NCT ID NCT02284919

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests a special PET scan tracer called [18F]ISO-1 to see if it can detect sigma-2 receptors in breast cancer tumors. About 30 adults with known or suspected breast cancer will receive the tracer and undergo imaging. The goal is to see if the tracer's uptake matches tumor growth rates, which could lead to better imaging without direct treatment.
