Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a phase 4, multi-center, open-label, prospective cohort study to evaluate the clinical utility of Fluoroestradiol F18 (Cerianna) PET/CT to guide therapeutic management in ER-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients with progressive disease on first-line standard-of-care hormonal therapy. All patients will undergo a Cerianna PET/CT scan. The treating physician will complete a standardized questionnaire to indicate the second-line therapeutic management plan before the scheduled Cerianna PET/CT. After interpretation of Cerianna PET/CT by local radiologist or nuclear medicine physician, the treating physician will fill out a similar questionnaire to specify the final therapeutic decision. The proportion of patients with a change in therapeutic management plan based on Cerianna PET/CT results will be the primary endpoint. During the study follow-up period of 18 months, data on standard-of-care imaging, treatments/procedures received, and clinical outcomes will be collected. Patients will be asked to complete a health-related quality of life questionnaire at their screening, 6-month, and 18-month visit. Secondary endpoints include visual and quantitative heterogeneity assessment of tumor Cerianna uptake, and PFS rates at 6 months and 18 months after Cerianna PET/CT, which will be assessed between patients with and without a change in therapeutic management plan. Maximum duration of follow-up for each patient: 20 months. First patient first visit to last patient last visit: estimated 36 months.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Evaluate change in therapeutic management plan assessed by comparing pre/post-Cerianna PET/CT treatment selection (based on comparison of the initial management plan and post-Cerianna PET/CT management plan evaluated within 3 weeks).
- timeFrame
- [Time Frame: Baseline and within 3 weeks after Cerianna PET/CT
- description
- The percentage of subjects with changes in the therapeutic management plan after Cerianna PET/CT with 95% confidence interval will be estimated by comparison of the initial management plan vs. the post-Cerianna PET/CT management plan evaluated within 3 weeks after Cerianna PET/CT.
Secondary outcomes (6)
- measure
- Number and percentage of lesions detected with Cerianna PET/CT (focal Cerianna uptake, outside the liver, visible above background) in individual patients.
- timeFrame
- Time Frame: Baseline, Cerianna PET/CT
- description
- Cerianna-uptake score per patient, defined as total number of Cerianna-positive lesions divided by all lesions visible on standard-of-care imaging (e.g., CT and/or bone scan, or FDG-PET/CT) and Cerianna PET/CT (lower scores represent greater ER heterogeneity/ER loss; 0 = a negative scan)
