Brief summary

The study should evaluate distribution of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C in patients with primary Triple negative and Luminal breast cancer. The primary objective are: 1. To assess distribution of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C in normal tissues and in tumors over time; 2. To evaluate dosimetry of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C in breast cancer patients; 3. To obtain initial information concerning safety and tolerability of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C in breast cancer patients after single intravenous injection: The secondary objective are: 1\. To compare the tumour imaging data with \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C in breast cancer patients with Triple negative and Luminal subtypes.

Detailed description

Overall goal of the project: To determine EpCam expression in primary breast cancer before any system therapy. Phase I. Distribution of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C in patients with primary breast cancer. The study should evaluate distribution of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C in patients with primary Triple negative and Luminal breast cancer before treatment. Methodology: Open-label, exploratory, single center study. The subjects will receive a single injection of the labelled tracer.

Interventions

DRUG[99mTc]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C

One single injection of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C, followed by gamma camera imaging directly postinjection and after 2, 4, 6, 24 and 48 hours.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Tumor-to-background ratio (SPECT)6 hoursThe SPECT-based tumor-to-background ratio will be calculated as follows: the value of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C uptake coinciding with tumor lesions (counts) will be divided by the value of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C uptake coinciding with the regions without pathological findings (counts)
Gamma camera-based whole-body [99mTc]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C uptake value (percent)6 hoursWhole-body \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C uptake coinciding with normal organs and tissues will be assessed using gamma camera and calculated as percentage (%) of the injected dose of the radiopharmaceutical.
SPECT-based [99mTc]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C uptake value in tumor lesions (counts)6 hours\[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C uptake coinciding with tumor lesions will be assessed using single-photon emission computed tomography and measured in counts.
SPECT-based [99mTc]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C background uptake value (counts)6 hoursFocal uptake of \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C in the regions without pathological findings will be assessed with SPECT and measured in counts

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of administration of concomitant medication (percent)48 hoursThe safety attributable to \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C injections will be evaluated based on the rate of administration of concomitant medication (percent)
Percent of cases with abnormal findings based on the assessments of physical examination relative to baseline48 hoursThe safety attributable to \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C injections will be evaluated based on the assessments of physical examination (percent of cases with abnormal findings relative to baseline)
Percent of cases with abnormal findings based on the assessments of vital signs relative to baseline48 hoursThe safety attributable to \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C injections will be evaluated based on the assessments of vital signs (percent of cases with abnormal findings relative to baseline)
Rate of adverse events (percent)48 hoursThe safety attributable to \[99mTc\]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C injections will be evaluated based on the rate of adverse events (percent)
