New PET scan could replace biopsies for breast cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07294430
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a special PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer to track a protein called HER2 in the body. It aims to see if this imaging can predict how well a targeted cancer drug (T-DXd) works in 30 people with advanced breast cancer. The goal is to potentially replace invasive tumor biopsies with a simple scan.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- radioactive tracer [89Zr]-anti-HER2
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this imaging method could help doctors predict whether a targeted cancer drug is working without needing a tumor biopsy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The imaging technique is experimental and may not reliably predict treatment response.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient must have signed a written informed consent prior to any trial specific procedures. When the patient is physically unable to give their written consent, a trusted person of their choice, independent from the investigator or the sponsor, can confirm in writing the patient's consent; 2. Patients enrolled in the prospective cohort of the OASIS study; 3. Patient with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer eligible to receive T-DXd as part of their standard care; 4. At baseline imaging at least two "target" lesions fulfilling the following criteria: (1) anatomically transaxial diameter ≥ 1.5 cm and measurable per RECIST1.1. and (2) metabolically assessable with a maximum standard uptake value corrected for lean body mass (SUVmax) ≥ 1.5 x SUVmean + 2 standard deviations (SD) of the liver measured in a 3-cm-diameter spherical volume of interest (VOI) in normal liver parenchyma; 5. Patients must be willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the trial; Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients already treated with Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd); 2. Hypersensitivity at the ImmunoPET radioligands injection; 3. Patients who are claustrophobic or unable to remain still for 30 minutes; 4. Female participant who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant while enrolled in this study or within 90 days after the final administration of study treatment; 5. Person deprived of their liberty or under protective custody or guardianship.
