Study summary

The purpose of this research is to better understand the distribution of an investigational radioactive imaging agent called 68Ga-FAPI-46 in the lungs of people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) during a Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scan.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Clinical diagnosis of interstitial lung disease
  • Radiologic lung abnormalities on diagnostic CT chest
  • Anatomic imaging (clinical diagnostic CT chest) obtained within ≤ 180 days prior to the planned FAPI 46 imaging exam or within 14 days after the imaging exam.
  • Willingness and ability to provide

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant as determined by a pregnancy test as per institutional guidelines for individuals of
  • Declining to use effective methods during the study (for individuals of child-producing potential)
  • Need for emergent surgery that would be delayed by participation
  • Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections requiring systemic therapy
  • Serious co-morbidities and serious nonmalignant disease (e.g., hydronephrosis, kidney failure, liver failure, or other conditions) that in the opinion of the investigator, physician of record and/or Sofie could compromise patient safety and/or protocol objectives.
  • No available chest CT radiological data
  • No clear diagnosis of ILD
  • Intolerability to perform the exam due to exuberant dyspnea or severely low pulmonary capacity.
  • Breastfeeding. Note: nursing parents are allowed if the potential participant commits to pumping breast milk and discarding it from injection to ≥ 24 hours from the time of the [68Ga]FAPI-46 injection.
  • Known to any used in [68Ga]FAPI-46
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT

    Subjects with interstitial lung disease will have a dose of 3 - 7 mCi (111 - 185MBq) of ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-46 administered intravenously

    Drug: ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-46 · Diagnostic Test: PET/CT

Interventions

  • Drug⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-46

    Subjects will have 68Ga-FAPI-46 intravenously administered

  • Diagnostic testPET/CT

    Subjects will complete a PET/CT approximately 60-70 minutes after being given ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-46

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Standardized Uptake Value in Abnormal Lung Parenchyma

    Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) will be measured on 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT in areas of abnormal lung parenchyma suggestive of interstitial lung disease

    Time frame: Approximately 1 hour post injection

  2. Maximum Standardized Uptake Value in Normal Lung Parenchyma

    Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) will be measured on 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT in normal lung parenchyma

    Time frame: Approximately 1 hour post injection

Secondary outcomes

  1. Specificity of 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for Detection of Interstitial Lung Disease

    Specificity will be calculated using diagnostic CT chest findings as the reference standard. Specificity is defined as the proportion of participants without CT evidence of interstitial lung disease that are identified as negative on 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT.

    Time frame: Baseline

  2. Sensitivity of 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for Detection of Interstitial Lung Disease

    Sensitivity will be calculated using diagnostic CT chest findings consistent with interstitial lung disease as the reference standard. Sensitivity is defined as the proportion of participants with CT evidence of interstitial lung disease that are identified as positive on 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT

    Time frame: Baseline

  3. Accuracy of 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT for Detection of Interstitial Lung Disease

    Accuracy will be calculated using diagnostic CT chest findings as the reference standard. Accuracy is defined as the proportion of true positive and true negative 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT findings among all evaluated findings.

    Time frame: Baseline

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 18, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
