Monitoring Breast Cancer Immunotherapy Treatment With Advanced Positron Emission Tomography Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) (NCT04861077)

Monitoring Breast Cancer Immunotherapy Treatment With Advanced PET/MRI: A Pilot Study

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Early Phase1 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.
