99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 Imaging and Cardiotoxicity in Patients With Early Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 Imaging of Apoptosis and Cardiotoxicity in Relationship to Ventricular Function in Patients With Early Stage Breast Cancer Receiving Doxorubicin-Based Chemotherapy

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This was a single center, proof-of-concept (PoC), Phase II study. Patients with histologically confirmed early stage (Stage I, II or III) HER-2 negative breast cancer and scheduled to receive doxorubicin-based (neo)adjuvant therapy to be followed by paclitaxel or docetaxel as per clinical practice. The planned doxorubicin-based chemotherapy treatment consisted of doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 in combination with cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 (AC) intravenous (IV) every 2 or 3 weeks for 4 cycles. Patients were scheduled for CMRI and 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 imaging (planar and SPECT / CT) at the following visits: 1. Screening/baseline, i.e. 2 weeks prior to initiating AC treatment (Visit 1) 2. After the 2nd and before the 3rd cycle of AC treatment (Visit 2) 3. After the 4th cycle of AC treatment and within 2 weeks (Visit 3) 4. At 12 weeks after the 4th cycle of AC treatment (Visit 4). The imaging procedures were conducted and analyzed. Bloodwork for cardiotoxicity biomarkers (troponin, N terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP]) was performed at each visit.

Clinical Trial Description

Overall, it was planned to recruit 30 adults with early stage breast cancer. The first 10 patients were to be enrolled in the PoC phase of the study to assess the potential of 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 in terms of imaging quality, uptake and medical relevance. Based on the results of the first 10 patients, the DMC was to decide whether to terminate the study or continue to the Phase II and enroll the next 20 planned patients. The maximum study duration was 26 (±4) weeks per patient (including the screening and follow-up periods). The sponsor decided to terminate the study earlier than planned due to strategic decisions to focus the AAA development portfolio on oncology theragnostics and not based on safety concerns. ;
