PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:~The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of [18F]-αvβ6-BP PET/CT for detecting metastases in patients with NSCLC.~OUTLINE:~Patients will undergo [18F]-αvβ6-BP PET/CT at baseline in addition to standard-of-care [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) PET/CT body and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Patients will then undergo standard-of-care cancer directed therapy. Patients will be re-staged 8-12 weeks later at the next standard-of-care imaging time point with [18F]-αvβ6-BP PET/CT, [18F]-FDG PET/CT, and MRI.
This study investigates fluorine-18-AlphaVBeta6-BP ([18F]-αvβ6-BP) as a Positron Emission (PET) imaging agent in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases. Investigators hypothesize that [18F]-αvβ6-BP PET/Computed Tomography (CT) is a sensitive tool for disease assessment in patients with metastatic NSCLC, including those with brain metastases.
