Fluorine F 18 Clofarabine PET/CT in Imaging Patients With Autoimmune or Inflammatory Diseases
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This pilot trial studies how well fluorine F 18 clofarabine positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in imaging patients with autoimmune or inflammatory diseases. Fluorine F 18 clofarabine is an imaging agent or tracer which may be taken up by inflammatory tissue in the body. Diagnostic imaging, such as PET/CT scans, can be used to measure the amount of injected tracer that is taken up by inflammatory tissue. PET/CT scan may help to determine how fluorine F 18 clofarabine is distributed throughout the body.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
-
Determine how fluorine F 18 clofarabine (18F-clofarabine) is distributed in the body, in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
-
Determine whether 18F-clofarabine can be used to image patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive fluorine F 18 clofarabine intravenously (IV) and undergo a single PET/CT scan for up to 120 minutes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Standardized Uptake Value [Baseline up to 240 minutes after injection]
Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) will be the primary unit for assessment. Using standard PET/CT viewing software, the SUV will be measured for different organs and lesions of suspected disease and compared to reference/background tissues.
Eligibility Criteria

Exclusion Criteria
-
Women of childbearing age will have to undergo a pregnancy test that will be provided free of charge.
-
Patients unable to undergo or comply with PET/CT scanning due to pre-existing medical conditions including claustrophobia.
