Evaluating T Cell Changes in Lung Cancer with PET Imaging
Official title: Assessment of PET Tracers to Evaluate T Cell Change and Activation in Relation to Immunotherapy Treatment Response in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc · NCT06457789 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing two new imaging methods to see how T cells change in people with non-small cell lung cancer after they receive chemo-immunotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 with histologically confirmed NSCLC who are scheduled for surgical resection after receiving chemo-immunotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are deemed inoperable or have received recent vaccinations or systemic immunosuppressive treatments may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial assesses the effectiveness of two novel PET tracers in evaluating T cell changes and activation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following chemo-immunotherapy. Participants will undergo two PET scans before their scheduled surgery, allowing researchers to compare the imaging results of the tracers against the pathological analysis of the resected tumor. The goal is to enhance understanding of how these imaging biomarkers can provide insights into treatment responses.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved monitoring of treatment responses in NSCLC patients, potentially guiding more effective immunotherapy strategies.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of PET imaging in cancer treatment monitoring is established, the specific application of these novel tracers in NSCLC is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
