An Imaging Agent ([18F]- AlphaVBeta6-Binding Protein) with Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography for Evaluating Stage and Treatment Response in Patients Receiving Standard of Care Treatment for Metastatic Non-small Lung Cancer

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial seeks to evaluate an imaging agent, fluorine F 18 alphaVbeta6-binding peptide ([18F]- alphavbeta6-BP), with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for staging and response assessment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). [18F]-alphavbeta6-BP is a radiotracer, which attaches to cancer cells and shines a light that can be seen using a special camera, called a PET scanner. A PET scanner is a camera that takes pictures of the body as it moves through the scanner. The pictures show where the radiotracer is in the body. Using [18F]- alphavbeta6-BP with PET/CT may help doctors diagnose the stage of disease and assess response to treatment in patients receiving standard of care treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
