Filter by:It is an open label observation clinical trial, all participants are chronic liver disease. The investigators deem to make a novel evaluate criteria to hepatic fibrosis. The point of the clinical trial is to evaluate the novel biomaker 18F-FAPI-04 by PET-CT scan in the evaluation of the hepatic fibrosis.
Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. The two main types of primary aldosteronism are aldosteronoma(30%) and adrenal hyperplasia(60%). The gold standard that determines the diagnosis and treatment strategy of primary aldosteronism is adrenal vein sampling(AVS), but the success rate is only about 80%. Using CXCR4 as a probe for 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT imaging can guide the classification diagnosis and treatment strategy of primary aldosteronism, which is a favorable supplement to AVS. Superselective adrenal artery embolization(SAAE) and laparoscopy are the main operation treatments for primary aldosteronism. SAAE is an invasive interventional operation. It is a novel way to evaluate the changes in the structure and function of adrenal tissue pre-postoperative SAAE by using the changes in 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT imaging.
To evaluate the potential usefulness of 68Ga-NOTA Evans Blue (68Ga-NEB) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis of primary and efficacy assessment in lymphatic system related diseases.
Investigating the performance of Multi-tracer Multimodality PET in lymphoma
The study is an open label, multi-centre, randomized phase III study. The patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to treatment consisting of - Arm A: MD-SBRT in addition to standard treatment - Arm B: Standard treatment Study population: Patients with hormone sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) with oligometastatic disease detected by PSMA-PET/DT. This includes patients with de novo oligometastatic HSPC and recurrent HSPC after primary RT or prostatectomy. Primary endpoint: Failure free survival Secondary endpoints: - Predictive value of investigated biomarkers in blood and imaging - Acute and late toxicity after MD-SBRT - PROM at 3 months, 1, 3 and 5 years - Castration resistant prostate cancer, CRPC - Overall survival - Differences in outcome between patients by strata Stratification: To avoid imbalance between treatment arms the minimisation method will be used to achieve balance between de novo oligo-metastatic and oligo-recurrent patients, as well as treatment site. Safety evaluation: Adverse events and side effects graded according to CTCAE v5.0 will be collected every 6th month. Serious Adverse Events are to be reported within 24 hours throughout the study duration. Statistical methods: Survival endpoints will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method with differences compared using the stratified log-rank test. Randomization time is set as baseline time. Pre-planned subgroup analysis will occur based on pre-specified stratification variables. A Cox multivariable regression model will be used to determine factors predictive of survival. Safety analysis will be performed with Mann-Whitney U-test or Fishers exact test. Criteria for evaluation: Per protocol (patients that have started study treatment) and Intention to treat (all included patients). Planned sample size: 118 patients Analysis plan: The primary end point will be analysed after pre-specified number of events have occurred. All patients randomised to SBRT will be followed minimum 60 months for toxicity. Safety analysis of acute toxicity will take place after median follow up of 6 months. Safety analysis of late toxicity will be analysed after study closure. Duration of the study: Three to five years inclusion. 72 months of follow-up after randomization of the last patient.
This is a diagnostic study. Patients were included from patients with clinically suspected or confirmed heart failure, and 68Ga-FAPI and 13N-NH3 gated myocardial imaging were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of 68Ga-FAPI PET imaging in visualizing the degree of myocardial fibrosis in patients with heart failure. The subjects completed 68Ga-FAPI and 13N-NH3 gated myocardial imaging in a one-stop process, and collected general information, clinical data, echocardiography, blood routine, liver and kidney function indicators, 68Ga-FAPI and 13N-NH3 PET imaging results and other imaging data of the patients and volunteers.

Quantification of the metabolic rate of glucose from Dynamic Whole-Body PET examinations requires measurements of the time course of the radioactivity concentrations in arterial blood by blood sampling, and in the tissue of interest by dynamic PET. Invasive arterial blood sampling cannot be part of a standard examination, and therefore the blood samples need to be replaced by activity concentrations derived from the PET images, usually from small volumes in the descending aorta or left ventricle. Newly developed scanner software (Siemens) allows automated CT-based identification of blood pool regions and extraction of an image-derived blood input function from the corresponding PET data. However, this automated method needs validation, as it could be prone to systematic errors caused by limited spatial resolution, patient movement, and image reconstruction. We will use invasively measured arterial blood samples as a reference for validation of methods to extract non-invasive PET image-derived input functions and quantify any systematic errors that could propagate to the resulting parametric images.
