Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing whether a new radioactive imaging agent, called [99mTc]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C, can safely and effectively visualize breast cancer tumors using SPECT/CT imaging. The study involves about 10 people with primary triple-negative or luminal breast cancer. Participants receive a single injection of the agent, followed by imaging at several time points to see how it distributes in the body and whether it highlights tumors. The goal is to gather initial information on safety, tolerability, and imaging capability.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a radioactive imaging agent called [99mTc]Tc-DARPinEc1-G3C, given as a single injection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new imaging method to better visualize breast cancer tumors, potentially improving detection and treatment planning.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The imaging agent's safety and effectiveness are still uncertain.
