First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This early-phase study is testing a new radioactive imaging agent called [18F]-αvβ6-BP to see if it can better detect and monitor 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 a PET/CT scan using the new agent. The goal is to compare the new scan with standard imaging methods to improve how doctors stage the disease and choose treatments.
