About this trial
68Ga-fibroblast activating protein inhibitors(FAPI) has been developed as a tumor-targeting agent as fibroblast activation protein is overexpressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts and some inflammation,such as inflammatory bowel disease. And it might be more sensitive than FDG in detecting a certain type of inflammations according to our preliminary research. Thus this prospective study is going to investigate whether 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT may be superior for diagnosis, therapy response assessment and follow-up of Pulmonary fibrosis than 18F-FDG PET/CT.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
suspected or confirmed pulmonary fibrosis patients;
signed written consent.
Disqualifiers
pregnancy;
breastfeeding;

Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
68Ga-FAPI
DrugIntravenous injection of one dosage of 18.5-22.2MBq (0.5-0.6 mCi)/Kg 68Ga-FAPI. Tracer doses of 68Ga-FAPI will be used to image lesions of pulmonary fibrosis by PET/CT.
18F-FDG
DrugIntravenous injection of one dosage of 4.44-5.55 MBq(0.12-0.15mCi)/Kg 18F-FDG. Tracer doses of 18F-FDG will be used to image lesions of pulmonary fibrosis by PET/CT.
