Advanced Imaging for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine if measurements of active collagen deposition using [68Ga]CBP8 positron emission tomography (PET) and tissue injury using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) can predict an individual patient's pace of disease progression in non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis interstitial lung disease (non-IPF ILD) and identify which individuals will develop progressive pulmonary fibrosis.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 18-80 with a diagnosis of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, connective tissue-associated ILD (due to rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, mixed connective tissue disease), or undifferentiated ILD. 2.

Pulmonary fibrosis, defined as honeycombing, traction bronchiectasis, or reticular opacities on HRCT performed within 1 year to or at Visit 1. 4. FVC of >/= 45% and DLCO >/= 25% predicted on PFTs performed at Visit 1.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Current or prior exposure to FDA approved anti-fibrotic therapy. 2. Extent of emphysema greater than extent of fibrosis. 3. Pregnancy or plans to become pregnant at baseline or during follow-up. 4. Contraindications to MRI. 5. Contraindications to receiving gadolinium-based contrast agents. 6. Research-related radiation exposure exceeds 50 mSv in the prior year. 7. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min (only for individuals with a history of chronic kidney disease). 8. Clinically significant PH defined by use of pulmonary vasodilatory therapy. 9. Respiratory infection within the prior 6 weeks. 10. Smoking of any kind within the prior 6 months.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06532071
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Pulmonary Fibrosis
Additional Details

60 participants with non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis interstitial lung disease (non-IPF ILD) on stable dose immunosuppression treatment will be enrolled. Participants will undergo combined [68Ga]CBP8 positron emission tomography (PET) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) at baseline. The investigators will compare the ability of PET and MRI measurements performed over the whole lung and within regions of interest to identify participants who subsequently develop progressive pulmonary fibrosis as determined by changes in pulmonary function testing, quantitative fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography, and respiratory symptoms over 24 months. The investigators will also test whether combining the PET and MRI measurements results in more accurate prediction of progression than either modality alone.
