[Python] Removing unused lookup_field generated from router on viewset

I have a viewset on a "/me" endpoint that doesn't require a lookup_field for detailing, as it uses the current request user for filtering, retrieving a single result.

class ClientProfileDetail(
mixins.RetrieveModelMixin, mixins.UpdateModelMixin, viewsets.GenericViewSet
):
permission_classes = [IsOwnerOrAdmin]
queryset = ClientProfile.objects.all()
serializer_class = ClientProfileSerializer

def get_object(self):
queryset = self.get_queryset()
obj = get_object_or_404(queryset, pk=self.request.user)
return obj


I'm registering the viewset using the default router:

router.register(r"me", ClientProfileDetail)

profile/ ^me/(?P<pk>[^/.]+)/$ [name='clientprofile-detail']
profile/ ^me/(?P<pk>[^/.]+)\.(?P<format>[a-z0-9]+)/?$ [name='clientprofile-detail']


My question is: How can i remove the (?P<pk>[/.]+)/$ on my routes
