About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

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 9 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.

Disqualifiers

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

Male participants

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

Patients who have difficulty undergoing trial procedures for geographic, social or psychological reasons
