Can a smarter scan spot breast cancer treatment failure faster?
NCT ID NCT07130344
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of scans—standard CT and bone scans versus PET-CT—to see which better evaluates how well the drug trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) works in people with HER2 low metastatic breast cancer. About 262 participants will be split into two groups and scanned every 3 months. The goal is to find out if PET-CT can identify non-responders earlier, potentially avoiding unnecessary side effects and costs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that PET-CT scans detect treatment response earlier than standard CT scans, helping doctors avoid ineffective treatments sooner.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational imaging study, not testing a new drug. The results may not change practice if PET-CT doesn't prove clearly better than standard scans.
