Study Summary

Despite broad advancements in endocrine therapy for ERα+ breast cancer, resistance ultimately develops. A common driver of resistance are known ESR1 mutations that lead to constitutively active receptor signaling and transcriptional regulation that is always "turned on" despite the absence of estrogen. Patients with ESR1 mutations are expected to have decreased binding affinity for tamoxifen and thus may be underdosed on standard therapy. \[18F\]-fluoroestradiol Positron Emission Tomography/Computed tomography (FES-PET/CT) imaging is a novel functional imaging technique that can non-invasively measure ERα expression and inhibition in metastatic ERα+ breast cancer. The proposed a pilot study uses FES-PET/CT imaging to measure ERα blockade to determine the optimal dose of tamoxifen in patients with ESR1 mutations.

Primary Outcome

Reduction in FES uptake will be described and analyzed by Fisher's exact test. Rates or proportion of responses at each dose level will be provided in data listings. If the SUVmax for all 5 target lesions have decreased by \> 75% or all 5 lesions have SUVmax\<1.5 on the second scan, then these participants will be prospectively defined as having complete FES blockade. If the SUVmax for any of the 5 lesions has not decreased by \> 75% or if any new lesions arise with SUVmax ≥1.5, then these subje
