[18F]ISO-1 Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) in Primary Breast Cancer

In this study, positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging will be used to evaluate sigma-2 (σ2) receptor activity in sites of primary breast cancer using the investigational radiotracer [18F]ISO-1.

About this study

This study will evaluate the feasibility of using [18F]ISO-1 PET/CT to image sigma-2 receptor binding in primary breast tumors and continue to evaluate the safety of the tracer in this patient population. [18F]ISO-1 uptake measures will be correlated with qualitative immunohistochemical staining for cell proliferation (Ki67). This is an observational study in that [18F]ISO-1 PET/CT will not be used to direct treatment decisions.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult patients, at least 18 years of age
  • Known or suspected breast cancer with at least one breast lesion that is 1 cm or greater in size by standard imaging (e.g. mammography, ultrasound or breast MRI)
  • Participants must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and provide written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines prior to study-specific procedures

Exclusion criteria

  • Females who are pregnant at the time of screening will not be eligible for this study, urine or serum pregnancy test will be performed in women of child-bearing potential at the time of screening.
  • Inability to tolerate imaging procedure in the opinion of an investigator or treating physician
  • Serious or unstable medical or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the subject's safety or successful participation in the study.
  • Unwilling or unable to provide informed consent.
