Imaging Overview

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 5


The Imaging Protocol is designed to ensure consistent data
acquisition across all patients and all imaging sites within the trial,
to facilitate data analysis and minimize the number of rejected
images and repeats and ultimately to provide the Sponsor with the
most accurate and timely results possible.

Details

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 8


Patient ID Number

2001
Each patient will be identified by a 4
digit number assigned by the Sponsor.

The Patient ID Number is used on all documentation and


correspondence when referring to the patient and should
remain consistent throughout the study.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 9


CT/MRI Imaging Timepoints

Each patient will undergo a CT/MRI scan of the chest,


abdomen and pelvis (CAP).

At the following timepoints:


Baseline

Every 6 weeks for 36 weeks

Every 9 weeks thereafter

Unscheduled Week _____

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 10


Safety Screening
Each patient shall be evaluated for potential contraindications prior to any
examination such as allergy to contrast or renal insufficiency.

If CT contrast is contraindicated then a non-contrast CT scan of the chest and


a pre and post contrast enhanced MRI of the abdomen will be performed.

The screening shall be consistent with the imaging site policies for CT
examinations.

Use the same modality throughout the study. If you must change modalities
contact VirtualScopics prior to scanning the patient

For MRI, patients with unsafe ferromagnetic metal implants as well as patients
suffering from uncontrollable claustrophobia or physically unable to fit into the
machine (e.g. obesity, etc.) shall be excluded.

Please ensure the following: patient is comfortable on the table, has emptied
their bladder completely, and is wearing comfortable clothing that does not
interfere with image acquisition. Follow your site standard of care for patient
preparation.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 11


CT Contrast Requirements

Chest, Abdomen, Pelvis

Contrast volumes and concentrations for both oral and


intravenous contrast shall be consistent with standard dosing
per your site protocol.

Intravenous contrast medium (non-ionic contrast medium) shall


be administered via a cannula that will allow at least 2 cc/s
using power injection.

Recommended time delay between the start of the injection and


the start of scanning is approximately 70 seconds.

If CT is contraindicated, recommend performing a non-contrast


CT of the chest and a pre and post contrast enhanced MRI of
the abdomen and pelvis.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 12


CT Protocol

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 13


MRI Contrast Requirements

Abdomen, Pelvis

If CT contrast is contraindicated then a non-contrast CT


of the chest and a contrast enhanced MRI of the
abdomen and pelvis will be performed.

Contrast brand and dosage shall be consistent with


standard dosing per site protocol.

The recommended time delay between contrast injection


and the start of scanning is a minimum of one minute.

Follow your site standard of care.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 14


MRI Protocol

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 15


Breast Imaging Timepoints

For patients with only locally advanced disease extension and


no measurable lesions on (CAP) CT scan, an MRI scan of the
breast will be performed at baseline and as clinically indicated.

At the following timepoints:


Baseline

Every 6 weeks for 36 weeks

Every 9 weeks thereafter

Unscheduled Week _____

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 16


Breast Contrast Requirements
Breast MRI

Breast imaging should be performed


without and with contrast-enhancement
(pre and post gadolinium chelate IV)
preferably with an MRI compatible
power injector. The contrast injection
should be followed by a saline bolus
injection.

Contrast brand and concentrations shall


be consistent with standard dosing per
site protocol.

Please ensure contrast brand, dosage


(0.1 mmol/Kg) and injection rate are
consistent from timepoint to timepoint.

IV access should be established prior


to scanning.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 17


MRI Breast Protocol

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 18


Brain Image Acquisition

For patients with treated brain metastases, a gadolinium-enhanced


MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan will be performed at
Baseline.

Please follow your site standard of care.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 19


Bone Scan Imaging Timepoints

ALL patients will receive a


bone scintigraphy scan at
the following timepoints:

At the following timepoints:


Baseline
ONLY patients with bone
(within 28 days of randomization)

Prior Bone scintigraphy (obtained as part of routine
lesions identified at baseline
clinical care) within 45 days before randomization is will received a follow up bone
also acceptable.
scan at the following:
timepoints:
At the following timepoints:
Every 24 weeks thereafter
(± 3 business days) 
As clinically indicated

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 20


Bone Scan Image Acquisition
For ONLY patients with bone lesions
identified at baseline, a follow up bone
scan will be performed every 24 weeks
(±3 business days) or as clinically
indicated
If a patient with bone lesions at
baseline experiences a CR, bone
scintigraphy should be performed every
24 weeks (± 3 business days) and until
disease progression to detect new
lesions.
Please note: For patients with no bone
lesions at baseline, bone scintigraphy
should be performed only if there is
clinical suspicion of disease progression
in bone, even if a CR is achieved.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 21


Additional Bone Imaging Guidance
For patients with bone lesions not
identified a CT (CAP CT)/MRI,
perform bone-directed imaging (X-
ray, CT scan with bone windows, or
MRI) at baseline and repeatedly
every 6 weeks (± 3 business days) for
36 weeks from first dose of study
therapy, then every 9 weeks (± 3
business days), and within 14 days of
clinical progression.

Whichever modality is selected at baseline (X-ray, CT w/bone


windows or MRI) must continue to be used throughout the study.
The X-ray, CT w/bone windows or MRI protocol should be
consistent with your site standard of care.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 22


Digital Photography Imaging Timepoints

Patients with visible skin lesions should have digital photograph(s) taken.

At the following timepoints:


Baseline

Every 6 weeks for 36 weeks

Every 9 weeks thereafter

Unscheduled Week _____

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 23


Skin Lesions

Document measurable skin lesions by color photography, including a


ruler to estimate the size of the lesion.

Standard of care procedures for acquiring the photos should be


followed. It is best to take one close-up photo and one panoramic to ID
the anatomy.

Rulers and cameras are not being provided to the site.

TM-32719-02/ v:2.0 ed: 2016-06-27 24


•Download the images to the computer.
•Save images in JPEG or JPG format.

Skin Lesions
Include in Photograph:
• Ruler
• Patient ID and Exam Date

Recommendations:
• Take photo at same distance for each timepoint.
• Once a photo is taken, continue to do so at each
timepoint.
• Take the picture and ensure that the tumor and
ruler are in focus and the camera date is visible on
the photograph.
• Assess image quality before the patient leaves,
retake photo if needed
• Download the images to the computer.
• Save images in JPEG or JPG format.
