Sponsor's own description
This mechanistic study will be the first study to assess the efficacy of \[18F\]GE-226 to target HER2 expression in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The study will establish the pharmacokinetics of \[18F\]GE-226 and the optimum time-point for performing static scans in this patient population.
