Special PET scan to monitor immunotherapy for lung cancer or melanoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan (called 18F-grazy-02) to look at a protein in your body that may show how well your immune system is fighting the cancer. It is for people with non-small cell lung cancer or melanoma to help their doctors monitor the effects of immunotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 trial tests a special PET scan that tracks immune activity to see if it can help monitor how well immunotherapy is working in people with various cancers. It is for patients about to start immunotherapy for the first time.
This trial uses a special scan (68Ga-grazytracer PET) to see how well immunotherapy works for stage III non-small cell lung cancer before surgery or radiation. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-grazytracer) to find out whether growth seen on scans after immunotherapy is real cancer growth or a harmless reaction called pseudoprogression. It helps doctors decide if your treatment is working.
