This phase I/II trial studies the uptake of [18F]F-ARA-G in tumors and non-cancer tissue using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in healthy subjects and patients with non-small cell lung cancer. [18F]F-ARA-G is a PET-imaging tracer targeted at imaging activated T cells. Dynamic imaging of cancer subjects before and after treatment may provide data to establish the relationship between tumor and normal tissue, as well as the effect of treatment on the relationship.
Additional locations may be listed on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT04678440.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To obtain preliminary data on the baseline whole-body pharmacokinetics of fluorine F 18 Ara-G ([18F]F-AraG) physiologic uptake in various healthy tissues using the uEXPLORER PET/computed tomography (CT) scanner.
II. To obtain preliminary data on the pharmacokinetics of [18F]F-AraG pathologic uptake in tumor lesions relative to uptake in background tissues in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) subjects using the uEXPLORER PET/CT scanner.
III. To recommend an ideal time window post [18F]F-AraG infusion to acquire static whole-body scans using standard PET scanners used in clinical care.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess [18F]F-AraG uptake in NSCLC before and after the first dose of PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.
OUTLINE:
Healthy volunteers and patients receive [18F]F-AraG intravenously (IV) and undergo dynamic PET/CT scan over 60-90 minutes on day 0. Within 7-14 days after the first dose of immunotherapy, patients may undergo a second dynamic [18F]F-AraG PET/CT scan.
After completion of scan, participants are followed at 7 days.
