Brief Title: Positron Emission Tomography in Women With Advanced HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Official Title: 64 Cu-DOTA-Trastuzumab Positron Emission Tomography in Women With Advanced HER2 Positive Invasive Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT01093612
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab-labeled PET, may help doctors to plan a better treatment PURPOSE: This pilot trial is studying copper Cu 64-tetra-azacyclododecanetetra-acetic acid (DOTA)-trastuzumab-labeled positron emission tomography (PET) in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the dose of pre-administered cold antibody that optimizes image quality of 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET without increasing the radiation dose to the heart in women with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer. II. Determine whether tumor uptake on 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET correlates with tumor expression of HER2 in women with metastatic disease. III. Perform an exploratory analysis of the relationship between uptake on 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET, HER2 overexpression, and inactivation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. OUTLINE: This is a part one dose-determining study followed by a part two study. PART ONE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 dose levels. Patients undergo a PET scan 24-48 hours after injection of 64 Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab. PART TWO: Patients undergo a PET scan 24-48 hours after injection of 64 Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab at the optimal dose as determined in part one of the study.
