D4 Choline Breast PET/CT

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment on the tumour choline metabolism as determined by [18F]D4-FCH PET/ computed tomography(CT) in breast cancer and to determine the suitability of [18F]D4-FCH-PET/CT as a non-invasive, early imaging biomarker for therapy response following CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment.

About this study

A target of 16 evaluable participants will be recruited to this study. Participants will have[18F]D4-FCH PET/CT imaging on each of 2 visits Scan 1: Baseline scan to be conducted prior to initiating standard of care CDK4/6 inhibitor-based therapy drug therapy.

Scan2: Early post-treatment scan to be conducted at 4-6 weeks after initiating therapy.

Each participant will provide written consent to take part in the study before they undergo screening assessments to confirm eligibility. On the day of imaging the participants will have a blood sample taken for circulating tumour DNA prior to the scan.

A single dose of [18F]D4-FCH IV will be administered to the participant followed by dynamic/ whole body imaging.

Optional tumour biopsies at baseline and after 4-6 weeks of CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment will be obtained, or if there is a suitable archival pre-treatment biopsy that has been taken within 18 months, this can be retrieved for baseline analysis.

Clinical data for progression/ survival followed up for up to 24 months.

Who can participate

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Female patients with a histological diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic estrogen-receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer
  • Written informed consent prior to admission in the study.
  • Target lesion diameter of ≥15mm that has not been previously irradiated and is located outside the liver
  • Female patients aged ≥ 18 years of age
  • For all patients: histologically confirmed locally advanced/ metastatic breast cancer with a previous biopsy confirming hormone receptor and HER2 status
  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Negative urine pregnancy test (within 2 hours prior to injection of imaging agent) in women of child bearing age and willingness to use contraception (barrier, abstinence, non-hormonal) for 3 weeks after injection of [18F]D4-FCH
  • Life expectancy > 3months
  • Adequate organ function as judged by investigator to include:
  • Hb≥ 10g/L
  • Creatinine clearance ≥45ml/min
  • Patients must have been appropriately staged (which may include contrast enhanced CT/ FDG-PET/ MRI) within 42 days of study entry and additional imaging according to local standard of care

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Evidence of significant medical condition or laboratory finding which, in the opinion of the Investigator, makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial
  • Participants with severe claustrophobia or who are unable to lie flat or fit into the scanner (≥350 lbs (160 Kg))
  • Prior use within 14 days of enrolment or concurrent therapy with any other investigational agent
  • Patients classified as radiation workers
  • Patient has previously received treatment with CDK 4/6 inhibitors

Treatment and study plan

Imaging scan

PET/CT scan

Other names: [18F]D4-FCH-PET/CT

Primary outcomes

  1. The change in tumour uptake of [18F]D4-FCH (standardized uptake at 60 min, fractional retention) after approximately 4-6 weeks of CDK4/6 inhibitor-based therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer

    Time frame: Through scan completion 4-6 weeks

    PET/CT

Secondary outcomes

  1. Semi-quantitative assessment of the effect of CDK4/6 inhibitor-based therapy on [18F]D4-FCH tumour and normal tissue dynamics. Uptake of [18F]D4-FCH in normal tissues, and tumour target and non-target lesions combined (dynamic/whole body scans)

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average 2.5 years

    PET/CT

  2. Correlation of [18F]D4-FCH uptake with tumour size or FDG-PET or appropriate standard clinical imaging

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average 2.5 years
