Brief Summary

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

\[18F\]F-AraG is a promising tracer to image activated T-cells with positron emission tomography (PET). The aim of the ATTAIN trial is to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of this novel tracer by performing a full kinetic modelling, assess test-retest (TRT) variability and to correlate the tumor tracer uptake with the pathological assessment.

Detailed Description

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

The efficacy of immunotherapy and patient selection for combinatorial immunotherapy strategies would greatly improve if the tumor microenvironment (TME) could be characterized more accurately. Positron emission tomography (PET) using tracers that target immune cell subsets may provide a non-invasive means to immune profile the TME. Imaging T-cells can help in identifying 'hot' tumors, or parts of the tumor mass that have high concentrations of tumor infiltrating T-cells and also provide information on its activation.

A promising tracer to image activated T-cells is \[18F\]F-AraG. Based on the hypothesis that \[18F\]F-AraG will accumulate in activated T-cells, it is expected that \[18F\]F-AraG and PET will enable to (reproducibly) identify tumors and tumor areas with high concentrations of tumor infiltrating activated T-cells on pathological assessment. In the ATTAIN trial this \[18F\]F-AraG uptake in tumor lesions and healthy organs is explored by full kinetic modelling.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Histologically confirmed NSCLC, a histological biopsy is mandatory.
2. Patients that are resectable upfront as per multidisciplinary tumor board evaluation.
3. Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial.
4. Be above 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
5. Have a performance status of 0-1 on the ECOG Performance Scale at screening.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subjects with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of screening. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid \>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.
2. Psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.
3. Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the screening visit through 12 weeks after the last \[18F\]F-AraG PET scan.
