Total-body PET/CT Imaging Using the uEXPLORER in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated by Induction Chemotherapy Plus Nivolumab and Definitive Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

The prospective study aims to explore the value of total-body PET/CT dynamic imaging (uExplorer) in assessing tumor metabolic heterogeneity and predicting prognosis for patients with locally advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (stage III) treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus nivolumab and definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapy.

Treatment and study plan

Total body PET/CT (uExplorer)

Device

A total-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner (uEXPLORER) with a 192-cm scan range was applied for cancer diagnosis, organ function assessment and treatment outcome prediction. The total-body PET scanner can acquire scans with lower administered activity or short acquisition time, total-body dynamic acquisition at a longer delayed time point, and high detectability of exiguous changes of the whole body, and tumor as well.

Primary outcomes

  1. Patlak-Ki (Ki)

    Time frame: From enrollment to 1 year after radiotherapy

    The prognostic role of Patlak-Ki and its dynamic change during treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. standardized uptake value (SUV)

    Time frame: From enrollment to 1 year after radiotherapy

    The prognostic role of SUV and its dynamic change during treatment

  2. metabolic tumor volume (MTV)

    Time frame: From enrollment to 1 year after radiotherapy

    The prognostic role of MTV and its dynamic change during treatment

  3. total lesion glycolysis (TLG)

    Time frame: From enrollment to 1 year after radiotherapy

    The prognostic role of TLG and its dynamic change during treatment
