NCT02226276

Brief Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well copper Cu 64-tetra-azacyclododecanetetra-acetic acid (DOTA)-trastuzumab positron emission tomography (PET) works in predicting response to treatment with ado-trastuzumab emtansine in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab is a chemotherapy drug (trastuzumab) attached to a radioactive substance. Diagnostic procedures using PET may allow scanners to take pictures of where the drug travels in the body and may help doctors identify which patients may benefit from treatment with ado-trastuzumab emtansine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Relationship Between Average Tumor Uptake of Copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab as Measured by PET and Patient Best Response

    Relationship between patient best response to T-DM1 and measured tumor uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab employed a t-test with a 0.05 two-sided significance level comparing average uptake in responsive vs non-responsive patients. Tumor uptake measured as SUV defined as SUV = AC(tsc) Wb /\[Dinj exp(-λ(tsc - tinj)\] , where AC(tsc) is the activity concentration in the volume of interest (VOI, e. g., a tumor), Wb is the patient's body weight, Dinj is the activity injected at time tinj, and λ is the decay constant for the injected radioisotope. AC(tsc) is determined from the spatial density of counts acquired from the VOI. Tumor uptake was measured in terms of maximum voxel standardized uptake value, SUVmax. Response assessment adhered to Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST 1.0).

  • Relationship Between Tumor Minimum Uptake of Copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab as Measured by PET and Patient Best Response

    Relationship between patient best response to T-DM1 and measured tumor uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab employed a t-test with a 0.05 two-sided significance level comparing minimum uptake in responsive vs non-responsive patients. Tumor uptake measured as SUV defined as SUV = AC(tsc) Wb /\[Dinj exp(-λ(tsc - tinj)\] , where AC(tsc) is the activity concentration in the volume of interest (VOI, e. g., a tumor), Wb is the patient's body weight, Dinj is the activity injected at time tinj, and λ is the decay constant for the injected radioisotope. AC(tsc) is determined from the spatial density of counts acquired from the VOI. Tumor uptake was measured in terms of minimum voxel standardized uptake value, SUVmin. Response assessment adhered to Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST 1.0).

Study Arms (1)

Diagnostic (copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab PET)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo whole body fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET/CT. Patients then receive trastuzumab IV over 15 minutes immediately before receiving copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab IV and then undergo PET scans at 24 and 48 hours. Patients then receive ado-trastuzumab emtansine IV every 3 weeks until complete response or disease progression at the discretion of the treating oncologist. Patients undergo restaging by whole body fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET/CT every 6 weeks after initiation of treatment until disease progression.
