Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if measurements of active collagen deposition using [68Ga]CBP8 positron emission tomography (PET) and tissue injury using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) can predict an individual patient's pace of disease progression in non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis interstitial lung disease (non-IPF ILD) and identify which individuals will develop progressive pulmonary fibrosis.
Detailed Description
60 participants with non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis interstitial lung disease (non-IPF ILD) on stable dose immunosuppression treatment will be enrolled. Participants will undergo combined [68Ga]CBP8 positron emission tomography (PET) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) at baseline. The investigators will compare the ability of PET and MRI measurements performed over the whole lung and within regions of interest to identify participants who subsequently develop progressive pulmonary fibrosis as determined by changes in pulmonary function testing, quantitative fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography, and respiratory symptoms over 24 months. The investigators will also test whether combining the PET and MRI measurements results in more accurate prediction of progression than either modality alone.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Development of progressive pulmonary fibrosis
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
Defined by the 2022 ATS guideline definition of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) which defines PPF as satisfying 2 of 3 criteria within 12 months: worsening symptoms, physiologic progression (absolute decline in FVC ≥ 5% or absolute decline in DLCO ≥ 10%), or radiologic evidence of disease progression.
Secondary Outcomes
- Decline of forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥ 5% from baseline(Up to 24 months)
- Decline of forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥10% from baseline(Up to 24 months)
- Decline of diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≥15% from baseline(Up to 24 months)
