PET Imaging of Lung Cancer and Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules With 18F-FSPG
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Computed Tomography, fluorodeoxyglucose F-18, and 4 other interventions for Lung Carcinoma and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This clinical trial compares fluorine F 18 L-glutamate derivative BAY94-9392 (18F-FSPG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) to the standard of care fluorodeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) PET/CT in imaging patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer or indeterminate pulmonary nodules. PET/CT uses a radioactive glutamate (one of the common building blocks of protein) called 18F-FSPG which may be able to recognize differences between tumor and healthy tissue. Since tumor cells are growing, they need to make protein, and other building blocks, for cell growth that are made from glutamate and other molecules. PET/CT using a radioactive glutamate may be a more effective method of diagnosing lung cancer than the standard PET/CT using a radioactive glucose (sugar), such as 18F-FDG.
