New PET scan for inflammatory bowel disease activity
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan to see if it can accurately spot inflamed or damaged areas in the intestines of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). If it works, it could help doctors track disease activity without relying only on invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by your doctor using colonoscopy, scans, or other tests
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are willing to have a special PET scan, a regular CT scan, and a colonoscopy within the same week
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Your scan images must be good quality for the doctors to read

This study tests whether a special PET scan can better show how well chemotherapy given directly into the abdomen is working, compared to standard scans. This may help doctors see changes in tumors earlier and guide treatment.
This study uses a new type of PET scan (called FAPI) to better see if cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It may help your doctor plan the right treatment without needing invasive tests.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer to 'light up' areas of inflammation in the gut. The results will be compared with your endoscopy to see if this scan can help doctors track and manage inflammatory bowel disease more easily.
This study tests a new PET scan with a tracer called 68Ga-FAPI-46 to see how well it can find and measure scarring (fibrosis) in the small bowel caused by Crohn's disease. It may help doctors better understand and manage bowel damage.
This study uses a special imaging tracer (FAPI) to find scar tissue in the small intestine of people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand which parts of the intestine are scarred, which may guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan (FAPI-PET) to see if it can better find colon cancer that has spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body. It may help doctors plan the right treatment for you.
