Monitoring HER2+ Breast Cancer Neoadjuvant Treatment With Advanced PET/MRI

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of the study is to see if using an investigational drug called \[18F\]FMISO with PET/MRI imaging can help monitor and predict the effect of trastuzumab (Herceptin) on chemotherapy in patients diagnosed with advanced HER2 positive breast cancer. This study is for imaging purposes only and is not a treatment study. The results of this study will not change a patient's clinical treatment plan but it may help physicians and researchers better understand how best to treat patients with breast cancer in the future.

  2. 2. Weight over 350 lbs., due to the scanner bore size
  3. 3. Lactating, known or suspected pregnancy. Women with child-bearing potential must a have a negative serum β-hCG pregnancy test within 48 hours or a negative urine β-hCG pregnancy test within 48 hours of each PET imaging study.
  4. 4. Contraindication for MRI study (e.g. non-removable metal implants or certain tattoos)
  5. 5. Unable to lie still on the imaging table for one (1) hour
  6. 6. contraindication for gadolinium-based contrast agent, ProHance (gadoteridol)
