Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Diagnostic Validation Cohort
Patients with newly diagnosed or suspected breast cancer will undergo one [68Ga]Ga-TTP scan and one [18F]FDG scan within 1 week, in randomized order, with no anticancer treatment administered between the two imaging examinations. This cohort is used to evaluate tumor targeting, compare diagnostic performance with [18F]FDG, and correlate imaging findings with pathology and TROP2 expression.
Drug: 18F-FDG
[18F]FDG is administered intravenously as the comparator PET radiotracer. In the diagnostic validation cohort, participants undergo one [18F]FDG PET examination within 1 week of the [68Ga]Ga-TTP scan, with no treatment between scans. In the ADC response assessment cohort, participants undergo [18F]FDG PET imaging at the same three time points as [68Ga]Ga-TTP: before ADC therapy, after 2 cycles(each cycle is 21 days), and at disease progression. The planned administered activity is approximately 0.1-0.15 mCi/kg.
Drug: [68Ga]Ga-TTP
[68Ga]Ga-TTP is a TROP2-targeted PET radiotracer administered intravenously for PET imaging. In the diagnostic validation cohort, participants undergo one [68Ga]Ga-TTP PET examination within 1 week of the comparator [18F]FDG scan. In the ADC response assessment cohort, participants undergo [68Ga]Ga-TTP PET imaging before ADC therapy, after 2 cycles of treatment(each cycle is 21 days), and at disease progression. The planned administered activity is approximately 0.05-0.1 mCi/kg.
Experimental: ADC Response Assessment Cohort
Patients with breast cancer who are planned to receive TROP2-directed ADC therapy will undergo paired [68Ga]Ga-TTP and [18F]FDG imaging at three time points: before treatment, after 2 cycles of ADC therapy(each cycle is 21 days), and at disease progression. This cohort is used to assess longitudinal imaging changes and their relationship with treatment response.
Drug: 18F-FDG
[18F]FDG is administered intravenously as the comparator PET radiotracer. In the diagnostic validation cohort, participants undergo one [18F]FDG PET examination within 1 week of the [68Ga]Ga-TTP scan, with no treatment between scans. In the ADC response assessment cohort, participants undergo [18F]FDG PET imaging at the same three time points as [68Ga]Ga-TTP: before ADC therapy, after 2 cycles(each cycle is 21 days), and at disease progression. The planned administered activity is approximately 0.1-0.15 mCi/kg.
Drug: [68Ga]Ga-TTP
[68Ga]Ga-TTP is a TROP2-targeted PET radiotracer administered intravenously for PET imaging. In the diagnostic validation cohort, participants undergo one [68Ga]Ga-TTP PET examination within 1 week of the comparator [18F]FDG scan. In the ADC response assessment cohort, participants undergo [68Ga]Ga-TTP PET imaging before ADC therapy, after 2 cycles of treatment(each cycle is 21 days), and at disease progression.

Time Frame: At baseline PET/CT imaging and from 4 weeks before to 8 weeks after baseline imaging for pathological tissue assessment.
