NCT06540872

Brief Summary

DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) is a common pre-stage for breast cancer. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if FAPI-PET/MRI (an imaging technique with a weakly radioactive drug) helps to diagnose hidden invasive breast cancer in participants with DCIS. The main question it aims to answer is: How good can FAPI-PET/MRI diagnose hidden invasive breast cancer in DCIS? Researchers will compare FAPI-PET/MRI results to tissue samples obtained from surgery treatment to see if the FAPI-PET/MRI images show invasive breast cancer certainly. Participants will

  • receive the radioactive drug and lie in an imaging device for 45 minutes including a break
  • visit the clinic once again for a checkup and test

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Evaluation of feasibility of detection of occult invasive cancer in diagnosed DCIS of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 breast PET/MRI

    Sensitivity based on blinded readers' PET/MRI visual assessment: "Suspicious for occult carcinoma: Yes/No"

    Within one year after end of trial

  • Evaluation of feasibility of detection of occult invasive cancer in diagnosed DCIS of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 breast PET/MRI

    Specificity based on blinded readers' PET/MRI visual assessment: "Suspicious for occult carcinoma: Yes/No"

    Within one year after end of trial

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Evaluation of feasibility of detection of occult invasive cancer in diagnosed DCIS of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 breast PET/MRI

    Within one year after end of trial

  • Evaluation of feasibility of detection of occult invasive cancer in diagnosed DCIS of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 breast PET/MRI

    Within one year after end of trial

  • Diagnostic Odds Ratio (DOR) to evaluate possible superiority of PET/MRI visual assessment over breast MRI alone

    Within one year after end of trial

  • Evaluate the added value for diagnostic performance of MRI measures of diffusibility

    Within one year after end of trial

  • Evaluate the added value for diagnostic performance of MRI measures of perfusion and permeability

    Within one year after end of trial

  • +9 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Single Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

All participants receive the drug \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 and imaging

Drug: [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46

Interventions

Participants receive the weakly radioactive drug \[68Ga\]Ga-FAPI-46 through their vein and lie in an imaging device (PET/MRI) for 30 minutes. After a break of 30 minutes, they will lie in the imaging device for another 15 minutes.

Also known as: [68Ga]FAPI-46

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Newly diagnosed DCIS with extent in mammography, MRI or ultrasound suspected to range \> 4 cm
  • Planned DCIS resection (breast conserving or mastectomy) as per guideline recommendation
  • Written informed consent
  • For women of child bearing potential: confirmed menstrual period (if applicable) and a negative highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test
  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and male patients with partners of childbearing/reproductive potential must agree to use highly effective contraception (Pearl index \< 1) when sexually active. This applies for the time period between signing of the informed consent form up to the final trial visit.

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindications for MRI (specific metallic implants, severe claustrophobia, history of anaphylaxis following MRI contrast agent application)
  • GFR \< 30 mL/(min∙1.73 m²)
  • Current pregnancy or within last 8 weeks before begin of study participation
  • Current nursing or within last 8 weeks before begin of study participation
  • Inability to understand the nature, risks, and benefits of the study
  • History of diagnosis of ipsilateral invasive breast cancer
  • Concurrent diagnosis of contralateral invasive cancer, if not curatively treated by surgery \> 1 year ago
  • Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of the Investigational Medicinal Product
