First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a new imaging agent called [99mTc]Tc-ZHER2:4107 to see how well it can detect different levels of HER2 protein in breast cancer tumors. Fifty participants will receive one injection followed by a SPECT/CT scan. The goal is to improve diagnosis and help doctors choose the right treatment without needing a tissue biopsy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Technetium-99m-labelled affibody [99mTc]Tc-ZHER2:4107

What this could lead to

If successful, this imaging method could help doctors better identify HER2 status in breast cancer without needing a biopsy, guiding more personalized treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-phase trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The imaging agent's accuracy and safety are still being tested.
