Study Summary

This trial will use PET/CT imaging to look at how well an investigational drug, [18F]fluorothymidine (FLT), works in treating people with metastatic cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic breast cancer that tests positive for the Rb protein. They must be able to receive ribociclib and paclitaxel treatment, have at least one tumor outside of liver and bone detectable by standard imaging, and provide informed consent. Pregnant women or those with serious health or psychological issues are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing how well a special type of PET/CT scan using [18F]FLT can show the growth activity in metastatic breast cancer sites. Participants will also be treated with the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel and the targeted therapy ribociclib.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to the tracer used in PET/CT scans, as well as common chemotherapy-related effects like nausea, fatigue, hair loss from paclitaxel; plus potential risks from ribociclib such as low blood cell counts.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Measure changes in [18F]FLT uptake in metastatic tumors before and during treatment with ribociclib (LEE011) only, patient will have FLT PET/CT scan at baseline, run-in day -3, and cycle 1, day 1 of ribociclib (LEE011)/paclitaxel therapy
Secondary outcome measures
Measure changes in [18F]FLT uptake in metastatic tumors during and after treatment with ribociclib (LEE011) only, patient will have FLT PET/CT scan at baseline, run-in day -3, and cycle 1, day 1 of ribociclib (LEE011)/paclitaxel therapy
