NCT ID NCT06557148
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two types of PET scans to see which is better at finding and tracking metastatic lobular breast cancer. About 30 adults with this type of cancer will receive both an experimental FES PET/CT scan and a standard FDG PET/CT scan. The goal is to improve detection and monitoring of the disease.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients will be recruited from breast medical oncology clinics, with a concerted effort to recruit a diverse group of patients. Recruitment will be led by Co-PI Komal Jhaveri, MD, Assistant Attending, Breast Medicine Service. Eligible patients will be approached to enroll in the protocol and provide written informed consent. Potential research subjects will be identified by a member of the patient's treatment team, the protocol investigator, or research team at MSK. If the investigator is a member of the treatment team, s/he will screen their patient's medical records for suitable research study participants and discuss the study and their potential for enrolling in the research study.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patient \> 18 years old * Biopsy-proven metastatic ILC * Confirmed ER+ breast cancer from either primary tumor or metastatic biopsy (ER receptor percent staining ≥ 10% of tumor cells by IHC) * HER2-negative per ASCO/CAP * ECOG Performance Status Score of 0, 1 or 2. * Patient can have received up to 2 lines of therapy in the metastatic setting * Life expectancy of at least 12 months Exclusion Criteria: * Low ER expression defined as ER \<10% of tumor cells by IHC * Patients who have been on adjuvant ER-blocking endocrine therapy with SERM or SERD without an 8- and 24-weeks washout, respectively. (The use of aromatase inhibitors or ovarian suppression is permitted given that they do not block estrogen receptors). * Pregnancy or lactation or parturient or nursing mother * Patient presents with any other clinically active, serious, life-threatening disease, medical, or psychiatric condition, and/or who has a life expectancy of \<12 months, or for whom study participation may compromise their management; and/or a patient who the investigator judges to be unsuitable for participation in the study for any reason.
