The iRelate is a PET imaging trial to compare two upcoming and promising T cell PET tracers. Following chemo-immuno therapy, as part of standard care, NSCLC patients will be recruited to receive two PET scans, shortly before their surgery. Both PET scans will be compared to each other, as well as compared to the pathological analysis of the resected tumor.
This study will provide detailed information on the unique as well as additive capacities of imaging biomarkers derived from the immune cell targeting PET tracers.

To learn if 18F-FAraG PET scans can find tumors in participants with esophageal cancer and predict a participant's response to treatment.

This pilot study uses [18F]F AraG PET imaging to evaluate the immunological response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy (CkIT) in patients with advanced NSCLC tumors. The study's main objectives are to quantify the change in [18F]F AraG PET signal before and while on CkIT therapy and to correlate this change in [18F]F AraG PET signal with radiographic response.
To explore these objectives, eligible subjects will undergo pre- and on - CkIT treatment [18F]F AraG PET/CT scans, and will be followed up for 12 months for assessment of radiographic and clinical outcomes. This study is a single-site, open label, non randomized, single arm pilot trial. Patients and care providers will not be blinded to any part of the study.
