Al18F-HER2-BCH PET/CT to Predict Response in Bladder Cancer Patients Treated With HER2 ADC

Not applicable Interventional Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute · NCT06548529

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the predictive and prognostic value of HER2 expression in bladder cancer patients using a molecular PET radionuclide labeled HER2 Affibody. Patients with HER2 positive or suspicious positive tumors who have previously been treated with trastuzumab and taxane will undergo PET imaging to assess their response to anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) treatment. The study aims to determine how well HER2 expression can predict treatment outcomes in this patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with unresectable or metastatic HER2 positive or suspicious positive bladder tumors who have received prior treatment with trastuzumab and taxane.

Not a fit: Patients with significant hepatic or renal dysfunction, those who are pregnant, or individuals with claustrophobia may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized treatment strategies for bladder cancer patients based on HER2 expression levels.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results using similar PET imaging approaches to evaluate treatment responses in cancer patients.
