About this trial
This clinical trial examines an investigational scan (64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab positron emission tomography \[PET\]/magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) in imaging patients with HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastasis). Diagnostic procedures, such as 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET/MRI, may help find HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain and determine whether cancer in the brain takes up trastuzumab, which may predict for response to trastuzumab deruxtecan (the standard of care chemotherapy).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percent of patients with quantifiable 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET uptake
Percentage of patient with quantifiable 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET imaging (maximum standardized uptake value\[SUVmax\]) uptake in brain lesions.
Comparison of average min SUVmax values in responders versus non-responders.
Comparison evaluated using a non-parametric test. The lowest SUVmax (minimum SUVmax) across the lesions will be the primary metric used. Response assessment for CNS disease is determined by MRI of the brain using Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria.
Secondary outcomes
Progression-free Survival
Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier. Progression defined by any of the following: \> 25% increase in sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of enhancing lesions; any new lesion; or clinical deterioration.
