The Use of FES-PET Imaging as a Tool to Detect a Possible Reversion of Estrogen Receptor (ER)-α Status in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer HER2 + and ERα Neg Treated With Trastuzumab + Pertuzumab + Taxane.

Plain-language summary
This is an exploratory, prospective and multicentric study aiming to highlight by FES-PET imaging that an anti-HER2 treatment by trastuzumab + pertuzumab can reverse the ERα status in patients with metastatic breast cancer HER2 + and ERα neg.
For each included patient, 2 FES-PET Imaging will be performed for the study (before cancer treatment initiation and before the cycle 3 of treatment) at the IUCT-O center (Institut Universitaire du Cancer de Toulouse).
Treatment (trastuzumab + pertuzumab + taxane) will be administered according to the current recommendations in each participant center.
Patients will be followed during the 3 cycles of treatment.

. Patient with metastatic breast cancer HER2 + (IHC+++ and/or HER2 amplification in ISH according to ASCO recommendations), ERα neg (0% in IHC) and Progesterone Receptor neg (0% in IHC).
. Patient eligible according to the investigator for a treatment with trastuzumab + pertuzumab + taxane in the metastatic first line.
. Available biopsy of a tumor lesion (archived material) or biopsiable tumor lesion for study (primitive tumor or metastasis other than bone).

. For non-menopausal patients, use of an effective contraceptive method at entry into the study and for the duration of the study.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
