Imaging of Active Granulomas With [18F]FDG and Selected Inflammatory PET Tracers in Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2017-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The goal of the current study is to evaluate the potential of the selected PET tracers to detect sarcoidotic lesions in lungs. The tracers are already in clinical use for the detection of certain inflammatory processes or malignant tumors, and their targets present similarities with molecular mechanisms of sarcoidosis.

• Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
