99mTc-DARPinG3 SPECT/CT for Non-invasive HER2-AX in Breast Cancer With Metastatic Lymph Nodes Before Targeted Therapy

June 23, 2026 updated by: Tomsk National Research Medical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences

SPECT/CT Imaging of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Expression in Primary Tumour and Metastatic Axillary Lymph Nodes Using Technetium-99m-labelled DARPinG3 Molecule-based.

An open-label, single center study with 99mTc-DARPinG3 SPECT/CT and biopsies of primary tumour and metastatic lymph nodes in breast cancer patients, where the primary endpoint of the study is to find out the correlation between the HER2 expression measured by 99mTc-DARPinG3 SPECT/CT and standard histopathology from relevant tumor and lymph node biopsies.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Overall goal of the project: To determine HER2 expression level in primary breast cancer and axillary lymph node metastases before chemo/targeted therapy.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Breast cancer female patients

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SPECT/CT-based 99mTc-DARPinG3 uptake in tumor lesions
Time Frame: 4 hours
SPECT/CT-based 99mTc-DARPinG3 uptake value in tumor lesions (counts)/SUV of 99mTc-DARPinG3 focal uptake coinciding with tumor lesions is assessed using SPECT/CT at 4 hours after injection and measured in counts and SUV
4 hours
SPECT/CT-based 99mTc-DARPinG3 uptake value in metastatic lymph nodes
Time Frame: 4 hours
SPECT/CT-based 99mTc-DARPinG3 uptake value in metastatic lymph nodes (counts)/SUV of 99mTc-DARPinG3 focal uptake coinciding with tumor lesions is assessed using SPECT/CT at 4 hours after injection and measured in counts and SUV
4 hours
Tumor-to-background ratio (SPECT)
Time Frame: 4 hours
The SPECT-based tumor-to-background ratio will be calculated as follows: the value of 99mTc-DARPinG3 uptake coinciding with tumor lesions (counts/SUV) will be divided by the value of 99mTc-DARPinG3 uptake coinciding with the regions without pathological findings (counts/SUV)
4 hours
LN-to-background LN ratio (SPECT)
Time Frame: 4 hours
The SPECT-based LN-to-background LN ratio will be calculated as follows: the value of 99mTc-DARPinG3 uptake coinciding with LN lesions (counts/SUV) will be divided by the value of 99mTc-DARPinG3 uptake coinciding with the regions without pathological findings (counts/SUV)
4 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Morphological and immunohistochemical verification of 99mTc-DARPinG3 accumulation
Time Frame: 4 hours
Comparison of the 99mTc-DARPinG3 accumulation in the primary tumor and metastatic lymph nodes with the results of morphological and immunohistochemical studies
4 hours
