About this study

Official title: T-Cell PET Imaging With [18F]F-AraG and Radiomics to Guide Combined Radiation and Systemic Immune Modulating Therapies

This is a single-center cross-sectional imaging study in patients with localized lung cancer undergoing immunotherapy with or without stereotactic radiation therapy as part of the companion clinical trial (NCT03217071; Pembrolizumab With and Without Radiotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer). Each patient will undergo a single [18F]F-AraG PET exam as part of this study. [18F]F-AraG will be administered at a single time point intravenously prior to PET imaging. Whole-body PET will be acquired along with a whole body low dose CT (PET/CT) used for attenuation correction and anatomic localization of [18F]F-AraG uptake, SUV calculation, and volumetric selection for radiomic analyses.

This is a single-center cross-sectional imaging study in patients with localized lung cancer undergoing immunotherapy with or without stereotactic radiation therapy as part of the companion clinical trial (NCT03217071; Pembrolizumab With and Without Radiotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer). Each patient will undergo a single [18F]F-AraG PET exam as part of this study. [18F]F-AraG will be administered at a single time point intravenously prior to PET imaging. Whole-body PET will be acquired along with a whole body low dose CT (PET/CT) used for attenuation correction and anatomic localization of [18F]F-AraG uptake, SUV calculation, and volumetric selection for radiomic analyses.

A total of 20 patients will be enrolled over an accrual period of approximately 12 months. Approximately 10 patients will be enrolled in the immunotherapy alone cohort and approximately 10 patients will be enrolled in the immunotherapy and stereotactic radiation therapy cohort.

Patients will be evaluated one day and one week via telephone after each radiopharmaceutical injection for safety follow-up. All adverse events will be recorded. Due to the noninvasive and non-therapeutic nature of the study, potential risks of the study are anticipated to be low.

  • PembrolizumabDrug

    Also called Keytruda

    All study participants will receive pembrolizumab every 3 weeks, for 2 cycles.

  • PET/CT scanRadiation

    Scan will be done after two cycles of immunotherapy +/- stereotactic radiation therapy.

Study groups in NCT03311672
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort 1 - Immunotherapy AloneExperimentalApproximately 10 patients will be enrolled in the immunotherapy alone cohort under a larger two-year industry-funded, investigator-initiated single-institution, phase II, open-label clinical trial (NCT03217071; Pembrolizumab With and Without Radiotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) in which patients with stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are randomized to receive two cycles of systemic immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor) with or without immune-priming stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT, 12 Gy) to the lateral half of the primary lung tumor prior to resection.
Receives: Drug: [18F]F-Ara-G; Drug: Pembrolizumab; Radiation: PET/CT scan
Cohort 2 - Immunotherapy with Stereotactic RadiationExperimentalApproximately 10 patients will be enrolled in the immunotherapy with stereotactic radiation therapy cohort under a larger two-year industry-funded, investigator-initiated single-institution, phase II, open-label clinical trial (NCT03217071; Pembrolizumab With and Without Radiotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) in which patients with stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are randomized to receive two cycles of systemic immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor) with or without immune-priming stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT, 12 Gy) to the lateral half of the primary lung tumor prior to resection.
Receives: Drug: [18F]F-Ara-G; Drug: Pembrolizumab; Radiation: PET/CT scan

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The correlation between number of infiltrating CD3+ T cells/μm2 in the non-small cell lunger cancer thoracotomy specimen as quantified by immunohistochemistry and the activated T-cell concentration as determined by [18F]F-AraG PET (SUVmax)

    The correlation between number of infiltrating CD3+ T cells/μm2 in the non-small cell lunger cancer thoracotomy specimen as quantified by immunohistochemistry and the activated T-cell concentration as determined by [18F]F-AraG PET (SUVmax)

    Measured: Baseline (after two cycles of pembrolizumab)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The detection of out-of-target radiation-mediated immune modulation in lymph nodes using [18F]F-AraG PET

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing [18F]F-Ara-G, Pembrolizumab and PET/CT scan in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of California, San Francisco.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The correlation between number of infiltrating CD3+ T cells/μm2 in the non-small cell lunger cancer thoracotomy specimen as quantified by immunohistochemistry and the activated T-cell concentration as determined by [18F]F-AraG PET (SUVmax) (time frame: Baseline (after two cycles of pembrolizumab)). 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 21 Oct 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
