Predicting treatment response with PET scans in advanced lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special PET scan can predict how well a first-line combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy works in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if the scan can help personalize treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have advanced non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery or treated with radiation, or has spread to other parts of the body.
- You have not yet received any treatment for this cancer.
- You are eligible to receive a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy (a type of treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer) as your first treatment.
- You can have a special PET scan (called LAFOV FDG-PET) within 21 days before starting treatment.

This study uses a special type of PET scan to look at specific cells in non-small cell lung cancer tumors that might help doctors understand how well immunotherapy treatments are working. If you are about to start immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer, you may be able to join.
This study tests if a new type of PET scan can see changes in your immune system when you receive immunotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors understand how well your treatment is working.
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-grazytracer) to see if it can predict early whether immunotherapy is working in people with lung cancer that can be surgically removed. If successful, this scan could help doctors tailor treatment sooner.
This study tests a new PET imaging agent to see how consistently it shows immune activity in the body. It is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are about to start immunotherapy.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer to find lung tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can better detect cancer cells, which may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
This trial uses a special imaging test (PET/NIR) to find lung cancer cells. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly before and after treatment.
