NCT ID NCT03321045

First seen Jan 30, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests a new PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer (89Zr-trastuzumab) to see how much HER2 protein is in breast cancer tumors. The goal is to find out if this scan can predict which patients will respond to HER2-targeted therapy. About 10 adults with newly diagnosed HER2-positive breast cancer will receive the tracer and then have a PET/MRI scan. The study aims to improve treatment selection and avoid ineffective therapies.
