Summary
This trial will study if a new 68Ga-labeled peptide can help detect early stages of interstitial lung disease.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 40 years old with early signs of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or those without ILD but have a relative with pulmonary fibrosis. Participants should not have used tobacco in the last 6 months, be pregnant, or have certain metal implants and allergies to gadolinium. They must also be able to lie comfortably in an MR-PET scanner.
What is being tested?
The study tests [68Ga]CBP8's ability to detect collagen in lungs affected by early ILD using PET imaging. It compares this new method against Dotarem, a standard contrast agent, to see which better identifies early disease stages.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions to the contrast agents used ([68Ga]CBP8 or Dotarem), discomfort from lying still during scanning, and exposure to radiation during PET imaging.
