Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To analyze the metabolic activity of Hormone Receptor Positive (HR+)/Her 2 Negative (Her2-) Breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will be asked to receive a glucose infusion (U-13C- glucose intravenous) during routine breast cancer surgery at which time, tumor biopsy samples and blood samples will be collected to be used in research experiments to help provide insight into the metabolic activity of the tumor. The length of time on study for each patient will be three - four weeks including two to three hours for glucose infusion and breast cancer biopsy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Metabolic activity of Hormone Receptor Positive (HR+)/Her 2 Negative (Her2-) Breast cancer

Administration of U-13C-glucose to participants with early-stage HR+/Her2- breast cancer fitting criteria, will be done intraoperatively at the time of resection, as well as blood sample collection.

This will allow for in depth evaluation of glycolysis as well as TCA cycle, lipid and amino acid metabolism and comprehensive genomic analyses to complement the metabolic assays that will be done by the Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research. HR+/Her2- breast cancer subtype is chosen for this feasibility pilot study given that metabolic studies have not been done in this subtype of breast cancer and it makes up the majority of breast cancer cases.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

U-13C-glucose

Intervention Type DRUG

Discover new insights into the glucose, TCA cycle, amino acid, and lipid metabolic dependencies of HR+/Her2- breast cancer, via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analysis of in vivo U-13C-glucose-labeled biopsy of tumor and benign adjacent tissue

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Have hormone receptor (HR) positive \[estrogen receptor( ER)+/progesterone receptor (PR)+, ER+/PR- or ER-/PR+)/Her2 negative breast cancer previously diagnosed by biopsy.
* Have early stage, clinical or anatomic stage I, II or III breast cancer (cT1cN0, cT1cN1, cT2N0, cT2N1, cT3N0)
* Candidates for intended curative primary resection who have not had neoadjuvant therapy (endocrine/hormonal therapy, chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy).
* Willing to undergo mandatory intraoperative small excisional and core biopsies (4-6 passes) of tumor and normal tissue for research purposes at the time of proposed surgical resection.

Exclusion Criteria

* Is currently enrolled, or will enroll in, a different clinical study in which investigational therapeutic procedures are performed or investigational therapies are administered while participating in this study.
* Has triple negative (ER-/PR-/Her2-) or HER2+ breast cancer.
* Concomitant active malignancy
* Is of child-bearing potential who has not had a recent negative pregnancy test done outside of this clinical trial (i.e., as part of standard preparation for diagnosis and treatment for her cancer)
