An Investigational Scan (64Cu-DOTA-Trastuzumab PET/MRI) in Imaging Patients With HER2+ Breast Cancer With Brain Metastasis

Study Purpose

This clinical trial examines an investigational scan (64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab positron emission tomography [PET]/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) in imaging patients with HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastasis). Diagnostic procedures, such as 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET/MRI, may help find HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain and determine whether cancer in the brain takes up trastuzumab, which may predict for response to trastuzumab deruxtecan (the standard of care chemotherapy).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05376878
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  • I. Evaluate the feasibility of 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET imaging in patients with HER2+ breast cancer metastatic to the brain.
  • II. Evaluate if HER2+ breast cancer patients with brain metastasis who are responders to fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan have higher maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) (minimum over all lesions in the brain) than non-responders.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
  • I. Evaluate if the minimum SUVmax of all quantifiable lesions in a given patient is associated with time to progression in the brain.
OUTLINE: Patients receive trastuzumab intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes on day 0. Patients then receive 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab IV and then undergo PET/MRI scan on day 1. Patients undergo repeat brain MRI every 6 weeks for 24 weeks and then every 9 weeks until disease progression. Patients then receive trastuzumab deruxtecan IV every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
