About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of \[18F\]-DPA-714 PET imaging in detecting neuroimmune activity in patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE). The primary objective is to compare \[18F\]-DPA-714 binding in AE patients to healthy controls.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

no second-line immunosuppressive treatment;

Disqualifiers

Pregnant women;

contraindications to MRI;

known allergic reaction to [18F]-DPA-714; legal protection measure;

paraneoplastic syndrome following immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
