About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative predictive value, and overall accuracy) of 18F-FAPI-04 PET imaging in breast cancer for detecting fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-rich lesions. Additionally, the study will longitudinally monitor dynamic changes in FAP expression levels and tumor size during therapy, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.The non-invasive nature of 18F-FAPI-04 PET addresses limitations of traditional biopsy-dependent stromal evaluation, offering whole-body quantification of tumor microenvironment dynamics to optimize therapeutic decision-making.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18-75 years old, any gender;

Clinically or pathologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer, or suspected recurrence/metastasis;

Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion (RECIST 1.1 criteria);

ECOG score 0-2 and expected survival ≥ 12 weeks;

Disqualifiers

Major surgery or trauma within 4 weeks;

Severe infection, liver or kidney insufficiency;

History of allergies (developer components);

Pregnant/nursing female or not using effective contraception;

Trial population

This study aims to enroll 30 patients aged 18-75 years with clinically or pathologically confirmed breast cancer or suspected recurrence/metastasis, including both early-stage (I-II) and advanced-stage (III-IV) cases. The primary objective is to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring value of 18F-FAPI-04 PET for identifying primary tumors, metastatic lesions, and assessing treatment response. Exclusion criteria include: concurrent malignancies (except non-breast malignancies cured \>5 years prior), severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, and pregnancy.
