About this trial

Single center, prospective, diagnostic study. Patients with stage II-IIIB resectable NSCLC diagnosed by pathology were included. After receiving standard neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy/immunotherapy/combination therapy), FAPI-PET/CT and fluorescence imaging were performed one week before surgery. During the surgery, a near-infrared fluorescence navigation system was used to locate the tumor lesion. After surgery, the tumor bed range was determined by pathological gold standards (HE staining+immunohistochemistry), and the predictive efficacy and localization accuracy of FAPI-PET/fluorescence were compared and analyzed.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • PET/CT scans

    Diagnostic test

    PET Dynamic Data: The tracer is administered based on the patient's body weight at approximately 0.06-0.12 mCi/kg. PET scanning is initiated simultaneously with tracer injection, followed by a flush with 10 ml of normal saline. The image acquisition matrix is 192 × 192. Reconstruction is performed using the OSEM algorithm with 4 iterations and 20 subsets, incorporating time-of-flight attenuation correction, scatter correction, and random correction. The total duration of PET dynamic data acquisition is 60 minutes. Processing of PET dynamic scan data: Dynamic PET images are divided into 2-minute intervals to obtain time-activity curves by extracting the radioactivity within regions of interest at different time points, reflecting tracer uptake and enabling calculation of the time to peak. Multi-modality imaging data are analyzed by radiologists with over 10 years of experience in diagnosing respiratory diseases.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Accuracy of EB-FAPI fluorescence imaging for tumor bed delineation after neoadjuvant therapy

To evaluate the accuracy of intraoperative FAP-targeted fluorescence imaging in identifying the tumor bed after neoadjuvant therapy in NSCLC patients, using histopathological assessment as the reference standard. Tumor bed regions identified by fluorescence will be compared with pathological mapping of tumor, regression bed, and residual tumor distribution.

Time frame
From surgery to completion of postoperative pathological evaluation (within 2 weeks after surgery)
2

Diagnostic performance of preoperative FAPI PET for treatment response assessment

To evaluate the ability of preoperative FAPI PET imaging to predict pathological response after neoadjuvant therapy, using pathological response (pCR/MPR/non-MPR) as the reference standard.

Time frame
From preoperative imaging to postoperative pathological assessment (within 4 weeks)

Secondary outcomes

1

Correlation between fluorescence signal intensity and pathological features

To evaluate the correlation between fluorescence signal intensity and pathological parameters, including tumor cell density, regression bed, and FAP expression (e.g., immunohistochemistry), across tumor (T), margin (M), and normal (N) regions.

Time frame
Postoperative specimen analysis (within 2-3 weeks after surgery)
2

Tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) of fluorescence imaging in surgical specimens

To quantify fluorescence signal contrast between tumor, tumor margin, and normal tissues, and determine optimal thresholds for tumor bed delineation.

Time frame
Postoperative specimen analysis (within 2-3 weeks after surgery)
