About This Triple Negative Breast Cancer Study in Birmingham

This clinical study will investigate the utility of Fludeoxyglucose (18F) fluoromisonidazole (FMISO), in patients diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (stage II-IV disease), to monitor and predict the effect of immunotherapy. This is a parallel imaging study to current treatment strategies and no clinical decisions or outcomes will be based on the imaging. If promising, this data will be used to design larger trials. A total of 20 patients will be recruited for this study. This trial will not designate the participant's treatment plan; they will be eligible based on their treatment plan designated from their oncologist.

Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham
