PET Imaging CCR2 in Lung Inflammation


Sponsor

Enrollment

110 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

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.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is using a new type of PET scan to measure a specific type of immune cell (called CCR2-positive monocytes) in the lungs of both healthy people and smokers, to better understand inflammation in the lungs before it causes visible disease — potentially leading to earlier detection of lung damage. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 21 or older - You are either a never-smoker in good health, OR a current smoker who smokes at least half a pack per day and has smoked at least 5 packs over the past month - Your lung function test (spirometry) is normal (FEV1 and FVC above 80% of expected) - You have no known heart, lung, liver, kidney, or metabolic diseases - You can lie still in a scanner for about 1 hour - Your BMI is 35 or lower - You do not take any prescription medications **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant - You are enrolled in another study using an investigational drug - You have any active heart, lung, liver, or kidney condition or diabetes - You have used illicit drugs or other inhaled substances in the past year - You have a pacemaker or other implants that are incompatible with CT or MRI - Your kidney or liver blood tests are outside acceptable ranges Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
