New PET scan agent aims to spot HER2 cancers more safely
NCT ID NCT04692831
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This phase 1 trial tests whether a new radioactive imaging agent, 89Zr-ss-pertuzumab, is safe for detecting HER2-positive breast cancer in 60 participants. The agent is designed to bind to HER2 proteins on cancer cells and show up on PET/CT scans. The main goal is to check for side effects, not yet to measure how well it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 89Zr-ss-pertuzumab (a radioactive imaging agent)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safer and more precise way to detect HER2-positive cancers using PET/CT scans, helping guide treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial focused on safety, not effectiveness. The imaging agent may not work as expected, and results may not apply to all patients.
