Study Summary

Explore the association between intensity of 11C-methyl-L-tryptophan (C11-AMT) positron emission tomography (PET) at baseline, as measured by mean standardized uptake value (SUVmax) at each lesion, total tumor metabolic volume, measurement of intra-tumoral and inter-lesional heterogeneity, with objective response rate (ORR) at 12 weeks (as defined via RECIST 1.1) to pembrolizumab in patients with treatment-naïve metastatic melanoma.

Primary Outcome

Association between intensity of C11-AMT PET at baseline, as measured by maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) and objective response (OR) using computerized tomography images with intravenous contrast, as defined via RECIST v.1.1, at 12 weeks. Subject is considered responder if subject has CR or PR while subject is considered not-responder if they do not have CR or PR at 12 weeks. RECIST v.1.1: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% dec
