Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 to 90 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Eligible patients will be offered enrollment if the time interval between initial diagnosis and surgery allows for performance of the PEM studies with both F18 FDG and F-18 FES, and they meet the following criteria:
  • Postmenopausal women, as defined by
  • Lack of menstrual periods for ≥ 12 months

Who cannot join

  • Patients are excluded if they meet any of the following criteria:
  • Premenopausal
  • Unable to undergo PEM scanning (weight limit of 300 lbs. on PEM system or inability to lie prone for 30 minutes)

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Heterogeneity of Estrogen Receptor Expression in Patients With Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer Using F-18 Fluoroestradiol and High Resolution Positron Emission Mammography

The primary objective of this study is to determine the correlation between the distribution of F-18 FES within ER+ breast tumors as seen on Positron Emission Mammography (PEM) images of the breast, and the distribution of cells stained ER+ within the tumor by immunohistochemistry (IHC) measurements at surgical pathology. The secondary aim is to determine if the correlation (or lack of) between F-18 FES uptake and F-18 FDG uptake as imaged by PEM, is an accurate representation of the heterogeneity of ER expression in the tumor.

Read the detailed description

This pilot study will recruit up to 20 patients with newly diagnosed ER+ breast cancer who have recently undergone or are scheduled to undergo a clinically-indicated breast MRI examination and are scheduled for surgical excision of the breast cancer. All patients will undergo two PEM studies, one with F-18 FDG and the second with F-18 FES. As F-18 FES is not an FDA-approved radiopharmaceutical, this FES study will be performed under an investigator IND cross-referenced to the National Cancer Institute IND 79,005 for F-18 FES. A time interval of 6-8 hours will be required between performance of the F-18 FDG study and the F-18 FES study. All patients will have the 2 PEM studies within 30 business days of the clinically indicated MRI. See Study Schema shown below. Subjects must meet the following eligibility criteria:

  1. Postmenopausal women, as defined by a. Lack of menstrual periods for ≥ 12 months b. For women with prior hysterectomy and age < 60, a serum FSH level within the postmenopausal range
  2. Histologic proof of invasive breast carcinoma that is ER positive per ASCO/CAP guidelines (staining in ≥ 1% of cells by immunohistochemistry)
  3. Extent of disease confirmed, or to be confirmed, on a clinical contrast-enhanced breast MRI examination
  4. Minimum size criteria for index cancer of 10 mm as measured on mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI.
  5. Planned surgical excision of the breast cancer at Mayo Clinic, Rochester

Study participants will be consented prior to undergoing the PEM studies. The order in which the PEM and MRI studies are performed will NOT be randomized, and will be dictated by patient schedule. Co-registration of the PEM images from F-18 FDG and F-18 FES will be used to assess the heterogeneity of uptake of the F-18 FES relative to that of F-18 FDG. Heterogeneity of ER expression in the tumor will be determined by immunohistochemistry on the pathologic tissue and findings will then be correlated with the ratio of activity in the co-registered images of F-18 FES and F-18 FDG. An integrated interpretation of the MRI and PEM images will be performed to match lesions seen on the three scans and will be made available to the ordering physician and surgeon.

What is being measured

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

  1. correlation of FES and estrogen receptors

    The primary objective of this study is to determine the correlation between F-18 FES uptake on PEM, and distribution of ER+ tissue on pathology

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing F-18 FES and F-18 FDG in people with Breast Neoplasm, run by Mayo Clinic 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 8 inclusion and 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2019. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

correlation of FES and estrogen receptors (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 May 2019.
