About this trial
This prospective, single-center, open-label study aims to evaluate the safety, biodistribution, and tumor imaging characteristics of the novel ACE1-targeted PET radiotracer 68Ga-DOTA-BPP in patients with confirmed or suspected triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Participants will undergo \^68Ga-DOTA-BPP PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Visual and semiquantitative imaging analyses will be performed to assess tracer uptake in tumor lesions and normal organs. The relationship between \^68Ga-DOTA-BPP uptake and ACE1 expression will also be explored in participants with available tumor tissue.
