PET scan test for mold infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing a new imaging agent to see if it can help detect invasive mold infections in the body. It will involve healthy volunteers and people with certain types of fungal infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You need to understand the study and sign a consent form.
- You must be willing to follow the study procedures and be available for the duration.
- Healthy volunteers must be generally healthy based on medical history, exam, and lab tests.
- Patients must have a proven or probable mold infection (like aspergillosis or mucormycosis), or other specific mold infections.
- Women who can become pregnant must use an effective method of birth control.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have uncontrolled diabetes or lack of adequate veins for an IV.

This study looks at how immune system problems relate to fungal infections, using medical records and lab tests on blood and tissue. It may help researchers understand the cause of these infections—especially for people with inherited immune conditions—and improve future care.
This Phase 1 study uses a special scan tracer ([18F]F-TMP) to see how it moves in the body and how fast it changes in people with suspected or known bacterial infections. It’s mainly testing the scan’s behavior and safety, which may help future infection-targeting imaging.
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan (FAPI-74) to see if it can detect areas of scarring (fibrosis) in the body. It may help doctors better understand and monitor conditions like certain cancers, infections after transplants, and heart inflammation.
This study uses noninvasive breathing/relates imaging (MRI or CT) to help diagnose mold infections in the lungs in children and young adults. It may help doctors find these infections sooner, especially in people with weakened immune systems.
This trial tests a new PET scan that uses a special marker to see if you have an invasive fungal infection. It may help doctors better diagnose and treat these infections.
