Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a prospective study to assess the impact of biomarker driven, early therapeutic switching and delayed imaging with the incorporation of DiviTum® serum TK1 activity ("DiviTum® TKa") in patients with HR positive, HER-2 negative metastatic or unresectable breast cancer. Patients will receive first-line treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and endocrine therapy. All patients will have blood drawn for thymidine kinase activity (TKa) testing at baseline and at C1D15. Patients who are found to have a lack of TKa suppression at C1D15 will be recommended to switch to an alternative therapy. Patients with suppressed C1D15 TKa levels will continue on CDK4/6i and endocrine therapy until clinical progression. Patients with TKa which remains suppressed will be recommended to delay restaging scans from 24 weeks to 36 weeks. The investigators hypothesize that a patient's TKa level at C1D15 is prognostic for progression-free survival (PFS) on a CDK4/6 inhibitor and early therapeutic switching in patients with a lack of C1D15 TKa suppression will be associated with prolonged PFS.
