Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include NSCLC patients aged 18-75 with confirmed c-Met activation status.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe liver or renal dysfunction or those planning to conceive may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates a novel imaging agent, 18F-TSPF, designed to detect c-Met activation status in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Participants will undergo both 18F-TSPF PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/CT scans to assess the specificity and accuracy of the new radiotracer. The study aims to identify which NSCLC patients may benefit from c-Met targeted therapies based on their c-Met activation status. By comparing results from different patient groups, the study seeks to enhance non-invasive diagnostic capabilities in oncology.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved identification of NSCLC patients who are likely to benefit from targeted c-Met therapies.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using targeted PET imaging is promising, this specific application of 18F-TSPF is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
