Comparison of Different Methods of CAPTure of Circulating Tumour Cells (CTC) in Patients With Metastatic Breast or Prostate Cancer

This trial is a pilot, prospective, single-center study conducted in a population of patients with metastatic breast cancer (whatever the immunohistochemical subtype) or metastatic prostate cancer. The aim of this exploratory study is to compare the sensitivity of three different techniques (CellSearch®, Parsortix® and SmartCatch®) in detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs). After the patient's agreement, and before starting anti-tumor treatment, a blood sample will be taken using the 3 different CTC detection techniques. Each patient will participate in the study for one day. A total of 54 evaluable patients (36 patients with metastatic breast cancer and 18 patients with metastatic prostate cancer) will be included in this interventional study.

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

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%).

Evaluating Dose Timing (Morning vs Evening) of Endocrine-based Therapies in Metastatic Breast and Prostate Cancers

The REaCT-CHRONO-MetBP Pilot study will compare morning and evening administration of endocrine-based therapy in metastatic breast and prostate cancers. Participants with metastatic breast or prostate cancer will be randomly placed in one of two groups: a morning group and an evening group. The group assignment will determine whether they take their endocrine therapy in the morning or the evening. The primary outcome of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of study procedures in order to conduct a larger definitive trial in the future. The secondary outcomes include comparing quality of life, tolerability, and efficacy outcomes between the morning and evening groups for each of the two cancer cohorts (metastatic breast and prostate cancer).

This is an open-label, first-in-human, exploratory Phase 0 study evaluating the safety and diagnostic imaging performance of the DOTA-STR-17126 theranostic pair in patients with advanced or metastatic breast or prostate cancer. The study investigates \[68Ga\]Ga-DOTA-STR-17126 for PET imaging and, in patients with positive GRPR uptake, a low dose of \[177Lu\]Lu-DOTA-STR-17126 for SPECT imaging and dosimetry. The primary objective is to assess safety and tolerability. Secondary objectives include evaluation of imaging quality, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and radiation dosimetry. Exploratory objectives assess correlations between GRPR expression in tumour tissue and imaging uptake. The study is conducted at a single centre in Australia, with 12 evaluable participants (up to 20 enrolled), and supports the development of a GRPR-targeted theranostic approach for personalised cancer management.

Beamion BCGC-1: A Study to Find a Suitable Dose of Zongertinib Used Alone and in Combination With Other Treatments to Test Whether it Helps People With Different Types of HER2+ Cancer That Has Spread

This study is open to adults aged 18 years and older with different types of HER2+ cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery. People can take part in this study if their tumours show HER2 aberrations and previous treatment was not successful. The purpose of this study is to find a suitable dose of zongertinib that people with different types of HER2+ cancer that has spread can tolerate best when taken together with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), with trastuzumab and capecitabine, with zanidatamab, or with mFOLFOX6 (with or without trastuzumab). Another purpose is to check whether zongertinib alone and in combination with other treatments can make tumours shrink. Zongertinib inhibits HER2. HER2 causes cancer cells to grow. In this study, participants receive treatment in cycles. Study participants are treated with zongertinib alone or in combination with other treatments. This study has 2 parts. In Part 1, participants in different groups receive increasing doses of zongertinib. In Part 2, participants are put into different groups by chance. Each group receives a different dose of zongertinib. Every participant has an equal chance of being in each group. During the study, the participants visit the study site regularly. In this study, researchers want to find the highest dose of zongertinib that participants can tolerate when taken together with other treatments. To find this out, researchers look at certain severe health problems that a number of participants have. The doctors regularly check the size of the tumour with imaging methods (CT/MRI) during the study. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

There is no formal hypothesis testing in this study.

Promoting Resilience in Women With Breast Cancer (PRISM -MBC)

This pilot interventional study evaluates the change from baseline to post-intervention in resilience and other patient-reported outcomes for individuals with a recent diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) participating in the Promoting Resilience in Women with Breast Cancer (PRISM) intervention, overall and stratified by race, and to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the PRISM intervention in the MBC population. Black women with MBC have shorter survival from the time of metastatic diagnosis to death, compared to White women with clinically similar disease, and may have more rapid declines in quality of life over time. Adverse social determinants of health may play a role in these outcome disparities, due to both social barriers in accessing care, and through direct stress-mediated biological effects on the host and tumor microenvironment. Interventions to reduce stress and optimize resilience during treatment of MBC may improve quality of life and even improve disease outcomes; however, feasibility of face-to-face intervention during intensive medical treatment is limited. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a remotely delivered resilience intervention, PRISM, already proven effective in other cancer settings, for MBC patients, and to gather preliminary efficacy data for a future randomized trial.

The CDK4/6 Inhibitor Dosing Knowledge (CDK) Study

The purpose of this study is to generate evidence on an alternative dosing strategy for CDK4/6 inhibitors to help more patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) (age ≥ 65 years) tolerate side effects and stay on treatment longer, to derive the most clinical benefit from these drugs. The primary objective of the CDK Study is to compare time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) on the approved dosing for palbociclib (125 mg orally daily on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle) or ribociclib (600 mg orally daily on days 1-21 of 28-day cycle) vs. TTD using titrated dosing approach with the same schedule but starting at a lower dose of palbociclib (100 mg or 75 mg) or ribociclib (400 mg or 200 mg) and escalating the dose if well-tolerated in combination with provider/patient choice endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor (AI) or fulvestrant) in patients age 65 or older with HR+/HER2- MBC. The secondary and exploratory objectives will generate evidence needed to personalize treatment decisions by comparing patient-centric secondary outcomes and evaluating baseline factors. Together with their treating physician, participants will choose the CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib or ribociclib) and which endocrine therapy (aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant) of their choice but will be randomized to either Arm 1 (indicated dosing) or Arm 2 (titrated dosing). Note: Telehealth visits are allowed at any time per institutional guidelines. In addition, the study allows for remote consenting per institutional guidelines.
