Triple Negative Breast Cancer | Drug: 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT | Phase 2 |
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of 89Zr-labeled girentuximab (89Zr-TLX250) as a novel, Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CAIX) targeted PET/CT tracer for the imaging of metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients.
TNBC patients are known to be rapidly progressive and have a poor prognosis. This poor prognosis is due to the lack of common breast cancer targets in TNBC. As TNBC expresses CAIX, this stuy will evaluate CAIX targeting by using a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody that recognizes carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) : 89Zr- girentuximab otherwise known as 89Zr-TLX250. Previous and ongoing studies have demonstrated the potential application of 89Zr-TLX250 as a new PET/CT imaging tracer for the detection of renal cancer.
After establishing the TNBC targeting properties of the 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT imaging tracer, it should be interesting to develop a new targeted therapy using TLX250- radiolabeled with a therapeutic radionuclide such as 177Lutétium.

- Assess the concordance for tumor lesion detection using 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT versus a conventional 18FDG PET/CT scan [ Time Frame: 35 days ]Assess the concordance for tumor lesion detection using 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT scan : Positron Emission Tomography/Computerized Tomography scan versus a conventional 18 Fluorodésoxyglucose (18FDG) PET/CT scan where comparison will be made on a per lesion analysis basis
- determine the percent of total tumor burden (whole body) detected on 89Zr-TLX250 PET/CT scan compared to that defined on 18FDG PET/CT used as the reference [ Time Frame: 35 days ]Percent of positive CA IX metastatic tumor burden compared to total metastatic tumor burden by 18FDG (ratio "Number of positive 89Zr-TLX250 lesions / Number of positive FDG lesions
- Assess the correlation between the Standardized Uptake Values (SUV) of 89Zr-TLX250 and CAIX histological expression if a biopsy is done [ Time Frame: 35 days ]If a metastasis biopsy is conducted, assessment of the correlation between the normalized uptake values (SUV) of 89Zr-TLX250 positive lesions and CAIX histological expression will be done by comparing the 89Zr-TLX250 semi-quantitative data with the immunohistochemical results (IHC) of biopsied metastases
- Vital signs measurment after 89Zr-TLX250 injection [ Time Frame: 2 Hours ]Vital signs will be measured within 2 hours after 89Zr-TLX250 injection
- Assess the generation of Human Anti-Chimeric Antibodies (HACA) in response to the girentuximab [ Time Frame: 3 months ]A blood sample will be drawn before 89Zr-TLX250 injection and 3 months after in order to evaluate the presence of Human anti-chimeric antibody (HACA) in sera of patients. This will be tested quantitatively and qualitatively using validated ELISAs HACA
- Number of participants with adverse events and Serious Adverse Events related to 89Zr-TLX250 as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: 30 days ]All Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events due to 89Zr-TLX250 will be reported
- Number of participants with Serious Adverse Events related to 89Zr-TLX250 as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: 30 days ]All Serious Adverse Events due to 89Zr-TLX250 will be reported
