Fluorine-18-AlphaVBeta6-Binding Peptide Positron Emission Tomography in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

February 23, 2026 updated by: Julie L. Sutcliffe, Ph.D, University of California, Davis

Fluorine-18-AlphaVBeta6-Binding Peptide Positron Emission Tomography for Staging, Response Assessment, and Patient Selection in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

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.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

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.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
[18F]-αvβ6-BP PET/CT imaging compared to immunohistochemistry
Time Frame: Up to six months
Standard uptake value (SUV) values from [18F]-αvβ6-BP PET/CT will be compared to immunohistochemistry (IHC) αvβ6 staining of archival tissue to assess the sensitivity of [18F]-αvβ6-BP PET/CT to detect αvβ6 positive metastasis in NSCLC
Up to six months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
