New PET scans could predict who benefits from targeted breast cancer therapy

NCT ID NCT07471776

First seen Mar 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests whether two types of PET scans can predict how well a targeted therapy works in people with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. The therapy, called a TROP2 antibody-drug conjugate, delivers chemotherapy directly to cancer cells. Researchers will scan 45 participants before treatment to see if imaging can forecast outcomes. The goal is to develop a prediction model that helps doctors choose the right treatment for each patient.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Sacituzumab Govitecan, Datopotamab deruxtecan, Sacituzumab tirumotecan (TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugates)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients will benefit from TROP2-targeted therapies, making treatment more personalized and effective.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study focused on imaging prediction, not treatment outcomes. The prediction model may not prove accurate enough for routine use.
