What to expect

No one can promise a trial will help you personally — that is what the research is trying to find out.

What participation involves

  • Procedures mentioned: CT scans, Biopsies

Only what the study's summary and detailed description on ClinicalTrials.gov say. Time periods may describe the whole study or a part of it — ask the study team what applies to you.

Show the study's own words
  • "This pilot observational study is being done to identify possible biomarkers of response to endocrine therapy in patients with ER/PR+ metastatic lobular breast cancer (LBC) starting new endocrine therapy. 18F-fluorofuranylnorprogesterone Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FFNP-PET/CT) and liquid biopsies will be performed at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment."
  • "Baseline levels and dynamic on-treatment changes in estrogen signaling as measured by FFNP-PET/CT and circulating tumor cell (CTC) liquid biopsy will be correlated with clinical response to endocrine therapy and progression-free survival in the above cohort of patients."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

This pilot observational study is being done to identify possible biomarkers of response to endocrine therapy in patients with ER/PR+ metastatic lobular breast cancer (LBC) starting new endocrine therapy. 18F-fluorofuranylnorprogesterone Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FFNP-PET/CT) and liquid biopsies will be performed at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. Baseline levels and dynamic on-treatment changes in estrogen signaling as measured by FFNP-PET/CT and circulating tumor cell (CTC) liquid biopsy will be correlated with clinical response to endocrine therapy and progression-free survival in the above cohort of patients.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Willing to provide informed consent 2. Individuals at least 18 years of age 3. Have biopsy-proven ER/PR-positive (defined as ER ≥1 percent and PR ≥1 percent by IHC) and HER2-negative advanced or metastatic LBC starting new standard of care endocrine therapy 4. Adequate organ function as indicated by standard laboratory tests (CBC, liver function tests or CMP) allowing for systemic breast cancer treatment per treating oncologist 5. Patients with evaluable bone-only disease that is lytic or mixed lytic-sclerotic are eligible 6. Willing to comply with all study procedures and be available for the duration of the study 7. Disease may be measurable by RECIST 1.1 criteria or non-measurable. Lesion size must be at least 1cm. If only bone lesions present, they should be lytic or mixed lytic-sclerotic. If only liver lesions present, patient is not eligible. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with active brain metastases 2. Patients with liver-only disease are not eligible due to high background liver activity related to the radiopharmaceutical's hepatobiliary route of elimination 3. Unable to lie flat during or tolerate PET/CT 4. Patients with a history of allergic reaction attributable to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to FFNP 5. Presence of liver failure as judged by patient's treating physician 6. Individuals who are pregnant, lactating, or planning on becoming pregnant during the study 7. Not suitable for study participation due to other reasons at the discretion of the investigators 8. Patients with progesterone-receptor negative disease defined as PR \<1 percent by IHC
