PET scan for heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis)
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new PET scan tracer, 64Cu-GRIP B, to see if it can better detect inflammation in the heart muscle (myocarditis). If you have been diagnosed with myocarditis and meet other health criteria, this scan might help guide your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation) from a heart biopsy
- You need to have adequate kidney and liver function (routine blood tests will check this)
- You must not have had a heart attack or other serious heart condition in the last 6 months
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you must agree to use birth control during the study

This trial tests a special PET imaging agent (64Cu-GRIP B) to see if it can help track how well CAR-T therapy is working in people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is for patients who have had at least one prior treatment and are scheduled to receive a standard CD19-targeting CAR-T product.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a PET/CT scan using a radioactive tracer can help evaluate acute heart inflammation. It may help doctors better identify inflammation and guide follow-up, especially in people suspected of specific heart inflammation conditions or recently after heart transplant follow-up.
This study uses a special imaging technique to look at inflammation in the heart for people with myocarditis. It may help doctors better see and understand the condition.
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 uses a special PET scan to look for scarring (fibrosis) in the heart muscle of people with heart failure. It may help doctors better understand why some hearts get stiff or weak.
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.
