New PET tracer may spot lung cancer tumors
NCT ID NCT04017819
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study is testing a radioactive imaging agent called [18F]-C-SNAT4 to see how it travels through the body and whether it can help detect lung cancer on PET scans. About 20 healthy volunteers and people with lung cancer will receive the tracer and undergo scans. The goal is to measure safety, radiation exposure, and whether the tracer highlights tumors differently than normal tissue.

Inclusion Criteria: * ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109/L without myeloid growth factor support for 7 days preceding lab assessment * Hgb ≥ 9 g/dL (90 g/L); \< 9 g/dL (\< 90 g/L) is acceptable if Hgb corrected to ≥ 9 g/dL (90 g/L) as by growth factor or transfusion prior to PET scan * Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L w/o blood transfusions for 7 days preceding lab assessment * Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) except for pts with documented history of Gilbert's disease * ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN * AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN * Alkaline phosphatase (AP) ≤ 3 x ULN * If a women of childbearing potential (WCBP): negative early pregnancy test (EPT) * Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 60 * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document Exclusion Criteria: * Has already begun non-surgical therapy for any recurrence, prior to the first \[18F\]-C-SNAT4 PET/CT scan * Severe/uncontrolled inter-current illness within the previous 28 days prior to PET scan. * Any other significant co-morbid conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator would impair study participation or cooperation. * History of allergic reactions to IV contrasts or reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to \[18F\]-C-SNAT4 used in study. * Pregnant or nursing * Patients who exceed the safe weight limit of the PET/CT bed (204.5 kg) or who cannot fit through the PET/CT bore (diameter 70 cm).
