Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to assess the lung distribution of the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging radiotracer Cu-DOTA-ECL1i, which binds to the specific population inflammatory cells, in patients with fibrotic lung diseases. This objective includes sub-studies to assess radiotracer distribution in the lung, the reproducibility of PET scans and the relationship of the scan to distribution of inflammatory cells in human lung tissue. The overall goal is to assess the potential of the radiotracer to track inflammatory cells in lung diseases.

Detailed Description

This is a single site, pilot Phase 0/1 clinical trial to establish the uptake of Cu-DOTA-ECL1i in additional patients with ILD fibrotic lung disease (n=60). Healthy volunteers without known pulmonary disease will be recruited as controls (N=5). All subjects will be recruited and undergo one dynamic PET/CT scan to characterize the lung uptake of Cu-DOTA-ECL1i. Among those with pulmonary fibrosis imaging, an arterial catheter will be placed for blood draws in n=10 subjects, an additional sub group of subjects (n=10) will undergo a second PET/CT within two months. A third subgroup of subjects (n=10) who undergo lung transplant will have analysis of CCR2+ cells in their explanted lungs.

Notice

Study information shown on this site is derived from ClinicalTrials.gov (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health). The listing of studies provided is not certain to be all studies for which you might be eligible. Furthermore, study eligibility requirements can be difficult to understand and may change over time, so it is wise to speak with your medical care provider and individual research study teams when making decisions related to participation.
