Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a PET scan using a tracer called [18F]F-AraG can help identify sites of Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) in patients who are likely to have the disease or are at high risk of developing it.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 suspected of having acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) needing treatment, or at high risk for GVHD after certain stem cell transplants. Healthy volunteers must have no medical issues affecting the scan results. Pregnant/nursing individuals, those with substance abuse, uncontrolled infections, relapsed malignancy, or current immunotherapy are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
[18F]F-AraG PET scans are being tested to detect and predict acute GVHD by imaging T cell accumulation in patients. The study will compare scan results with biopsy findings in patients suspected of having GVHD and monitor high-risk patients to assess predictive value.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As [18F]F-AraG is used for imaging purposes in this trial, side effects may include discomfort from the injection site or allergic reactions to the tracer. However, specific side effects related to [18F]F-AraG are not detailed here.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Highly suspected to already have aGVHDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients highly suspected to have aGVHD. These patients will undergo a [18F]F-AraG PET-CT scan following a biopsy taken to confirm aGVHD.
Group II: High risk of developing aGVHDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients at high risk of developing aGVHD will undergo a [18F]F-AraG PET-CT scan on day 4 +/- 2 days post transplant. Additionally these patients will be scanned again between day 14-21 post transplant.
Group III: Healthy SubjectsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Healthy subject volunteers will undergo preliminary evaluation to ensure eligibility, receive and sign an informed consent, be enrolled in the trial, and then have a [18F]F-AraG PET-CT scan.
