What this phase means
Phase 4: the treatment is already approved. This study asks new questions — longer-term effects, other diseases, or how it compares in everyday care.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are 18Fluoroestradiol (18F-FES), MRI, or Gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA). The registry lists allocation as na. The investigators hope to learn if lobular breast cancer can be identified using a special procedure called a positron emission tomography (PET) magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan, collectively a PET/MRI scan, that uses a radioactive imaging agent called Fluorine 18 fluoroestradiol (18F-FES).
They plan to enroll about 30 people at Madison. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill), using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
