What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This pilot study is testing a new type of PET scan that uses a tracer called [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor to see if it can detect metastatic triple-negative breast cancer as well as or better than the standard FDG PET scan. The study will enroll 12 patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. Each patient will receive the new scan at the start of the study and again if their disease progresses. The goal is to see if this imaging method can identify tumors that have high levels of a protein called CXCR4, which could make them candidates for future targeted therapies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
[68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor (a radioactive tracer for PET/CT imaging)
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging method could help identify patients whose tumors have high CXCR4 levels, potentially guiding them to more targeted treatments in the future.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The scan is for research purposes only and will not directly treat the cancer.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 12 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Written informed consent obtained from the patient prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations. 2. Female or male, Age ≥ 18 years at time of study entry. 3. Primitive triple negative breast cancer proven histologically, defined according to the following criteria: * Estrogen receptors \<10%. * And progesterone receptors \<10%. * And HER2 not amplified or not overexpressed. 4. Recurrence metastatic Breast Cancer or De Novo metastatic Breast Cancer documented by \[18F\]FDG PET/CT ± conventional imaging with at least one measurable metastasis according to PERCIST and/or RECIST. 5. ECOG performance status \< 2. 6. Negative serum/urine pregnancy test prior to \[68Ga\]Ga-PentixaFor administration for female patient of childbearing potential\*. 7. Consent to use a contraception method for at least 3 months after each administration of \[68Ga\]Ga-PentixaFor (as defined in Appendix 7 and according to local guidelines). 8. Adequate Organ function confirmed by laboratory tests results allowing for safe administration of \[68Ga\]Ga- PentixaFor: Hematologic function: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) of ≥ 1.5 x 109 /L, platelet count of ≥ 100 x 109 /L, and hemoglobin of ≥ 9 g/dL). Hepatic function: AST and ALT ≤ 3 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN if liver metastases). 9. Renal function: Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73m², as calculated using the CKD-EPI or MDRD equation.Life expectancy at least 3 months. 10. Patient has valid health insurance. 11. Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up. * Note: a female participant of childbearing potential is a woman who is not permanently sterilized or not postmenopausal (postmenopausal is defined as 12 months with no menses without an alternative medical cause). Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of another primary malignancy within the last 3 years before study entry except for basal cell carcinoma. 2. Impossibility to hold lying motionless at least 1 hour, or known claustrophobia. 3. Serious non-malignant disease (e.g. psychiatric, infectious, autoimmune or metabolic), that may interfere with the objectives of the study or with the safety or compliance of the subject, as judged by the investigator. 4. Mental impairment that may compromise the ability to give informed consent and comply with the requirements of the study. 5. Pregnant, likely to be pregnant or breastfeeding woman. 6. Blood glucose \> 12mmol/L. 7. Renal insufficiency with GFR ≤ 45 mL/min/ 1.73 m². 8.
