99mtc-adapt6-based her2 imaging in breast cancer

Conditions: Breast Cancer

Summary: the study should evaluate distribution of 99mtc- adapt6 in patients with primary her2-positive and her2-negative breast cancer. the primary objective are: 1. to assess distribution of 99mtc- adapt6 in normal tissues and in tumours over time; 2. to assess kinetics of 99mtc- adapt6 in blood; 3. to evaluate dosimetry of 99mtc- adapt6; 4. to obtain initial information concerning safety and tolerability of 99mtc- adapt6 after single intravenous injection: the secondary objective is: 1.to compare the tumour imaging data with the concerning her2 expression obtained by immunohistochemistry (ihc) or fluorescent in situ hybridisation (fish) analysis of biopsy samples:

overall goal of the project: to determine her2 expression level in primary breast cancer and possibly in axillary lymph node metastases before neoadjuvant trastuzumab therapy. phase i. distribution of 99mtc-adapt6 in patients with primary breast cancer. the study should evaluate distribution of 99mtc- adapt6 in patients with primary her2-positive and her2-negative breast cancer. the primary objective are: 1. to assess distribution of 99mtc- adapt6 in normal tissues and in tumours over time; 2. to assess kinetics of 99mtc- adapt6 in blood; 3. to evaluate dosimetry of 99mtc- adapt6; 4. to obtain initial information concerning safety and tolerability of 99mtc- adapt6 after single intravenous injection: the secondary objective is: 1. to compare the tumour imaging data with the concerning her2 expression obtained by immunohistochemistry (ihc) or fluorescent in situ hybridisation (fish) analysis of biopsy samples: methodology: open-label, exploratory, single centre study. the subjects will receive a single injection of the labelled tracer.
