Summary

This trial is looking at how well a new imaging agent called 68-GaFAPi works in people with interstitial lung disease. The study will follow 30 patients and look at where and how much the agent accumulates in normal and diseased lung tissue.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with interstitial lung disease (ILD), confirmed by a CT scan within the last 3 months. Participants must be starting new ILD medication soon or scheduled for lung biopsy or surgery. Pregnant or nursing individuals, those with active infectious lung disease, and anyone unable to follow the study plan are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests how a tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46 distributes in normal versus fibrotic lung tissues in ILD patients. Each participant will receive an injection of this tracer followed by one PET/CT scan and one high-resolution CT of their lungs to track the tracer's accumulation.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the FAPI PET scan may include discomfort at the injection site, allergic reactions to the tracer, and exposure to radiation from both scans which carries a small risk of cancer.
