Study aim
-
The efficiency of endoradiotherapy with 177Lu-Trastuzumab in patients with resistant or relapsed HER2-positive breast cancer
-
Design
-
This is an interventional clinical trial with a single group design of 15 patients, performing between January 2022 and June 2023 that will be followed between treatment sessions.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Patients are selected and justified in the nuclear medicine center of the Persian Gulf hospital at Bushehr. The consent form is obtained and finally, the treatment will be performed with intravenous injection of 177Lu-Trastuzumab. After injection, patients will be undergone a whole-body scan for the assessment of radiotracer distribution. Six to eight weeks after the 177Lu-Trastuzumab therapy, the patients will be visited by oncologists and nuclear medicine physicians and if there was not any toxicity, the next treatment session will be performed
