Assessment of PET Tracers to Evaluate T Cell Change and Activation in Relation to Immunotherapy Treatment Response in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (iRelate)

March 27, 2025 updated by: Idris Bahce, Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc

The iRelate is a PET imaging trial to compare two upcoming and promising T cell PET tracers. Following chemo-immuno therapy, as part of standard care, NSCLC patients will be recruited to receive two PET scans, shortly before their surgery. Both PET scans will be compared to each other, as well as compared to the pathological analysis of the resected tumor.

This study will provide detailed information on the unique as well as additive capacities of imaging biomarkers derived from the immune cell targeting PET tracers.

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

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
To measure the spatial correlation of PET uptake of [18F]F-AraG and [89Zr]Zr-Df-Crefmirlimab in tumors and T-cell rich organs such as lymph nodes prior to resection.
Time Frame: 2 months
The spatial overlap of the regions of uptake for both PET tracers will be assessed using the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) as an established method
2 months
To measure the strength of correlation between the presence of CD8+ cells and T cell activation features in the resected tumor and lymph nodes with preoperative uptake of [89Zr]Zr-Df-Crefmirlimab and [18F]F-AraG, respectively.
Time Frame: 6 months
The Pearson correlation coefficient between each tracer tumor uptake and the T cell features in regions of concordance and discordance.
6 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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To measure the strength of correlation of pathological response (i.e., the residual viable tumor cells percentage) in the resected tumor with preoperative uptake of [89Zr]Zr-Df-Crefmirlimab and [18F]F-AraG.
Time Frame: 6 months
The Pearson correlation coefficient between each tracer tumor uptake and percentage of residual viable tumor cells (VTC) in regions of concordance and discordance and the maximal VTC of the entire tumor. The Pearson correlation coefficient between each tracer uptake and the T cell presence in resected lymph nodes (if present).
6 months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To explore the association of PET uptake of both tracers in tumor and T-cell rich organs such as lymph nodes with: The immune profile of the TME and resected lymph nodes beyond T cells. The immune profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)
Time Frame: 6 months
The Pearson correlation coefficient between PET uptake and immune profile of the TME for tumor and T-cell rich organs. The Pearson correlation coefficient between PET uptake and immune profile of PBMCs for tumor + T-cell rich organs.
6 months
To quantify inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity of PET tracer uptake.
Time Frame: 2 months
Voxel intensities for [18F]F-AraG and [89Zr]Zr-Df-Crefmirlimab PET images will be plotted against each other by means of scatter plots and joint histograms/kernel density plots to illustrate the degree of agreement in spatial distribution of both tracers with the VOIs.
2 months
To assess the relationship of metabolically active areas as assessed by [18F]F-FDG PET with areas of uptake derived from [18F]F-AraG and [89Zr]Zr-Df-Crefmirlimab PET.
Time Frame: 4 months
The spatial overlap of the regions of uptake for the FDG, [18F]F-AraG and [89Zr]Zr-Df-Crefmirlimab PET tracers will be assessed using the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) method.
