Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
