Summary

This early-phase study is testing a special PET imaging agent called [89Zr]Zr-DFO-emapalumab to see if it can detect non-small cell lung cancer lesions and show how well the cancer responds to immunotherapy. Six adults with newly diagnosed lung cancer will receive the imaging agent and undergo PET scans before and about 30 days after starting immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach can help doctors better monitor treatment effects.
