NCT ID NCT05742269

First seen Mar 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study aimed to see if a special PET/CT scan could better identify which patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer would benefit from immunotherapy. The scan looks for a protein called PD-L1 throughout the whole body, unlike standard biopsies that only test one spot. Only 3 people enrolled before the study ended, so results are limited.
