Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to image breast cancer tumors using 89Zr-trastuzumab to see if it can predict which patients are likely to respond to targeted HER2 agents as single agent therapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with HER2 positive breast cancer, meeting specific diagnostic criteria. They should be in good physical condition (ECOG status of 0 or 1) and have a heart ejection fraction above 50%. It's not suitable for those who can't undergo MRI, are pregnant, unable to consent, cannot stay still for imaging, or weigh more than 350 lbs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if PET/MRI imaging using [89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab can predict the effectiveness of targeted HER2 therapy in breast cancer patients. The goal is to see if the uptake of this tracer correlates with laboratory measures of HER2 and response to treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the document doesn't list specific side effects from [89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab PET/MRI imaging, potential risks may include allergic reactions to tracers or discomfort during scanning. Standard MRI-related side effects like anxiety in confined spaces could also occur.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: [89Zr]-Df-TrastuzumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
[89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab [89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab will be administered intravenously. The administered dose will be 2 millicurie (mCi) at the time of injection. The amount of injected drug is 5 mg of Trastuzumab. 5-6 days post injection the patients will undergo PET/MRI imaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How extensive is the participant pool for this clinical trial?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov confirms that this trial is enrolling participants, having first been posted on November 21st 2017 and most recently updated February 1st 2022. The total number of individuals needed across one location stands at 10."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment for this research still available?

"Affirmative. Information on clinicaltrials.gov attests to the ongoing recruitment of patients for this medical trial, which was first listed on November 21st 2017 and recently modified in February 1st 2022. The study needs 10 participants from a single site."

Answered by AI

To what pathologies does PET/MRI Imaging typically provide a viable solution?

"Breast cancer patients often turn to PET/MRI imaging for treatment. Nevertheless, this diagnostic method is also instrumental in treating other conditions such as high risk of recurrence, first line treatments and surgery."
