Trial summary

The prevalence of HER2 alterations in pan-cancer indicates a broader range of application of HER2-targeted therapies. immunohistochemistry (IHC) or amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is currently the most commonly used method for evaluation of HER-2 status in cancer patients.

About this study

The prevalence of HER2 alterations in pan-cancer indicates a broader range of application of HER2-targeted therapies. immunohistochemistry (IHC) or amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is currently the most commonly used method for evaluation of HER-2 status in cancer patients. However, biopsies are spatiotemporally limited because of the highly heterogeneous expression of HER2. Patients with false-negative HER2 results may miss the chance for targeted therapy. Additionally, the HER2 status can change during the disease process.

A investigational imaging tracer named 68Ga-HER2 Affibody binds to HER-2 receptors. Previous studies in human have shown the efficacy of 68Ga-HER2 Affibody in detecting HER2 positive breast cancer and gastric cancer without any observed toxicity. However, studies are still insufficient and limited to breast cancer and gastric cancer.

The investigators hypothesized that 68Ga-HER2 Affibody PET imaging can noninvasively assess HER2 status in metastatic or recurrent solid tumors including breast cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, head and neck squamous tumors, bladder cancer, lung cancer and uterine tumors lesion. In this study, efficacy of 68Ga-HER2 Affibody in detecting HER2 positive cancer lesions and change of patient management based on 68Ga-HER2 Affibody PET will be determined.

The prevalence of HER2 alterations in pan-cancer indicates a broader range of application of HER2-targeted therapies. Tumors including breast cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, head and neck squamous tumors, bladder cancer, lung cancer and uterine tumors exhibited high HER2 indices together with HER2 amplification or overexpression, which may benefit from HER2-targeted therapies.

immunohistochemistry (IHC) or amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is currently the most commonly used method for evaluation of HER-2 status in cancer patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HER2-Positive Cancer, run by Tongji Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2023. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact ZHU XIAOHUA, DR (13971513770 ext. 18012908238, evazhu@vip.sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

SUVmax (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT05535621, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Feb 2023.
