Study Summary

This trial is testing a new imaging agent, 18F-FSPG, to see if it can help diagnose early lung cancer in patients with lung nodules.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for current or former cigarette smokers who have smoked at least the equivalent of a pack a day for 20 years. They must have lung nodules sized between 7 to 30 mm and are already scheduled for standard PET imaging. Pregnant or nursing individuals, those with past lung cancer, or any cancer diagnosis in the last five years cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if using an imaging agent called 18F-FSPG before a PET/CT scan can better diagnose early lung cancer in patients with lung nodules compared to the standard method that uses an agent known as 18F-FDG.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed, potential side effects may include reactions to the imaging agents such as mild rash, itching, or discomfort at injection site. The PET/CT procedure itself is generally safe but carries minimal risks associated with radiation exposure.
