Overview

Prospective multicenter study evaluating the prediction of histological response after neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy by pre-treatment 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT imaging in patients with early-stage high-risk TNBC.

Description

Prospective multicenter study evaluating the prediction of histological response of pembrolizumab in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy by pre-treatment 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT imaging in patients with early-stage high-risk TNBC.

Patients will receive the newly established standard of care of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W given with 4 cycles of paclitaxel + carboplatin, then with 4 cycles of doxorubicin or epirubicin + cyclophosphamide. After definitive surgery, patients will receive adjuvant pembrolizumab for 9 cycles or until recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.

The 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scan will be performed for each patient pre-therapy and on the same machine as the 18F-FDG PET/CT scan and within 14 days before the start of treatment.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Female with age ≥ 18 years,
  2. Patients with previously untreated, non-metastatic, centrally confirmed TNBC (stage T1c N1-2 or T2-4 N0-2 per AJCC) for whom a neoadjuvant treatment with chemotherapy + pembrolizumab is the recommended option as standard of care,
  3. Patients with measurable targets according to RECIST/PERCIST criteria,
  4. Patients without distant metastasis based on staging 18F-FDG PET/CT,
  5. Patients with tumor tissue available,
  6. Patients who provided a signed written informed consent,
  7. Patient ability to comply with protocol requirements,
  8. Patients covered by a health insurance system.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Pregnant and lactating women,
  2. Patients with prior anti-PD(L)1 immunotherapy,
  3. Patients with any contra-indication to chemo-immunotherapy standard of care therapy, per investigator assessment,
  4. Patients with altered mental status or psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude a valid patient informed consent,
  5. Patients who have difficulty undergoing trial procedures for geographic, social or psychological reasons,
  6. Patients who are not affiliated to a social security system, or who are deprived of liberty, or under guardianship.
  7. Person deprived of liberty or under guardianship

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.
