Overview

This is a phase 4, multi-center, open-label, prospective cohort study to evaluate the clinical utility of Fluoroestradiol F18 (Cerianna) PET/CT to guide therapeutic management in ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients with progressive disease on first-line standard-of-care hormonal therapy. All patients will undergo a Cerianna PET/CT scan. The treating physician will complete a standardized questionnaire to indicate the second-line therapeutic management plan before the scheduled Cerianna PET/CT. After interpretation of Cerianna PET/CT by local radiologist or nuclear medicine physician, the treating physician will fill out a similar questionnaire to specify the final therapeutic decision. The proportion of patients with a change in therapeutic management plan based on Cerianna PET/CT results will be the primary endpoint. During the study follow-up period of 18 months, data on standard-of-care imaging, treatments/procedures received, and clinical outcomes will be collected. Patients will be asked to complete a health-related quality of life questionnaire at their screening, 6-month, and 18-month visit. Secondary endpoints include visual and quantitative heterogeneity assessment of tumor Cerianna uptake, and PFS rates at 6 months and 18 months after Cerianna PET/CT, which will be assessed between patients with and without a change in therapeutic management plan. Maximum duration of follow-up for each patient: 20 months. First patient first visit to last patient last visit: estimated 36 months.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient must sign informed consent prior to enrollment in this trial
  • The patient is a female ≥18 years old
  • Post-menopausal or pre-menopausal patient with known primary breast tumor(s) expressing ER in ≥1% of tumor cells by IHC
  • HER2-negative (0, 1+, 2+ fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) negative) primary lesion
  • MBC with at least 1 identifiable lesion on standard-of-care imaging assessment, outside of the liver, as confirmed by the investigator site
  • Patient with progressive disease on 1st line hormonal therapy (Aromatase Inhibitor) with or without a CDK4/6 inhibitor or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor or phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) inhibitor
  • Patient must score at least 0, 1 or 2 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status
  • Life expectancy of at least 12 months
  • The patient is planned to undergo a standard-of-care imaging scan (according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines, e.g., CT and/or bone scan, or fluorodeoxyglucose [FDG]-PET/CT) covering chest, abdomen, and pelvis after date of consent and before Cerianna PET/CT (Visit 2), or the patient has undergone recent standard-of-care imaging before date of consent and is planned to undergo Cerianna PET/CT (Visit 2) no more than 45 days from the standard-of-care imaging scan

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Isolated hepatic metastases (taking into account the physiological hepatic high uptake of Cerianna)
  • Patient is on tamoxifen/toremifene treatment without 8-week washout, or on fulvestrant treatment without 28-week washout, (may block ER) before Cerianna PET/CT
  • Other evolutive malignant disease (non-melanoma skin cancer is allowed) or acute or chronic infectious disease (well-controlled infectious disease is allowed);
  • Patient has a history of administered chemotherapy for metastatic disease; prior chemotherapy in the (neo)adjuvant setting is allowed
  • Patient with a known allergy to any of the components of Cerianna
  • Woman of childbearing age who is not using effective contraception
  • Pregnant woman (per the Product Label and ensured using clinic's standard-of-care), or parturient or nursing mother
  • Patient presents with any other clinically active, serious, life-threatening disease, medical, or psychiatric condition, and/or who has a life expectancy of <12 months, or for whom study participation may compromise their management; and/or a patient who the investigator judges to be unsuitable for participation in the study for any reason
  • Inability to comply with any requirements of the protocol

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
