About this trial
RADIOSPHER2 study is a monocentric, retrospective, observational study aiming at identifying a radiomics signature able to predict HER2 expression (0 vs low vs overexpression) and trastuzumab deruxtecan efficacy in metastatic breast cancer patients. The study also encompasses translational analyses and inter-modal correlations in order to provide novel insights about HER2 spatial and temporal heterogeneity, at the macroscopic and microscopic levels.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with metastatic breast cancer underwent a liver, lung, pleural or bone biopsy in the metastatic setting, performed from 01Jan2005 to 01Jan2024.
Disqualifiers
Not available imaging (CT scan and/or PET-FdG scan) in the three months before the biopsy or before the last previous treatment interruption;
Unknown HER2 status;
Node, soft tissue or other visceral as biopsy site.
Trial population
The population of the study will consists with a cohort of patients with metastatic breast cancer underwent a liver, lung, pleural or bone biopsy in the metastatic setting at the Sponsor Institution with available imaging (CT scan and/or PET-FdG scan), performed from 01Jan2005 to 01Jan2024.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
HER2 protein expression
To identify a radiomic signature ("radiobiopsy") able to predict the HER2 status on a specific metastasic site of mBC patients based on radiologic images (CT scan, PET-FdG)
Progression-Free Survival
To test the accuracy of "radiobiopsy" in predicting PFS in a cohort of metastatic breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan.
Secondary outcomes
HER2 intratumoral heterogeneity
To identify a pathomic-based model able to predict intratumoral HER2 heterogeneity on pathology slides of HER2-positive and HER2-low mBC patients
HER2 interlesional heterogeneity
To test the concordance between intratumoral and inter-lesional HER2 heterogeneity in HER2-positive and HER2-low mBC patients.
Radiomics agnostic features
To correlate the features included in the radiomic model with the transcriptomics data obtain from bulk-RNAseq from biopsies, in order to explain agnostic features discovered with radiomics.
