New PET/CT Imaging Study for Large Vessel Vasculitis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scanner (a imaging machine that takes detailed pictures of blood vessels) in patients newly diagnosed with large vessel vasculitis, a condition where large blood vessels become inflamed. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and monitor this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have been recently diagnosed with large vessel vasculitis (LVV) based on specific diagnostic criteria
- Be in generally good health (able to walk around and do light activities, though you may need help with some tasks)
- Have kidney function test results showing eGFR of at least 30 (especially important if you have kidney disease or diabetes)
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Be able to lie still inside a scanner without feeling claustrophobic

This study uses PET and MRA scans to predict damage to large blood vessels in people who have or may have large vessel vasculitis (LVV). It aims to find at-risk patients early so they can get better care. You'll need to be willing to have both scans and come back for long-term check-ups.
This trial tests two drugs, dapagliflozin and bosentan, to see if they help people with large vessel vasculitis who have been in remission for at least 6 months. The goal is to prevent flares and improve blood vessel health.
This study tests a special radioactive tracer, 18F-AzaFol, to see if it can help diagnose large vessel vasculitis, a type of inflammation in the arteries. The results will be compared with standard FDG PET/CT scans.
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 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.
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.
