Evaluating in Vivo PARP-1 Expression With 18F-FluorThanatrace Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) in Breast Cancer

Description:

Up to 30 evaluable participants with known or suspected breast cancer (BIRADS 5 by imaging) will undergo FTT PET/CT imaging before primary surgery or neoadjuvant therapy. Patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy may choose to have a second FTT PET/CT scan after the start of therapy (1 days to 3 weeks). FTT PET/CT uptake will be correlated with pathology measures and treatment response, in subjects undergoing neoadjuvant therapy

Isotope(s):
Target(s):
  • PARP
Ligand Class: Small Molecules
Inclusion
  • At least one breast lesion one breast lesion that is 1 cm or greater in size by standard imaging (e.g. mammography, ultrasound or breast MRI). Only one type of imaging is required to show a lesion of 1 cm or greater in order for the patient to be eligible to participate in this study. Patients that have a prior diagnosis of primary breast cancer in the opposite breast can be included.
  • Known or suspected (BIRADS 5 on imaging) primary breast cancer
  • Willing to allow use orcollection of pathology tissue for the purposes of research from either clinical biopsy or surgical procedure (if adequate tissue is available) or research only biopsy
