Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging With Zirconium-89 (89Zr)-Trastuzumab for Prediction of HER2 Targeted Therapy Effectiveness

January 23, 2026 updated by: Suzanne E. Lapi, PhD, University of Alabama at Birmingham

PET Imaging With 89Zr-Trastuzumab for Prediction of HER2 Targeted Therapy Effectiveness

Our goal is to investigate the use of 89Zr-trastuzumab as a HER2 imaging agent to determine which patients are likely to respond to targeted HER2 agents as single agent therapy. We are proposing to perform a pilot study with goals of demonstrating the feasibility of imaging breast cancer patients with 89Zr-trastuzumab-PET/MRI, evaluating the relationship between tumor 89Zr-trastuzumab uptake and in vitro positivity of HER2, assessing the relationship between 89Zr-trastuzumab uptake and response to HER2 therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: [89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab
[89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab [89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab will be administered intravenously. The administered dose will be 2 millicurie (mCi) at the time of injection. The amount of injected drug is 5 mg of Trastuzumab. 5-6 days post injection the patients will undergo PET/MRI imaging.
Drug: [89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab
[89Zr]-Df-Trastuzumab will be administered intravenously. The administered dose will be 2 mCi at the time of injection. The amount of injected drug is 5 mg of Trastuzumab.
Diagnostic test: PET/MRI Imaging
5-6 days post injection the patients will undergo PET/MRI imaging.
