What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early study tests a new imaging device that combines two types of breast scans to see how well it detects estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer. Up to 20 women with newly diagnosed breast cancer will receive an injection of a radioactive tracer and then be scanned. The results will not be used to guide treatment, but will help researchers understand if this method could improve future cancer imaging.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
18F-Fluoroestradiol (FES)
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging method could help doctors see the full extent of estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer more clearly, potentially guiding better treatment decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study with only 20 people. It is not designed to change treatment yet, and the imaging results are not used for patient care. The device may not prove better than standard methods.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants will be ≥ 18 years of age. 2. Known ER positive (by immunohistochemistry) breast cancer. 3. At least one lesion ≥ 1.0 cm that is seen on standard imaging (e.g. mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, CT, FDG-PET/CT). Only one type of imaging is required to show a lesion. 4. Participants must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and be willing to provide written informed consent and participate in this study in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines prior to study-specific procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Females who are pregnant or breast feeding will not be eligible for this study; a urine pregnancy test will be performed in women of child-bearing potential prior to PET imaging.. 2. Inability to tolerate imaging procedures in the opinion of an investigator or treating physician. 3. Currently taking tamoxifen or raloxifene 4. Any current medical condition, illness, or disorder as assessed by medical record review and/or self-reported that is considered by a physician investigator to be a condition that could compromise participant safety or successful participation in the study.
