Brief summary

This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET) imaging utilizing 18F-(2S,4R)4-fluoroglutamine, a glutamic acid derivative, to image patients with Newly Diagnosed Lung Cancer or Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules. \[18F\]Fluoroglutamine PET may provide additional information that help diagnose lung cancer.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Diagnosing and Staging ability of 4-[18F]Fluoroglutamine PET/CT in lung cancerup to three yearsSensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy of 4-\[18F\]Fluoroglutamine and 18F-FDG PET/CT will be compared using paired t-test or Krusal-Wallis test.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Eventsup to 30 days after the F-Gln imagingThe evaluation of the Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events starts from the day of F-Gln examination until 30 days later; Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events are evaluated according to version 4.03 CTC-AE criteria.
ASCT2 expression levels in tissue samplesup to three yearsWilcoxon rank-sum or Kruskal-Wallis tests will be applied for the group comparisons of IHC staining(ASCT2)
