What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new PET imaging tracer called [18F]F-AraG to see if it can spot activated T-cells inside non-small cell lung cancer tumors. Researchers will scan about 10 patients with resectable lung cancer, then compare the tracer's uptake with lab analysis of the removed tumor tissue. The goal is to understand how well this tracer works for imaging immune activity, which could eventually help tailor treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A PET scan using the experimental tracer [18F]F-AraG to visualize activated T-cells in tumors.
What this could lead to
If successful, this imaging method could help doctors see how active the immune system is inside tumors, potentially guiding immunotherapy decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small early imaging study, so the tracer may not reliably reflect T-cell activity, and results may not translate to routine clinical use.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 10 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Dec 2021

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically confirmed NSCLC, a histological biopsy is mandatory. 2. Patients that are resectable upfront as per multidisciplinary tumor board evaluation. 3. Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial. 4. Be above 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent. 5. Have a performance status of 0-1 on the ECOG Performance Scale at screening. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of screening. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid \>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease. 2. Psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial. 3. Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the screening visit through 12 weeks after the last \[18F\]F-AraG PET scan.
