What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the use of \[89Zr\]Zr-DFO-emapalumab as an IFN-γ PET imaging agent to detect lesions and response to therapy among treatment-naïve non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. PET scans following the imaging agent will be completed prior to and about 30 days after starting immunotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Prior histologic or cytologic diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer.
- FDG PET done within 2 months of the baseline imaging, as part of standard-of-care.
- Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 with at least one lesion of at least 2 cm in a region of the body that can be imaged by PET (e.g., outside of the liver).
- Ability to lie still for the tests and suitable girth and weight to enter the scanner gantry.
- Age over 18 years.
- Signed informed consent acknowledging the investigational nature of the study.
- Physical exam, CBC, and multiphasic blood tests (including electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, total bilirubin, AST, and ALT) done within 28 days prior to PET imaging.
You will not qualify if you...
- No prior immunotherapy for current stage of NSCLC; prior immunotherapy in neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting is allowed if recurrence is at least 12 months after completion and approved by the principal investigator.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
