Pilot Trial to Assess 68Ga Bombesin PET/CT (NeoB) Imaging for Staging of Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Assessment of the Diagnostic and Theranostic Potential of Ga Bombesin PET/CT (NeoB) Imaging for Staging of ER/PR + HER2- Breast Cancer Patients With Metastatic Disease: Comparison to Conventional Imaging

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase IIb pilot study will enrol 20 patients (women) presenting with metastatic breast cancer (ER/PR + HER2- on histology) who require imaging for staging or re-staging of their disease.

Clinical Trial Description

There is little published literature evaluating the usefulness of Ga Bombesin-PET imaging in comparison to currently accepted imaging modalities for detecting progressive metastatic breast cancer. This study aims to produce preliminary research to evaluate its clinical value in breast cancer, given the promising previously published cell line and mouse work in ER/PR+ HER2- tumours. It further aims to ascertain the theranostic potential of the NeoB peptide in the ER/PR + Her 2- population, particularly assessing the level of heterogeneity at sites of active malignancy compared to FDG PET. This study will add PET CT imaging using a tracer agent (NeoB) that directly targets the breast cancer cell. The ability of this new PET CT scan to detect sites of metastatic disease will be compared to standard procedures which include Diagnostic CT, bone scan and 18F-FDG PET. All patients will undergo a single time point imaging at Day 0 with PET CT to be conducted 120 (+/- 30) minutes after intravenous administration with 68Ga NeoB (3.0MBq/kg). ;
