Lead Sponsor:

University of Alabama at Birmingham

Conditions:

HER2-positive Breast Cancer

Eligibility:

FEMALE

18-75 years

Phase:

PHASE1

PHASE2

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to see if a new group of imaging tests can help identify response to stage IV HER2+ breast cancer before treatment.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to see if a new group of imaging tests can help identify response to stage IV human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer before and during tre...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients must be ≥ 18 years old and ≤ 75 years old
  • Patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer
  • HER2-positive breast cancer prospectively determined on the primary tumor by a local pathology laboratory and defined as immunohistochemistry (IHC) score of 3+ and/or positive by in situ hybridization (ISH) (defined by ISH ratio of ≥ 2.0 for the number of HER2 gene copies to the number of chromosome 17 copies). Only one positive result is required for eligibility
  • Estrogen/progesterone receptor positive OR negative disease allowed
  • Patients must have measurable disease in one metastatic lesion per RECIST v 1.1
  • Stage IV HER2+ breast cancer patients eligible for a new therapeutic regimen that includes HER2-targeted treatment who are naïve to that regimen
  • Estimated life expectancy of greater than six months

Exclusion

  • Children, less than 18 years of age, will be excluded from this study
  • Metastatic breast cancer patients who are HER2 positive and have already started their current HER2-targeted therapy regimen for metastatic disease
  • Patients who have not recovered from grade 2 or higher toxicities of prior therapy to the point that they would be appropriate for re-dosing will be ineligible for study treatment
  • Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 7 months after the last dose of study treatment
  • Patient is considered a poor medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, nonmalignant systemic disease or active infection that requires systemic therapy. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, active, non-infectious pneumonitis; uncontrolled major seizure disorder; unstable spinal cord compression; superior vena cava syndrome; or any psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the study (including obtaining informed consent).
  • Patients found to have constitutionally present non-magnetic resonance (MR) compatible ferromagnetic materials
  • Unable to lie still on the imaging table for one (1) hour
  • Inability to receive gadolinium-based contrast agent
  • Patients for whom a PET/MRI is technically not feasible (e.g. breast volume, obesity, \> body mass index (BMI) 36)
