Non Small Cell Lung Cancer | Drug: [18F]F AraG | Phase 2 |
Approximately 50 patients will undergo two research PET/CT scans with [18F]F AraG at two time points. Each patient will receive two 5 (+/-10%) mCi doses of [18F]F AraG, one for each imaging time point. Eligible subjects will undergo a pre-treatment [18F]F AraG PET/CT scan within 7 days prior to treatment, followed by treatment, and an on-treatment [18F]F AraG PET/CT within 7-14 days of treatment.
Objectives:
- Quantify [18F]F-AraG uptake in advanced NSCLC tumor (primary, nodal, and metastatic sites) at baseline and after 1 dose of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in patients treated with standard of care immunotherapy (as monotherapy or part of combination therapy).
- Correlate change in [18F]F AraG uptake in tumor lesions with radiographic response.

- Drug: [18F]F AraG
PET imaging agent specific to activated T cells
- [18F]F-AraG uptake signal [ Time Frame: two years ][18F]F-AraG uptake signal will be measured quantitatively by SUV-bw of the tumor volumes of interest before and after undergoing treatment
