Imaging of Primary or Recurrent Breast Cancer With 18F-FluorThanatrace Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT)

Overview

Patients with known or suspected, in the opinion of an investigator, primary or metastatic breast cancer may be eligible for this study. Up to 30 evaluable patients will undergo study imaging in this protocol. The imaging procedure may include one or both of the following imaging sessions; 1) a 45- 60 minute dynamic scan, starting at approximately the same time as the injection and/or 2) a skull base to mid-thigh scan starting approximately 60 minutes post injection of [18F]FTT. The planned scanning protocol will be selected by an investigator and will be discussed with the subject prior to the imaging visit. The PET/CT scan will include an injection of [18F]FTT. Data will be collected to evaluate uptake of [18F]FTT in breast cancer and compare with PARP-1 activity in tissue, when available. If patients are getting neoadjuvant or other systemic therapy, a second optional scan may be performed 1 day to 3 weeks after therapy begins to evaluate whether response correlates with increase in PARP-1 activity.response correlates with increase in PARP-1 activity.
