Can a new imaging agent light up breast cancer tumors?
NCT ID NCT07784660
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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.
