Evaluation of 68-GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 Uptake in Brain Metastasis of Breast Carcinoma Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study investigates the uptake of the radiopharmaceutical 68-GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 in brain metastasis using PET/CT imaging. Patients with HER2-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer will be included and the uptake in their lesions will be compared.
Optional 68-GaNOTA-Anti-HER2 VHH1 scans may be performed during or after treatment, at time points 12±6 weeks and 24±9 weeks after the first scan.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The tumor targeting potential in brain metastasis [90 min post injection]
The tumor targeting potential in brain metastasis and other known breast carcinoma lesions will be visually scored as positive or negative by an experienced nuclear medicine physician, unaware of the HER2-status.
- The tumor targeting potential in brain metastasis [90 min post injection]
The tumor targeting potential in brain metastasis and other known breast carcinoma lesions will be assessed quantitatively using Standard Uptake Values (SUV) by an experienced nuclear medicine physician, unaware of the HER2-status.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in uptake in brain lesions evaluated by PET/CT scan during or after treatment [up to 2 years after inclusion]
If available, uptake will be evaluated during and after treatment and compared to baseline values. Results will be compared to information of patient's disease course
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patients who have given informed consent
-
Age 18 years or older
-
Patients with brain metastasized breast carcinoma, with at least 1 brain lesion of at least 8 mm maximal diameter, as measured by CT or MRI.
-
20 patients with HER2-positive breast carcinoma and 10 with HER2-negative breast carcinoma will be included
Exclusion Criteria:

-
Patients who have any other life-threatening illness or organ system dysfunction, which in the opinion of the investigator would either compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluation of the test radiopharmaceutical
-
Patients who cannot communicate reliably with the investigator
-
Patients at increased risk of death from a pre-existing concurrent illness
