New PET scan dye for heart inflammation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special PET scan dye (64Cu-GRIP B) to see if it can clearly show areas of inflammation in the heart for people with myocarditis. The goal is to improve diagnosis and help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) confirmed by a tissue sample (biopsy).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You agree to use effective birth control during the study and for 2 weeks after the scan, if you or your partner can become pregnant.
- Your kidneys, liver, and blood counts are within safe ranges for this study.
- You have not had certain cancer treatments (like chemotherapy or radiation) within the past few weeks, unless your doctor approves.

This Phase 1/2 trial studies a copper-labeled medicine called 64Cu-GRIP B in people with advanced, metastatic cancers. It may help doctors see where cancer is and how well the drug works, especially alongside immune checkpoint therapy for some cancer types.
This study tests a new imaging agent that may help show immune activity in the body using a PET scan. It is being tested in healthy volunteers to see how it behaves and to help plan future studies.
This study tests a new imaging technique that might better detect heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis). It uses a special contrast agent and ultrasound to see inflammation more clearly, which could help guide treatment.
This study tests a new imaging agent that highlights inflammation in the heart after a heart attack. It may help doctors see how much damage occurred and guide treatment.
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 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.
