About this trial
The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of 68Ga- FAPI PET in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)

BMI ≥ 30
New diagnosis of HFpEF based on RHC at baseline (elevated PCWP at rest and/or during exercise)
Primary cardiomyopathy or pericardial disease or ≥ moderate valvular disease
Disqualifiers
None
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
68Ga-FAPI (gallium-68-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor)
Drug68Ga-FAPI is a gallium-68 fibroblast activation protein inhibitor that will be injected into subjects during a PET (positron emission tomography) scan
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Myocardial 68Ga-FAPI (68Ga-Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor) volume
Myocardial 68Ga-FAPI volume will be determined by a PET (positron emission tomography) scan and measured in cm3
Mean Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmean) and Max Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax)
SUVmean and SUVmax will be determined by a PET (positron emission tomography) scan and measured as a dimensionless ratio
Area of 68Ga-FAPI (68Ga-Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor) uptake
Area of 68Ga-FAPI will be determined by a PET (positron emission tomography) scan and measured as a % of polar map.
68Ga-FAPI target-to-background ratio
68Ga-FAPI target-to-background ratio will be determined by a PET (positron emission tomography) scan and measured as a dimensionless ratio.
