18F-FSPG PET/MRI or PET/CT Imaging of Cardiac Sarcoidosis or Inflammation

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Myocardial Inflammation
Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03103490
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

The investigators will evaluate the detection of cardiac sarcoidosis or inflammation using 18F-FSPG PET/MRI (or PET/CT for participants with metal implants).

Detailed Description

PET/MRI scans will be performed with a whole-body PET/MR imaging system capable of simultaneous PET and MR imaging (SIGNA, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI). Approximately 45-60 minutes after IV injection of 8 mCi of 18F-FSPG, PET emission scanning and MRI acquisition T1 weighted scanning will begin imaging both whole body and the heart.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With 18F-FSPG Uptake on PET/MRI or PET/CT Fused Images Indicating Cardiac Involvement of Sarcoidosisaverage approximately 2 hours

Diffuse (widespread), focal (point) and focal-on-diffuse (combination of the two) patterns of 18F-FSPG uptake will be considered to be positive findings indicating cardiac involvement of sarcoidosis or inflammation

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Evidence of Whole Body 18F-FSPG Uptake on PET/MRI or PET/CT Fused Images Indicating Extra-cardiac Sarcoidosisaverage approximately 2 hours

The whole-body PET/MRI images will be evaluated for findings of extra-cardiac sarcoidosis. Evidence of 18F-FSPG uptake within the whole body will indicate a positive finding for the presence of extra-cardiac sarcoidosis.
