Summary

This trial is testing a new imaging technique to study stomach cancer and help choose the best treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis, certain HER2 levels, tumors >= 2 cm, an ECOG status of 0-2, and a life expectancy of at least 3 months. They should not have severe heart issues, other cancers (except skin cancer), be pregnant or breastfeeding, and must agree to use contraception.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab PET/CT scans work in evaluating stomach cancer characteristics to aid treatment decisions. It's for those who haven't had recent chemotherapy, biological therapy or radiation and haven't used trastuzumab in the last six months.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the tracer substance used in imaging (copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab), discomfort from PET/CT procedures such as needle insertion for IVs and lying still during scanning.
