Early Detection of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Relapse (CUPCAKE)

Early Detection of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Relapse: a Clinical Utility Phase II Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

CUPCAKE is a randomized, non-comparative, multicenter, proof-of-concept phase II trial, using the Trials within Cohorts concept(1) to assess the clinical utility of ctDNA monitoring combined with 68Ga-FAPI-46-PET-CT imaging upon ctDNA detection for the surveillance of patients with a non-metastatic TNBC at high risk of relapse. The study has two steps. In Step 1, patients who have completed the treatments for a localized TNBC will undergo ctDNA monitoring every \~4 months (± 2 weeks). In Step 2, patients for whom ctDNA will be detected will then be randomized between an observation arm, in which monitoring will continue until the detection of a clinical relapse, and an experimental arm, in which the ctDNA detection will be revealed to both the patient and the clinician: patients will then undergo a 18F-FDG PET-CT and a 68Ga-FAPI-46-PET-CT, in addition to whatever workup the investigator will deem necessary.

Who cannot take part

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

Prior treatment

  • History of another primary malignancy except for the following :
    • Basal cell carcinoma or any in situ carcinoma treated with curative intent
    • Any stage I-II malignancy treated with curative intent with no evidence of active disease in the last five years

Other illness

  • Patients with altered mental status or psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude a valid patient informed consent.

Lab values

  • Any uncontrolled disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding or any other medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, interferes with the trial procedures

Other

  • Male participants
  • Patients who have difficulty undergoing trial procedures for geographic, social or psychological reasons
  • Person deprived of liberty or under guardianship
  • For step #2 (randomization after ctDNA detection): clinical/radiological metastatic relapse before the detection of the molecular relapse.

Who the study is looking for

  • Patients must have signed a written informed consent before inclusion
  • Patients must be female ≥ 18 years old
  • Patients diagnosed with a non-metastatic TNBC (ER \& PR \<10%, HER2- per ASCO/CAP guidelines). Patients must have been previously evaluated by a 18F-FDG PET-CT or a bone scintigraphy combined with a thorax, abdomen and pelvis CT scan with contrast
  • Patients who have undergone surgery with curative intent for their non-metastatic TNBC. Surgery must have been performed between 3 to 24 months before inclusion. Patients must have initiated their adjuvant therapy, whenever indicated, since at least 12 weeks. For patients receiving an experimental adjuvant treatment in a clinical trial, any intervention planned as part of this trial must be completed before inclusion.
  • High-risk primary tumor, defined as:
    • Lack of pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (RCB I, II or III; RCB I being capped to a maximum of 30% of included patients) OR, in the absence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy,
    • Stage IIB-III (i.e., T2N1, any T3-T4, any N2-3) OR
    • Any loco-regional relapse occurring after a prior ipsilateral, curatively treated TNBC
  • No sign of local or distant relapse, as per investigator assessment
  • Performance status \< 2
  • Available FFPE tumor block with \> 10% cellularity or 11 tumor sections with \>10% cellularity
  • Patient able to comply with protocol requirements
  • Patients covered by a health insurance

Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: Female · Does not accept healthy volunteers
