89Zr-DFO*-Trastuzumab PET in Patients With Gastric or Breast Cancer - a Pilot Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new PET tracer in patients with HER2-positive breast or gastric cancer. This tracer is made of radioactively labeled trastuzumab, and can show where HER2 is present in the body using a PET-scan. For this research, the investigators make PET-scans in people with HER2-positive, metastasized breast- or gastric cancer. The investigators will investigate if the new HER2-tracer correctly shows all tumor lesions. In the future, this method may be useful to help predict who will benefit from certain HER2-directed therapies. Participants will be injected with the radioactive tracer once. After injection, participants will undergo 3 PET-scans. Each PET-scan will take a maximum of 60 minutes. The PET-scans are on separate days within a week after injection of the tracer (e.g. 1 day, 2 days and 4 days after injection). Furthermore, the investigators will take 7 blood samples (5 mL each). Participants are not required to stay at the hospital. The first 3 participants will undergo an extra PET-scan 1 - 2 hours after injection. The amount of radioactivity injected will be 37 MBq (± 10%).

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Prior allergic reaction to immunoglobulins or immunoglobulin allergy.

Other illness

  • Has substance abuse or any other medical conditions such as clinically significant cardiac or psychological conditions, that may, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the subject's participation in the clinical study or evaluation of the clinical study results.

Other

  • Contraindications for systemic treatment (as will be assigned by treating physician).
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Inability to comply with study procedures.

Who the study is looking for

  • HER2+ breast cancer with metastatic disease starting (new) systemic treatment or
  • HER2+ metastatic gastric cancer starting (new) systemic treatment.
  • A recent (\< 8 weeks of start of study) biopsy confirming HER2+.
  • Able to undergo PET imaging procedures.
  • At least one lesion of at least 1.5 cm amenable for PET imaging
  • Age \>18 years of age, willing and able to comply with the protocol as judged by the investigator.
  • Signed written informed consent.
  • Have a World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status of 0-2.
  • Life expectancy of \> 3 months.
  • Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.
  • Adequate organ and bone marrow function, as deemed acceptable by the treating physician
  • Women aged \<50 years will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the post-menopausal range for the site.
  • Women aged ≥ 50 years will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses \>1 year ago.
  • Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods outlined for women of child-bearing potential if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrolment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2-4 weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method.
  • Female patients of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must use at least one highly effective method of contraception from the time of screening and must agree to continue using such precautions for 7 months after the last dose of IMP.
  • Female patients must refrain from breastfeeding while on study and for 7 months after the last dose of IMP.
  • Female subjects must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of screening and throughout the study treatment period, and for at least 7 months after the final study drug administration.
