About this study

Official title: [18F]FTT Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

This clinical trial studies how well fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace ([18F]FTT) positron emission tomography (PET) works in imaging patients with breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) who are receiving standard of care (SOC) poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors with or without immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) to be able to detect clinical response to PARP inhibitor ± ICI treatment. [18F]FTT is a radiotracer that targets and binds to PARP1 which can potentially be used for the imaging of PARP1 expression using PET. Once administered, [18F]FTT targets and binds to PARP1. Upon PET, PARP1-expressing tumor cells can be visualized. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of tracer, in the case, [18F]FTT. Because some cancers take up [18F]FTT it can be seen with PET. PARP inhibitors work as a targeted therapy by blocking an enzyme involved in repairing cell damage. It may cause tumor cells to die. ICI may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Combining [18F]FTT with a PET scan may help detect tumor cells better in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are receiving standard of care PARP inhibitors with our without ICI treatment.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

Arm I: Patients receive [18F]FTT intravenously (IV) and undergo PET scan 60-75 minutes later on day 1 of initiating SOC PARP inhibitor ± ICI therapy and again at 12 weeks. At least 1-7 days later, patients undergo SOC FDG PET/computed tomography (CT) and follow up scans at 12 weeks and 6 months. Patients may also undergo tissue biopsy during screening and during follow up.

Arm II: Patients receive [18F]FTT IV and undergo PET scan 60-75 minutes later on day 1 of initiating SOC PARP inhibitor ± ICI therapy. At least 1-7 days later, patients undergo SOC FDG PET/CT and follow up scans at 12 weeks and 6 months. Patients may also undergo tissue biopsy during screening.

After initial [18F]FTT PET imaging, patients are followed-up to 6 months or until disease progression.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria on poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor ± immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment. Will use a boxplot to illustrate the difference of standard uptake value (SUV)max and SUVmean between responders and non-responders.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ORR

    Will be assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria on PARP inhibitor ± ICI treatment. Will use the nonparametric method Wilcoxon Rank Sum test to evaluate the difference of the changes of SUVmax and/or SUVmean between responders and non-responders.

    Measured: Baseline up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Best Practice, Biopsy of Breast and Computed Tomography in people with Anatomic Stage IV Breast Cancer AJCC v8 and Metastatic Breast Carcinoma, run by University of Washington at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jennifer Specht, MD (206-606-6889, jspecht@uw.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall response rate (ORR) (time frame: Baseline up to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2026.
