Study Summary

This trial tests if PET/MRI scans can detect AR-positive breast cancer with accuracy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with progressive metastatic breast cancer that tests positive for androgen receptors (AR+). They should be planning to receive antiandrogen therapy, have a decent performance status (ECOG 0-2), and not just have CNS disease. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with MRI unsafe implants, severe allergies to contrast materials, or very limited life expectancy cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of using two types of PET scans - one with a tracer called 18F-FDHT and another with 18F-FDG - in detecting AR-positive breast cancer in women. These scans could help identify if certain treatments targeting the antiandrogen pathway might work.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the PET/MRI scans may include reactions to tracers like mild pain or discomfort at injection site. Allergic reactions to contrast material used during MRI can occur but are rare. The scan itself is non-invasive but requires lying still for periods.
