[18F] Fluoroestradiol (FES) PET as a Predictive Measure for Endocrine Therapy in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Breast Cancer
Study on Investigational Imaging Drug for Evaluating Breast Cancer
Brief description of study.
The purpose of this research study is to test if an imaging drug, not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), called FES, is useful for evaluating your type of cancer and predicting how well your cancer responds to therapy.
Detailed description of study
This phase II trial studies F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol (FES) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in predicting response to endocrine therapy in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: breast cancer
-
Age: 18 years - 100 years
-
Gender: All
This study investigates the use of an imaging drug to evaluate breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, known as metastatic breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to see if the imaging drug can help predict how well the cancer responds to therapy. Metastatic means the cancer has moved from its original location to other parts of the body.
In this study, participants will undergo positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scans. These scans are special types of imaging that allow doctors to see inside the body and evaluate the cancer. The study uses a specific imaging drug that is not yet approved by the FDA to see if it can be effective in predicting treatment responses.
- Who can participate: Participants must be adults diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Additional eligibility criteria include specific health conditions and prior treatment history.
- Study details: Participants will receive PET, a type of scan that shows how tissues and organs are functioning, and CT, a type of scan that provides detailed images of internal organs, using an investigational imaging drug. These scans aim to determine how the cancer is responding to treatment. The imaging drug is not yet approved by the FDA.
