Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Breast cancer patients with radiologically confirmed brain metastases will be administered ONCE with up to 10mg of a pertuzumab-[89]Zr PET tracer, and 50mg of unconjugated pertuzumab (loading dose to minimise nonspecific uptake of the tracer) by intravenous infusion. A Registered Nurse will administer the pertuzumab under supervision of a Medical Officer. On the day of administration, and on 1-2 occasions during the following week, brain tumour uptake of the tracer will be quantified by PET-MR imaging. Imaging will be performed by an accredited Nuclear Medicine Technologist, with supervision by a Medical Officer.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 305753 0
Assess blood perfusion dynamics by quantifying ktrans, the rate of gadolinium entry to the tumour interstitium. This will be done computationally for whole tumours and also within multiple smaller regions-of-interest (ROIs) specified in the three-dimensional MRI images.
Timepoint [1] 305753 0
The day of tracer administration (day-1 baseline scan).
Primary outcome [2] 305754 0
Proportion of the administered dose of [89]Zr-pertuzumab taken up in brain metastases from both HER2+ and HER2-negative breast cancer. Standard, contrast-enhanced MRI will be used to anatomically locate brain lesions, and tracer uptake information will be acquired simultaneously with a PET scan. The PET signal intensity in brain metastases will be expressed as a ratio of the administered dose, accounting for isotope decay over time. This will be done computationally for whole tumours, and also within the ROIs specified as part of primary outcome 1.
Timepoint [2] 305754 0
The day of tracer administration (day-1 baseline scan), plus 1-2 additional scans within the following week (for example, days 5 and 7). Multiple timepoints are required to achieve this outcome.
Primary outcome [3] 305835 0
Qualify the minimum brain lesion size that can be identified with the [89]Zr-Ptz tracer, by comparing the presence and sizes of discrete PET signals to those achieved with contrast-enhanced MRI alone.
Timepoint [3] 305835 0
The day of tracer administration (day-1 baseline scan), plus 1-2 additional scans within the following week (for example, days 5 and 7). Multiple timepoints are required to achieve this outcome.
Secondary outcome [1] 346373 0
Composite outcome: Degree of pertuzumab internalisation and putative effects on HER2 signalling will be assessed using microradiography or immunohistochemistry analysis of brain tumour tissue in cases where neurosurgical material is available shortly after the imaging study (i.e. patients are scheduled for craniotomy and tumour resection as part of their management plan, and they consent to donating tissue in excess of diagnostic requirements for research purposes).
Timepoint [1] 346373 0
Approximately 2 weeks after tracer administration.
Secondary outcome [2] 346570 0
Feasibility of PET-MRI with the [89]Zr-pertuzumab tracer for imaging metastatic disease outside the brain. The presence of HER2-expressing lesions outside the brain will be assessed by full-body PET-CT in addition to brain PET-MR. This will only be performed for patients whose managing clinicians request a full-body scan because (re-)staging is required for clinical management anyway. A standard clinical diagnostic CT assessment will be performed by a qualified Radiologist, with simultaneous acquisition of PET data. We will then determine whether the PET images provide any information above and beyond the benefit of CT scanning in each particular case.
Timepoint [2] 346570 0
Day 5 after tracer administration. For any PET-CT candidates, the PET-CT scan will be performed in addition to PET-MRI procedures.

Summary
Brief summary
This study is examining brain tumour blood flow and drug uptake in patients with brain tumours originating from breast cancer.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 or over and have a history of breast cancer, with radiologically diagnosed metastatic brain disease.

Study details
All participants will have an intravenous infusion containing a chemical tracer used in a PET scan. On the day of administration, plus an additional one or two occasions in the following week, participants will have a PET-MR scan.

The study aims to use imaging to examine the uptake of the chemical tracer in brain metastases originating from breast cancer. It will provide new information about how treatment could be affected by unique blood flow patterns in the brain.
