Evaluating PET scans for predicting treatment response in lung cancer patients
Official title: Prospective Cohort Study Evaluating 18FDG PET-CT for the Early Prediction of the Efficacy of Immunotherapy Associated or Not With Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Broncho-Pulmonary Carcinoma
Run by Centre Antoine Lacassagne · NCT06833229 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if PET scans can help predict how well lung cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy, with or without chemotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced NSCLC who are eligible for immunotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18 years old or those with contraindications to 18FDG PET-CT examinations will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational pilot study aims to assess the effectiveness of 18FDG PET-CT scans in predicting the early response to immunotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, in patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The study will analyze specific metabolic biomarkers from the PET scans to determine their ability to identify treatment efficacy compared to current standards. Patients enrolled will be those who have been prescribed immunotherapy and meet specific eligibility criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early detection of treatment responses in lung cancer patients, allowing for more personalized and effective treatment plans.
How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have explored the use of PET scans in cancer treatment response, this specific approach focusing on metabolic biomarkers in NSCLC is relatively novel.
