Can a simple scan predict if cancer drugs will work?

NCT ID NCT03832348

Summary

This study aimed to see if early PET scans could predict how well a standard immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) would work for advanced lung cancer. Researchers followed 40 patients with advanced lung cancer who were already scheduled to receive this treatment. They performed PET scans before the first three treatments to see if early changes in the scans could forecast the patient's response three months later.
