
If you are in Group B or C, you will be followed on the study until your cancer gets 
worse (progresses), and your study participation will end after your second 11C-YJH08 
imaging is completed, and any optional tumor biopsy you agreed to have is performed.

Can I stop being in the study?
Yes. You can decide to stop at any time. Tell the study doctor if you are thinking about 
stopping or decide to stop. He will tell you how to stop your participation safely. 
It is important to tell the study doctor if you are thinking about stopping so any risks from 
the 11C-YJH08 injection can be evaluated by your doctor and you can discuss what 
follow-up care and testing could be most helpful.
The study doctor may stop you from taking part in this study at any time if he believes it 
is in your best interest, if you do not follow the study rules, or if the study is stopped.
What side effects or risks can I expect from being in the study?
You may have side effects while on the study. Everyone taking part in the study will be 
watched carefully for any side effects. However, doctors don't know all the side effects 
that may happen.  Side effects may be mild or very serious. Your health care team may 
give you medicines to help lessen side effects. Many side effects go away soon after 
you stop getting 11C-YJH08 injection. In some cases, side effects can be serious, long 
lasting, or may never go away. There also is a risk of death.
You should talk to your study doctor about any side effects, you experience while taking 
part in the study.
Risk and side effects related to 11C-YJH08 injection
Rare but serious 
All-body allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis may occur. Anaphylaxis causes your 
immune system to release a flood of chemicals that can cause you to go into shock — 
your blood pressure drops suddenly and your airways narrow, blocking breathing. Signs 
and symptoms include a rapid, weak pulse; a skin rash; and nausea and vomiting.
Risks related to Study Procedures
Blood drawing (venipuncture) risks:  Drawing blood may cause temporary discomfort 
from the needle stick, bruising, infection, and fainting.
CT scan risks: CT scans involve the risks of radiation. In addition, if contrast material 
(iodine dye) is used, there is a slight risk of developing an allergic reaction, from mild 
(itching, rash) to severe (difficulty breathing, shock, or rarely, death). The contrast 
material may also cause kidney problems, especially if you are dehydrated or have poor 
kidney function. The study doctors will ask you about any allergies or related conditions 
before the procedure. If you have any of these problems, you may not be allowed to 
have a CT scan.

Having a CT scan may mean some added discomfort for you. In particular, you may be 
bothered by feelings of claustrophobia when placed inside the CT scanner, or by lying in 
one position for a long time. If contrast material is used, you may feel discomfort when it 
is injected into your vein. You may feel warm and flushed and get a metallic taste in 
your mouth. Rarely, the contrast material may cause nausea, vomiting, or a headache.
Contrast agent (gadolinium) risks: A few side effects of gadolinium injection such as 
mild headache, nausea, and local pain may occur. Rarely (less than 1% of the time) low 
blood pressure and lightheadedness occur. This can be treated immediately with 
intravenous fluids. Very rarely (less than 1 in 1,000), patients are allergic to gadolinium. 
These effects are most commonly hives and itchy eyes, but more severe reactions have 
been seen which result in shortness of breath.
Patients with severe kidney disease sometimes have a bad reaction to gadolinium 
contrast. The condition is called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). It can cause skin 
to tighten or scar and can damage internal organs. Sometimes it can be life-threatening. 
There are no reports of NSF in patients with normal kidney function. Before you have an 
MRI scan requiring an injection of gadolinium contrast, you will have a blood test to 
check the function of your kidneys. Based on your medical history and the results of the 
test, your doctor will decide whether it is safe for you to undergo the MRI scans.
Radiation risks: This research study exposes you to radiation. Some or all of this 
radiation is only for research purposes. Typically (in the U.S.) we receive about 3 mSv 
(millisieverts) of radiation from the environment each year. The additional radiation you 
will receive by participating in this study (in any 12 months) is approximately 35.76 mSv, 
or 12 times the normal yearly exposure. We don’t know for certain whether this much 
additional radiation increases the risk you will develop a cancer in the future. If you have 
had a lot of x-rays, or other procedures involving radiation, you should discuss the risk 
with the physician conducting the study, or your regular doctor. You should consider 
whether the additional risk of study radiation is acceptable to you. Due to risk to the 
fetus, if you are pregnant or breast feeding, you should not participate in this study. If 
you have any questions about the radiation used in this study, or the risks involved, 
please consult the physician conducting the study.
PET/CT scan risks:  The PET/CT scan exposes your body to radiation, see radiation 
risk above.  The radiation levels come from a tracer which is a radioactive chemical 
injected into a vein in your arm.  The tracer lets the doctor see how your cells are 
functioning.  For some patients, having to lie still on the scanning table for the length of 
the procedure may cause some discomfort or pain.  After the scan, your arm may be a 
little bit sore or have some redness where the IV was placed in your arm.  The 
radioactive solution does not remain in your system for a long period of time.
MRI risks: Because the MRI machine acts like a large magnet, it could move iron-
containing objects in the MRI room during your examination, which in the process could 
possibly harm you.  Precautions have been taken to prevent such an event from 
happening; loose metal objects, like pocket knives or key chains, are not allowed in the

MRI room.  If you have a piece of metal in your body, such as a fragment in your eye, 
aneurysm clips, ear implants, spinal nerve stimulators, or a pacemaker, you will not be 
allowed into the MRI room and cannot have an MRI.
Having an MRI may mean some added discomfort for you.  In particular, you may be 
bothered by feelings of claustrophobia and by the loud banging noise during the study.  
Temporary hearing loss has been reported from this loud noise.  This is why you will be 
asked to wear earplugs.  At times during the test, you may be asked to not swallow for a 
while, which can be uncomfortable.
Conscious sedation risks: If sedation medication is given for an MRI scan, it will be 
given through an IV or by mouth. You may feel pain from the initial needle stick. 
Possible bruising from where the needle went into the skin may occur, as well as rarely, 
an allergic reaction to the medication. Vomiting or inhaling food contents from the 
stomach are also risks of sedation. These risks are minimized if you do not eat for a 
minimum of 6-8 hours before any procedure.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) risks: The ECG involves placing electrodes on the skin. 
You may experience an allergic reaction to the adhesive used to attach the electrodes 
to the skin. These symptoms are generally mild and clear up on their own. Please let 
the study doctor know if you are aware of any allergies you have.
Unknown Risks: The experimental imaging agent may have side effects that no one 
knows about yet. The researchers will let you know if they learn anything that might 
make you change your mind about participating in the study. Additionally, if the study 
doctors observe any abnormal findings during the research images, they will inform your 
primary physician.

For more information about risks and side effects, ask your study doctor.
Are there benefits to taking part in the study?
There will be no direct benefit to you from participating in this study.  However, this 
study will help doctors learn more about 11C-YJH08 PET imaging, and it is hoped that 
this information will help in the treatment of future patients with cancer like yours.
What other choices do I have if I do not take part in this study?
Your other choices may include:

Having a regular PET scan that does not use 11C-YJH08

Not having a PET scan

Taking part in another study

Not participating in any study

How will my specimens and information be used?  
Researchers will use your specimens and information to conduct this study. Once the 
study is done using your specimens and information, we may share them with other 
researchers so they can use them for other cancer studies in the future. We will not 
share your name or any other personal information that would let the researchers know 
who you are. We will not ask you for additional permission to share the de-identified 
information and specimens.
Your specimens will be stored in a repository, also called a ‘tissue bank’, at UCSF. The 
manager of the tissue bank and select tissue bank staff members will have access to 
your specimens and information about you, but they will not release any identifying 
information about you to researchers using your specimens. We may give your 
specimens and certain medical information about you (for example, diagnosis, blood 
pressure, age if less than 85) to other scientists or companies not at UCSF, including to 
an unrestricted or controlled-access government health research database, but we will 
not give them your name, address, phone number, or any other identifiable information.  
Your specimens and information will be kept indefinitely until they are used up or 
destroyed.  
Research results from these studies will not be returned to you and will not be put in 
your medical record. The research will not change the care you receive.
Researchers may use your specimens to look at all of your DNA (this is called ‘whole 
genome sequencing”). DNA contains information that determines things like eye color, 
height, or disease risk that are passed on from parent to child. Genetic information (also 
known as genotype data) and the medical record data (also known as phenotype data) 
may be shared broadly in a coded form for future genetic research or analysis.
Donating data may involve a loss of privacy, but information about you will be handled 
as confidentially as possible. Study data will be physically and electronically secured. As 
with any use of electronic means to store data, there is a risk of breach of data security.  
Genetic information that results from this study does not have medical or treatment 
importance at this time.  However, there is a risk that information about taking part in a 
genetic study may influence insurance companies and/or employers regarding your 
health.  Taking part in a genetic study may also have a negative impact or unintended 
consequences on family or other relationships.  It is possible that future research could 
one day help people of the same race, ethnicity, or sex as you.  However, it is also 
possible through these kinds of studies that genetic traits might come to be associated 
with your group.  In some cases, this could reinforce harmful stereotypes.
There will be no direct benefit to you from allowing your data to be kept and used for 
future research. However, we hope we will learn something that will contribute to the 
advancement of science and understanding of health and disease. If the data or any 
new products, tests, or discoveries that result from this research have potential 
commercial value, you will not share in any financial benefits.

and any remaining data will be destroyed.  However, we cannot retract any data that 
has been shared with other researchers. 
How will information about me be kept confidential?
Participation in research involves some loss of privacy.  We will do our best to make 
sure that information about you is kept confidential, but we cannot guarantee total 
privacy.  Some information from your medical records will be collected and used for this 
study.  If you do not have a UCSF medical record, one will be created for you.  Your 
signed consent form and some of your research tests will be added to your UCSF 
medical record.  Therefore, people involved with your future care and insurance may

Are there any costs to me for taking part in this study?
Two types of procedures will be done during this study. Some are part of your standard 
medical care and others are only for research. You or your insurer will be billed for the 
standard medical care. You will be responsible for your co-pays, deductibles, and any 
other charges that your insurer will not pay. There is a possibility that your insurer may 
not cover all standard medical care costs if you are receiving medical services out of 
network. Any procedures done only for research will not be charged to you or your 
insurer.

OPTIONAL RESEARCH PARTICIPATION
This section of the informed consent is about optional future contact of 
participants in the main study. You can still be in the main study even if you say 
"no" to allowing optional future contact.
1. Tumor Biopsy
We want to know if you are willing to have an optional tumor biopsy within 14 days after 
baseline imaging. If you agree, your tumor tissue will be sent to a UCSF laboratory to 
test for certain proteins. The purpose of the biopsy is to see if there are associations 
between protein levels in your tumor tissue and 11C-YJH08 PET imaging findings.
A biopsy involves removing a small piece of the tumor tissue, usually with a needle.  A 
CT scan or ultrasound may be used to help guide the needle. This procedure will be 
done at the site where we can most easily get a piece of the tumor and can involve the 
lungs, liver, bone, lymph node, skin, or other area. The biopsy needle will be inserted 
into tumor tissue and a small piece of the tumor will be removed.  This will be 1-3 times. 
This procedure takes about 30 minutes. You will sign a separate consent form for this 
procedure.
Benefits
There will be no direct benefit to you from having optional tumor biopsies for the study.  
Information from tumor tissue will be used to better evaluate the use of the 11C-YJH08 
PET (PET/CT or PET/MR) imaging method for future patients.
Risks
The biopsy has small but serious risks. While we make every effort to minimize the pain 
related to the procedure, the procedure is usually uncomfortable and sometimes painful. 
Wherever the biopsy is done in your body, it can lead to bleeding in that area, damage 
to organs near where the biopsy is done, or infection. While it is uncommon, sometimes 
bleeding or pain from the biopsy will require you to stay overnight in the hospital or 
require you to go to the operating room to control any bleeding. We check your 
laboratory values before the biopsy to make sure that the procedure is as safe as

possible and to minimize your chance of having a complication. Additionally, if the 
biopsy involves the lungs, it can cause the lungs to deflate and if this occurs, you might 
require treatment to correct this. We try to take as little tissue as possible when we do 
the biopsy, and this means that sometimes the biopsy procedure can be unsuccessful 
and require a repeat biopsy to get enough tissue. Other potential risks will be described 
to you and discussed with you by the doctors who conduct this biopsy. If a CT-guided 
tumor localization is necessary, there will be additional radiation exposure. (See 
Radiation Risks in the main part of the consent form).
2. Future Contact 
We want to know if we may contact you in the future to see if you are interested in 
participating in other research studies.
If you agree and we contact you to tell you about a study, you have no obligation to 
actually participate in any study. You can decide when you are told about the study if 
you want to receive more information about the study. There would be a new consent 
process for that study. 
If at any time you decide you no longer want to be contacted about future studies, 
please let us know 
. 
Making Your Choice
Please read the sentence below and mark your choice by putting your initials in the 
"Yes" or "No" box.  If you have any questions, please talk to your doctor or nurse, or call 
our research review board at 415-476-1814.
No matter what you decide to do, it will not affect your care or your participation in the 
main study.
