Trial summary

Evaluation of FDG PET/CT to image immunotherapy response in adult thoracic cancer. Compare pre- and post-treatment primary tumor uptake for FDG-PET/CT and correlate with clinical markers of response. PET/CT tumor metabolic response will also be correlated will to progression-free survival and overall survival. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult men and women of any ethnicity with NSCLC deemed unresectable by CT or PET imaging criteria and planning to start anti-PD1/PDL1 therapy.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients, at least 18 years of age
  • Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer or malignancy pleural mesothelioma with at least one site of disease > 1 cm by at least one type of standard imaging (e.g.
  • CT, chest x-ray, MRI)
  • Recommended to start anti-PD1/PDL1 therapy.
  • Obtaining pre-PD1/PDL1 therapy clinical re-staging [18F]FDG-PET/CT scan at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
  • Participants must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and provide written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines prior to study-specific procedures.
  • Participants must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits and imaging procedures in the opinion of the investigator or treating physician.

Who cannot join

  • Females who are pregnant or breast-feeding at the time of screening will not be eligible for this study. Female participants of child-bearing potential will have a urine pregnancy test at the time of the screening visit.
  • Patients with only a single site of primary non-small cell lung cancer or malignancy pleural mesothelioma who have undergone or are recommended to undergo radiation therapy to that site will not be eligible, the inclusion of patients who may be undergoing radiation therapy to ancillary disease sites may be allowed to enter the study at the discretion of the PI if it is not felt to affect the ability to capture [18F]FDG information for at least one primary site of disease.
  • Patients who have undergone cancer surgery removing a significant portion of active disease, in the opinion of an investigator, within 2 months prior to study enrollment will be excluded.
  • Patients who have received prior immunotherapy.
  • Patients with an active auto-immune disease (ie. Multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis).
  • Inability to tolerate imaging procedures in the opinion of the investigator or treating physician
  • Serious or unstable medical or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the subject's safety or successful participation in the study.
  • Unwilling or unable to provide informed consent

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor Accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of inflammatory changes within the tumor (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Mar 2021.
