Trial summary

Background: Some breast cancer cells have specific proteins (receptors) on their surface that make the tumor grow faster than normal cells. One of these receptors is called HER2/neu. An FDA-approved drug called Herceptin attaches to HER2/neu if it is present on the cancer cell. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 0 Trial of (111)Indium CHX-A DTPA Trastuzumab Imaging in Cancer

Background:

  • Some breast cancer cells have specific proteins (receptors) on their surface that make the tumor grow faster than normal cells. One of these receptors is called HER2/neu.
  • An FDA-approved drug called Herceptin attaches to HER2/neu if it is present on the cancer cell.
  • Indium-Herceptin is an agent in which a tiny amount of radioactivity called Indium has been attached to a tiny amount of Herceptin.
Read more

Objectives:

-To see if Indium-Herceptin provides information about the characteristics of the breast cancer in women whose tumors express HER2/neu and those whose tumors do not.

Eligibility:

-Women 18 years or older with primary or metastatic breast cancer who have not received treatment with herceptin for at least 6 months before enrollment into the study.

Design:

  • Tissue from the patient s original breast or tumor biopsy is analyzed for HER2/neu status.
  • Patients have a physical examination and review of medical records.
  • Patients receive an injection of Indium-Herceptin, followed by scanning with a gamma camera that detects the radioactivity in the Indium-Herceptin.
  • Patients return to the clinic 1, 2, 3 and 7 days later for repeat imaging to determine the best time to image after injection of Indium-Herceptin.
  • Blood samples are obtained every day of scanning to monitor the effects, if any, of the Indium-Herceptin and to see how fast the agent leaves the body.
Read the detailed description

Background:

  • Trastuzumab (Herceptin ), targets HER2 (aka: neu, ErbB2, c-erb-B2) on the surface of cancer cells and is used in the treatment of breast cancers that overexpress HER2/Neu (Erb2). It has also been demonstrated that other malignancies express HER2/Neu (Erb2).
  • Radiolabeling trastuzumab could allow human biodistribution studies, noninvasive assessment of HER2/Neu (Erb2) expression, identification of HER2/Neu (Erb2) positive metastases, monitoring of treatment response and establishment of dosimetry for future radioimmunotherapy.
  • We have developed a chelated form of trastuzumab, CHX-A DTPA-trastuzumab, that can bind a number of radioisotopes including (111)In, (212), (213)Bi, (212)Pb (86), (90)Y and (177)Lu which have alpha, beta and gamma emissions for imaging and therapy.
  • We believe that the agent will be safe based on the low dose of trastuzumab (up to a maximum of 200 mcg of protein or less than1% of the typical loading dose of trastuzumab in a 70 Kg human) and the low dose of radioactivity (5mCi).
  • Whereas trastuzumab therapy is generally only useful in tumors that highly express HER2/Neu (Erb2), (111)In-CHX-A DTPA trastuzumab (henceforth (111)Indium-trastuzumab ) will image tumors that are not only highly expressing HER2/Neu (Erb2) but also tumors that are poorly expressing HER2/Neu (Erb2) as documented by preclinical data.

Objectives:

-The primary objective is to compare uptake of 111Indium trastuzumab with HER2/Neu (Erb2) status of the tumor as determined by IHC

Eligibility:

  • Participants with a history of primary or metastatic cancer (other than melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, sarcoma or lymphoma) with known solid tumor size greater than or equal to 1.5 cm.
  • Availability of HER2/Neu (Erb2) expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or pathology or biopsy specimen can be provided on which such an analysis can be made.

Design:

  • The design of this pilot trial follows the concept of a Phase 0 or Exploratory IND (xIND) study.
  • Participants with known malignancy greater than or equal to 1.5cm and known HER2/Neu(ErbB2) tumor status (0, 1+, 2+ or 3+) by IHC or FISH.
  • After receiving 5 mCi of (111)Indium-trastuzumab, all participants will undergo gamma camera scans at approximately 24-72 hours after injection. In some subjects, an additional imaging session may be required 24 hours after the first set of images as physiologic bowel clearance is variable and may obscure the lesion of interest on the initial scan.
  • We will accrue 20 participants to this study.
  • A total of 8 blood samples (4 lab tests and up to 4 for pharmacokinetics) will be obtained from each participant to establish toxicity and the pharmacokinetics of clearance.
  • Images will be correlated with IHC status using tumor to background ratios and the optimal scanning strategy with regard to HER2/neu(ErbB2) expression will be determined.
  • Participants who undergo a therapy thought to target or effect HER2 will have the option of undergoing repeat imaging following therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing 111Indium CHX-A in people with Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare uptake of 111Indium-CHX-A DTPA trastuzumab with HER2/Neu (ErbB2) status of the tumor as determined by IHC (time frame: 5 days after intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01445054, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2019.
