Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase II trial studies how well 18F-FSPG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) work in diagnosing early lung cancer in patients with indeterminate lung nodules. PET imaging with an imaging agent called 18F-FDG is often used in combination with a PET/CT scanner to evaluate cancers. Giving 18F-FSPG before a PET/CT scan may work better in helping researchers diagnose early lung cancer in patients with lung nodules.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Comparison of fluorine F 18 L-glutamate derivative BAY94-9392 (18F-FSPG) accumulation with fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) accumulation to assess whether (4S)-4-(3-18F-Fluoropropyl)-L-Glutamate (18F-FSPG)-PET is better at discriminating between benign and malignant nodules.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To develop and validate early lung cancer detection biomarkers that would directly impact the growing need to integrate imaging and non-invasive molecular diagnostics for indeterminate pulmonary nodules and allow physicians to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures in patients with benign lung disease.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive 18F-FSPG intravenously (IV) and, undergo a PET/CT scan over 30-60 minutes. Within 24 hours-14 days, patients receive 18F-FDG and undergo a second PET/CT scan over 30-60 minutes.

After completion of study, patients are followed up within 24-72 hours.
