Show the study's own words
- "The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is practical (feasible) to use a new type of imaging scan called 68Ga-FAPI PET/MRI (positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging) to evaluate how well breast cancer responds to neoadjuvant chemotherapy."
- Compensation
- Not stated
- Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
- Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
- Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
- Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.
About this study
The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is practical (feasible) to use a new type of imaging scan called 68Ga-FAPI PET/MRI (positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging) to evaluate how well breast cancer responds to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Official eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 * ECOG Performance Status of ≤ 2 * Ability to review and signed informed consent * Histologically confirmed, newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer * Lymph node metastases (either histologically confirmed or radiographic evidence of lymph node metastases). * Planned to undergo SOC NAC prior to surgical resection as outlined in section 4.1 Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnancy or lactation. * Patients who cannot undergo PET/MRI scanning because of: * devices or implants that are not MRI safe * hypersensitivity or known allergy to gadolinium-based contrast agents * physical fitness not allowing scanning in prone for 30 minutes * weight limits (450 lb. weight limit) * Severe kidney disfunction (estimated GFR \< 30 ml/min/1.73 m2) (CKD-EPI (2021)) * Imaging features suspicious for concomitant in-situ cancer (LCIS/DCIS), such as nonbiopsied groups of microcalcifications * Distant metastases (contraindication for NAC)
