Vasculitis PET scan trial for heart disease risk
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET scan to look at inflammation in blood vessels and check heart disease risk in people with active ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). It may help doctors understand how to better manage heart health during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study uses a special PET/CT scan (called FAPI) to look at inflammation in people with ANCA-associated vasculitis and interstitial lung disease. It may help doctors see how active the disease is and guide treatment.
This study tests a newer, more sensitive PET/CT scanner to see if it can give clearer images of inflammation in blood vessels for people with large vessel vasculitis. It aims to improve how doctors check and monitor this condition.
This research uses a special imaging scan (PET/CT) to take detailed pictures of inflammation in the aorta (the main blood vessel from your heart). Researchers want to understand why some people develop bulges in their aorta called aneurysms. If you have an aneurysm or are a healthy volunteer, this study may help improve how doctors detect and treat this condition.
This Phase 2 trial uses a PET scan to study how local inflammation inside the heart affects the heart’s electrical wiring after a minimally invasive aortic valve procedure. The results may help doctors better predict or prevent rhythm and conduction problems after treatment.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for signs of inflammation in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It may help doctors understand which aneurysms are at risk of growing or rupturing.
This trial is testing a new imaging method (68Ga-FAPI PET/CMR) to better see and understand heart problems. It might help doctors diagnose or monitor conditions like heart failure or inflammation.
