About this study

Official title: Imaging of T-Cell Activation With [18F]-AraG in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients Undergoing PD-1/PD-L1-Directed Therapy

This trial studies how well [18F]-AraG works in detecting T-cell activation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced), who are undergoing PD-1/PD-L1-directed therapy. [18F]-AraG is a "radiotracer" which attaches to immune cells directed at the cancer and shines a light that can be seen using a special camera, called a "positron emission tomography" or "PET" scanner. [18F]-AraG may improve the ability to detect a response of the cancer in the body to immunotherapy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To quantify fluorine F 18 Ara-G ([18F]-AraG) uptake (standardized uptake value [SUV]) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumor (primary, nodal, and metastatic sites) at baseline and after 1 dose of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in both patients treated with PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy and in patients treated with immunotherapy/chemotherapy combination therapy.

II. To correlate change in [18F]-AraG uptake before and after the start of therapy with radiographic response in patients treated with immunotherapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive [18F]-AraG intravenously (IV) and then undergo PET/CT over 2 hours at baseline and within 2 weeks after starting immunotherapy. Patients may also undergo blood sample collection.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for up to 12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Fluorine F 18 Ara-G ([18F]-AraG) uptake values in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) before and after treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy obtained

    The positron emission tomography (PET) images will be interpreted qualitatively and semi-quantitatively on a lesion-by-lesion basis. Semi-quantitative analysis will be employed as follows: (a) Regions of interest (ROIs) will be placed around tracer avid foci suspicious for malignancy in order to obtain standardized uptake value (SUV) parameters, including maximum SUV (SUVmax), SUVpeak, SUVmean; (b) SUV data will be recorded along with volumetric and positional information in a standardized form.

    Measured: Baseline up to within 2 weeks after starting immunotherapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean change in SUV

    All SUV measurements will be summarized descriptively, separately for baseline and follow-up. Descriptive statistics for the SUVs will be done on a subject basis and a per lesion basis. Graphical summaries including box plots will be prepared to illustrate distributions and detect outliers or other findings; numerical summaries will include, mean, standard deviation (SD), median, and range as appropriate. For each target lesion, the scan 1 and scan 2 SUV will be determined and compared. A mixed-model repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used to estimate the mean change in SUV from scan 1 to scan 2, allowing for possible need to account for between-patient random variation both in baseline level of SUV and amount of change. The primary result will be an estimate of the mean change in SUV, with a 95% confidence interval, along with the between patient and within-patient, between-lesion variation.

    Measured: Baseline up to within 2 weeks after starting immunotherapy

  2. Correlation between [18F]-AraG uptake and clinical response

    Measured: Baseline up to within 2 weeks after starting immunotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Fluorine F 18 Ara-G in people with Advanced Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma and Metastatic Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, run by University of California, Davis.

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 6 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 1 Feb 2022. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Fluorine F 18 Ara-G ([18F]-AraG) uptake values in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) before and after treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy obtained (time frame: Baseline up to within 2 weeks after starting immunotherapy). 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 1 Feb 2022.
