68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for Predicting Histological Response in Triple-negative Breast Cancer (FAP-IT)

68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for Predicting Histological Response to Neoadjuvant Chemo-immunotherapy in Triple-negative Breast Cancer

Prospective multicenter study evaluating the prediction of histological response after neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy by pre-treatment 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT imaging in patients with early-stage high-risk TNBC.

Prospective multicenter study evaluating the prediction of histological response of pembrolizumab in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy by pre-treatment 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT imaging in patients with early-stage high-risk TNBC.

Patients will receive the newly established standard of care of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab 200 mg Q3W given with 4 cycles of paclitaxel + carboplatin, then with 4 cycles of doxorubicin or epirubicin + cyclophosphamide. After definitive surgery, patients will receive adjuvant pembrolizumab for 9 cycles or until recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.

The 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT scan will be performed for each patient pre-therapy and on the same machine as the 18F-FDG PET/CT scan and within 14 days before the start of treatment.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Female with age ≥ 18 years,
2. Patients with previously untreated, non-metastatic, centrally confirmed TNBC for whom a neoadjuvant treatment with chemotherapy + pembrolizumab is the recommended option as standard of care,
3. Patients with measurable targets according to RECIST/PERCIST criteria,
4. Patients without distant metastasis based on staging 18F-FDG PET/CT,
5. Patients with tumor tissue available,
6. Patients who provided a signed written informed consent,
7. Patient ability to comply with protocol requirements,
8. Patients covered by a health insurance system.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Pregnant and lactating women,
2. Patients with prior anti-PD(L)1 immunotherapy,
3. Patients with any contra-indication to chemo-immunotherapy standard of care therapy, per investigator assessment,
4. Patients with altered mental status or psychiatric disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude a valid patient informed consent,
5. Patients who have difficulty undergoing trial procedures for geographic, social or psychological reasons,
6. Person deprived of liberty or under guardianship
