Monitoring Breast Cancer Immunotherapy Treatment With Advanced Positron Emission Tomography Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI)

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2027-08-02
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

This clinical study will investigate the utility of Fludeoxyglucose (18F) fluoromisonidazole (FMISO), in patients diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (stage II-IV disease), to monitor and predict the effect of immunotherapy. This is a parallel imaging study to current treatment strategies and no clinical decisions or outcomes will be based on the imaging. If promising, this data will be used to design larger trials. A total of 20 patients will be recruited for this study. This trial will not designate the participant's treatment plan; they will be eligible based on their treatment plan designated from their oncologist.

• Phase: Early Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
