This pilot observational study is being done to identify possible biomarkers of response to endocrine therapy in patients with ER/PR+ metastatic lobular breast cancer (LBC) starting new endocrine therapy. 18F-fluorofuranylnorprogesterone Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FFNP-PET/CT) and liquid biopsies will be performed at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. Baseline levels and dynamic on-treatment changes in estrogen signaling as measured by FFNP-PET/CT and circulating tumor cell (CTC) liquid biopsy will be correlated with clinical response to endocrine therapy and progression-free survival in the above cohort of patients.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Willing to provide informed consent 2. Individuals at least 18 years of age 3. Have biopsy-proven ER/PR-positive (defined as ER ≥1 percent and PR ≥1 percent by IHC) and HER2-negative advanced or metastatic LBC starting new standard of care endocrine therapy 4. Adequate organ function as indicated by standard laboratory tests (CBC, liver function tests or CMP) allowing for systemic breast cancer treatment per treating oncologist 5. Patients with evaluable bone-only disease that is lytic or mixed lytic-sclerotic are eligible 6. Willing to comply with all study procedures…
The dose of the investigational imaging agent, FFNP, is approximately 7 millicurie (mCi) (259 megabecquerels (MBq)), IV slow infusion over approximately two minutes followed by saline flush.
20ml of whole blood will be collected into two Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes at each timepoint, CTCs are isolated using the microfluidic Versatile Exclusion-based Rare Sample Analysis (VERSA) platform that integrates CTC capture with RNA extraction on a single chip using Exclusion-Based Sample Preparation (ESP) technology
