Interstitial Lung Disease study: [68Ga]CBP8 vs Gadoterate Meglumine
Official title Advanced Imaging to Assess the Effect of Immunosuppression on Progressive Fibrosis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07572383
What this study is testing
What is [68Ga]CBP8?
An investigational radiotracer being studied for imaging collagen deposition in interstitial lung disease.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study aims to see if immunosuppression changes the amount of new collagen (scar tissue) in the lungs, measured by a special PET scan, and to assess tissue injury using MRI.
- Who it's for
- Adults diagnosed with non‑idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis interstitial lung disease.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive immunosuppressive medication and will have PET scans and dynamic contrast‑enhanced MRI scans to measure collagen deposition and tissue injury.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
