About this study

Official title: A Study of PET Imaging of T-cell Activation With [18F]F-AraG in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients Undergoing PD-1/PD-L1-directed Therapy

This is a prospective, single center, single-arm clinical trial in 20 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing PD-1/PD-L1-directed therapy. This research is being done to find out if the radioactive compound called [18F]F-AraG is a helpful imaging agent for detecting changes in cancer's anti-tumor immune response (or activation of T-cell) levels for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who will receive a cancer immunotherapy regimen (immunotherapy works by encouraging the body's own immune system to attack the cancer cells).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to find out how the radiotracer called [18F]F-AraG can help investigate changes in cancer's anti-tumor immune response (or activation of T-cell) levels during positron emission tomography (PET) scans. [18F]F-AraG has the potential to serve as a noninvasive imaging biomarker in the monitoring of T-cell mediated anti-tumor immune response following administration of an immunotherapeutic agent.

Participants in this study will have tests, exams and procedures that are for study purposes. Participants will be in this study up to one month which will include about three clinic visits.

A baseline [18F]F-AraG PET-CT will be obtained 0-7 days before a NSCLC patient receives PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. A second [18F]F-AraG PET-CT will be performed 10-14 days after PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy is administered.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • [18F]F-AraG InjectionDrug

    Single dose of 5 mCi+/- [18F]F-AraG IV injection followed by the PET/CT scan. A baseline [18F]F-AraG PET/CT will be performed at about 0-7 days before patient receives the first dose of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. A second [18F]F-AraG PET-CT will be performed at less than 14 days after the first dose of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy is administered and before the second dose of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy is given.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change in uptake of [18F]F-AraG before and after one dose of anti-PD-L1

    Percent Change in standard uptake value (SUV) of [18F]F-AraG PET-CT imaging of primary tumor and of lymph nodes at baseline to after the first dose of neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: Baseline and 10-14 days after first dose of neoadjuvant therapy

  2. Percent pathologic response at the time of surgery

    100% minus the percentage of viable tumor remaining in the tumor bed.

    Measured: At the time of surgery

  3. Correlation between [18F]F-AraG uptake and percent pathologic response as assessed by the Spearman correlation coefficient

    Spearman correlation coefficient will be calculated in assessing the correlation between [18F]F-AraG uptake and pathologic response.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing [18F]F-AraG Injection in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 17 Jan 2024. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 stopped early (reason given: The study is terminated because the PI left the institution.). 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?

Percent Change in uptake of [18F]F-AraG before and after one dose of anti-PD-L1 (time frame: Baseline and 10-14 days after first dose of neoadjuvant therapy). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Jan 2024.
