Study Summary

This trial is testing a new imaging probe to see if it is safe to use in order to scan for a certain protein.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 who either never smoked or are current smokers with a significant smoking history. They must be able to lie still for scans, have no illicit drug use in the past year, and normal lung function tests. Excluded are those with certain diseases, pregnant women, prescription medication users, and individuals with incompatible implanted devices.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing Cu-DOTA-ECL1i as a PET imaging radiotracer to see how well it can show the distribution of inflammatory cells in patients' lungs with fibrotic diseases. It includes multiple sub-studies focusing on scan reproducibility and correlation between scan results and actual cell distribution.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified but may include reactions related to lying still during scans such as discomfort or anxiety (for those with claustrophobia), plus any risks associated with exposure to radiotracers like allergic reactions or radiation exposure.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Change of Cu-DOTA-ECL1i as measured by Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of lung Standard uptake value (SUV) and Distribution Volume Ratio (DVR) over two months
Change of uptake of Cu-DOTA-ECL1i to lung fibrosis
