NCT ID NCT02226276

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

Summary

This study tested whether a special PET scan using a radioactive tracer can predict how well patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer respond to the drug T-DM1. Ten women with cancer that had spread to other parts of the body received the scan before treatment. The goal was to see if the scan's images could tell doctors which patients would benefit from T-DM1, helping avoid ineffective treatments.
