New scan could spot lung cancer in the brain more clearly
NCT ID NCT05452005
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study is testing a new radioactive tracer for PET scans that may better detect non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. About 20 adults with this type of lung cancer and brain metastases will receive the tracer and undergo imaging. The goal is to see if this scan is more sensitive than current methods for finding cancer in the brain, which could help guide treatment decisions.
