About this study
Official title: Quantification of 68-GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 Uptake in Metastasis of Breast Carcinoma Patients and Assessment of Repeatability (VUBAR) - Pilot Study
Study objective:
Cohort 1: To quantify the uptake of 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in local or distant metastases from breast carcinoma patients and to assess repeatability of the image-based HER2 quantification. The uptake will be correlated to results obtained via biopsy of the same lesion, if available.
Read more
Cohort 2: To report on uptake of 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in different cancer types that might overexpress HER2
Cohort 3: To explore the feasibility and added value of 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in the neoadjuvant setting of HER2-expressing breast carcinoma
Time schedule: After inclusion, patients will be injected intravenously with 37 - 185 MBq 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 with a total mass of up to 200 μg NOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1. Serum and plasma samples will be collected at injection. At 90 min after injection, a total body PET/CT scan will be performed.
Patients in cohort 1 will undergo a second PET/CT procedure, identical to the first procedure, within 8 days, with a minimal interval of 18h and maximal interval of 8 days. Patients in cohort 2 can undergo an optional 18F-FDG-PET/CT within 21 days prior to or after 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1. In cohort 1 and 2, based on PET/CT images, up to 2 lesions will be selected for optional image-guided biopsy. Biopsy will be performed max. 28 days after the last PET/CT. Plasma and serum samples will be obtained between 60 and 365 days after first injection for patients in cohort 1 and between 42 and 365 days after first injection for patients in cohort 2.
Patients in cohort 3 will undergo 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 PET/CT prior to the start of neoadjuvant treatment and again after the last cycle of neoadjuvant treatment but prior to surgery. Plasma and serum samples will be obtained before each injection and between 42 and 365 days after the last injection.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Repeatability of lesional PET/CT characteristics
The lesional tracer uptake in local and distant metastases of at least 12 mm (for lymph nodes short axis) will be measured on both PET/CT's (expressed as standard uptake value (SUV) and repeatability will be calculated.
Measured: 90 min post injection
Tracer update of 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in different cancer types
The lesional tracer uptake in different cancer types of at least 10 mm maximal diameter (for lymph nodes short axis) will be measured on PET/CT (expressed as standard uptake value (SUV).
Measured: 90 min post injection
Feasibility and added value of 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 in neoadjuvant setting of breast carcinoma
Measured: time of surgery following neo-adjuvant treatment (typically within 14 days following the second intervention)
Secondary outcomes (4)
Within-patient tumor heterogeneity for HER2 expression using PET/CT imaging
Within-patient tumor heterogeneity for HER2 expression, observed on 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 PET/CT or biopsy analyses
Measured: 90 min post injection
Immunogenicity
Immunogenicity assessed on plasma samples obtained prior to injection of the IMP and obtained between 60 and 365 days after the (first) injection
Measured: prior to and between 60 and 365 days after the first injection
Histopathological results of biopsied lesions and correlation with PET/CT results
semi-quantitative score of HER2 expression using immunohistochemistry performed on biopsied/resected tissues if available
Measured: max 28 days after the second PET/CT
Influence image-guide biopsy on patient management
To determine in which relative number of patients, the patient management was altered after 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 PET/CT and the subsequent optional biopsy
Measured: Within 3 months following the last intervention

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing 68GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in people with Metastatic Breast Carcinoma and Locally Advanced Breast Cancer, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 1 site in Belgium.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 2024. 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 Belgium. 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?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact UZ Brussel (+3224776013, nugmail@uzbrussel.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Repeatability of lesional PET/CT characteristics (time frame: 90 min post injection). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 16 Feb 2024.
