Prognostic Value of Tumor Hypoxia, as Measured by 18F-FMISO Breath Hold PET/CT, in Non-Small-Cell-Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients

April 11, 2025 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
The purpose of this study is to help researchers investigate if a new imaging agent named 18F-FMISO can predict if patients with lung cancer will respond to standard therapy, as well as whether disease will reoccur in the future. The study will also investigate whether a 18F-FDG PET scan in the middle of radiation treatment can predict if lung cancer will respond to standard therapy. Information obtained from this study may help doctors design future studies in which they may target tumor areas that do not respond to therapy or may likely reoccur in the future.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 18F-FMISO PET/CT
All enrolled patients will undergo a baseline 18F-FDG PET scan as part of their standard clinical treatment for NSCLC. Dynamic 18F-FMISO PET scans will be performed on one of the GE PET/CT scanners in 3D mode, at least one day after the baseline 18F-FDG PET scan. The dynamic baseline 18F-FMISO studies may precede the 18F-FDG study if the patient had a CT or PET/CT scan within the last 30 days that would permit the investigators to localize the tumor of interest during the 18F-FMISO study. In a group of 5 patients, the feasibility of simultaneous imaging of 18F-FMISO and 18F-FDG will be assessed. The patient will have an IV line placed for radiotracer injection and for venous blood sampling. All dynamic PET scans will be performed over one PET FOV centered at the lesion position. The 18F-FDG mid-treatment PET/CT scan will be performed over only one bed position.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Difference Between Two Baseline Fluorine-18-labeled Fluoro-misonidazole (18F-FMISO) Scans
Time Frame: 3 days from baseline
The difference between two baseline 18F-FMISO PET scans three days apart to assess the reproducibility.
3 days from baseline
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 3 years
Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
3 years
