Summary

This trial will test if the drug piflufolastat F18 can help produce clearer images in scans for breast, liver, and pancreatic cancers.

Who is the study for?
Adults with confirmed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or invasive lobular breast cancer who may have metastatic disease. Participants must be able to consent, have a measurable lesion, and an estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months. Pregnant women, those allergic to PSMA PET radiopharmaceuticals, or unable to undergo PET-CT are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of piflufolastat F18 in detecting metastasis through imaging scans in patients with breast cancer, HCC, or pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this can help assess tumor burden and influence treatment decisions.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects for piflufolastat F18 aren't established but could include reactions similar to other PSMA PET radiopharmaceuticals like nausea or discomfort from the injection site.
