Could a simple scan predict breast cancer drug success?

NCT ID NCT06909604

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new PET imaging method that uses a radioactive tracer to spot HER2 proteins on breast cancer cells. The goal is to see if the scan can predict how well patients will respond to antibody-drug conjugate therapy. Researchers will enroll 50 adults with HER2-positive or low tumors who are receiving neoadjuvant therapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Al18F-HER2-BCH (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could help doctors predict which breast cancer patients will benefit from antibody-drug conjugate therapy, avoiding ineffective treatments.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage imaging study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The tracer's ability to predict response is not yet proven.
