Trial summary

Some breast cancer cells make a protein called Human Epidermal Growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Patients with HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer receive medicine that attacks HER2, which helps these patients live longer. Read more about this study

About this study

Some breast cancer cells make a protein called Human Epidermal Growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Patients with HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer receive medicine that attacks HER2, which helps these patients live longer. Some HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer patients also benefit from medicines that attack HER2, but we do not know why or which patients will benefit. This study uses a new imaging method, HER2-targeted PET/CT, to identify patients that may benefit from medicines that attack HER2. This is experimental.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HER2-targeted PET/CTExperimentalPts with confirmed HER2- breast cancer will then undergo HER2-targeted PET/CT. 89Zr-trastuzumab is a novel radiotracer which allows excellent visualization of HER2+ lesions. 89Zr-pertuzumab is a novel radiotracer which may allow for specific visualization of HER2+ lesions. PET/CT imaging with these novel radiotracers will allow evaluation of all identifiable malignant lesions, rather than evaluation of only single lesions by biopsy. Avid lesions will be considered suspicious for HER2+ malignancy. Pts with at least one 89Zr-trastuzumab or 89Zr-pertuzumab avid lesion will be biopsied to confirm HER2+ pathology. From these 50 pts, we will determine the proportion of HER2- primary breast cancer pts that express HER2+ malignancy imagable by HER2-targeted PET/CT. Pts recruited to the protocol, but then drop out prior to HER2-targeted PET/CT due HER2+ disease being identified on retesting of the patient's archived tissue samples, will be replaced with newly recruited pts.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Patients With HER2- Primary Breast Cancer Who Develop Imagable HER2+ Metastases

    Both SUVmax and SUVpeak will be recorded for lesions, and SUVmax and SUVaverage will be recorded for background measurements. Only those foci qualitatively scored conspicuously positive by both readers (scores of 4 or 5) will be considered as "positive".

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 89Zr-trastuzumab, PET/CT scan and 89Zr-pertuzumab in people with Breast Cancer Metastases and HER2 Positive Breast, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jun 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Patients With HER2- Primary Breast Cancer Who Develop Imagable HER2+ Metastases (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02286843, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jun 2021.
