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)

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients aged ≥ 30 years old with exertional dyspnea (NYHA II and III) and LVEF ≥50%

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

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 68Ga-FAPI (gallium-68-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor)

    Drug

    68Ga-FAPI is a gallium-68 fibroblast activation protein inhibitor that will be injected into subjects during a PET (positron emission tomography) scan

Treatment groups

35 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: Obese subjects with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Active cardiac sarcoidosisActive comparator 1 intervention
Group C: Healthy subjectsActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
Baseline and 6 Months
2

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

Time frame
Baseline and 6 Months
3

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.

Time frame
Baseline and 6 Months
4

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.

Time frame
Baseline and 6 Months
