PET scan study for lung disease and memory problems
Part of Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for a protein called DDR2 in the lungs of people with both a scarring lung disease and memory or thinking problems. It aims to see if the scan can help diagnose these overlapping conditions better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung condition called interstitial lung disease (scarring in the lungs).
- You have had memory or thinking problems for at least 3 months.
- Your lung function (measured by breathing tests) is moderately reduced.
- You have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's, or a related memory disorder.

This trial uses a special PET/MRI scan to look for early signs of lung scarring and inflammation using a “collagen-targeting” tracer. It may help doctors better identify early interstitial lung disease (IL D) and track it over time.
This study uses a special PET scan to look at a brain protein called PDE4 in people with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It may help researchers understand how this protein is involved in memory and thinking problems.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brains of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects memory and thinking problems.
This study uses special PET scans (SV2A-PET/CT and PET/MRI) to see if they can help diagnose early memory changes, including Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). If you have early Alzheimer's or MCI, this could help find better ways to detect and track the disease.
This Phase 2 study tests whether targeting “neuroinflammation” (inflammation in the brain) can help in Alzheimer’s disease and related memory disorders. You may help researchers by doing several brain scans (including a special PET/CT scan) along with MRI and amyloid imaging to understand what’s happening in the brain.
This early research study uses special PET scans to look at lung inflammation linked to a target called CCR2. It may help researchers understand inflammation biology and future treatments, using scan results instead of an investigational drug.
