64 Cu-DOTA-alendronate PET Imaging in Localizing and Characterizing Breast Calcifications in Participants Before Undergoing Mastectomy

This early phase I pilot trial studies how well 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate positron emission tomography (PET) imaging work in localizing and characterizing breast calcifications (small calcium deposits) in participants before undergoing mastectomy. Diagnostic procedures, such 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate PET, may detect calcification and help doctors predict cancer associated calcification within breast tissue.

About this study

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the uptake (maximum standardized uptake value [SUVmax]) of 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate in female patients with biopsy-proven malignant breast calcifications.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate on PET -computed tomography (CT) with histology after mastectomy.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate.

Participants receive 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate intravenously (IV) and undergo PET/CT imaging 60 minutes after injection. Participants with sufficient levels of residual radioactivity may undergo repeat imaging on day 1 as determined by the study team.

After completion of study , participants are followed up for 7 days.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Evidence of calcifications on mammogram
  • Biopsy confirmed malignancy associated calcifications in at least one breast
  • Biopsy confirmed benign calcifications in at least one breast (same or contralateral breast)
  • Planned total mastectomy for treatment
  • Ability to provide informed consent
  • Negative serum pregnancy test
  • No evidence of impaired hepatic or kidney function

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants who do not have residual calcifications present on mammogram following biopsy
  • Concurrent malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer
  • Patients with known metastatic disease
  • Patients who have received prior treatment for the current breast cancer
  • Patients currently using oral bisphosphonate therapy
  • Patients with injection of other radioactive material within 90 days
  • Inability to provide informed consent
  • Pregnant or lactating patients
  • Patients with impaired kidney function (creatinine >= 1.3 mg/dL or < 0.6 mg/dL)

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate in evaluating tumor size and calcifications

    Time frame: Up to 7 days

    Tumor size sensitivity and the ability to detect calcifications will be compared to the extent of calcifications seen on mammogram.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Uptake of 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate on positron emission tomography (PET) scan compared to histology after mastectomy

    Time frame: Up to 7 days
