The Investigators Will Evaluate the Diagnostic Performance of [18F]-AlF-FAPI-74 PET/CT in Inflammatory Disorders and Compare it With the Current Gold Standard for Inflammation, FDG PET/CT, in Three Patient Cohort: Patients Presenting With Fever of Unknown Origin, IgG4-RD and AxSpA.
Sponsor: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Summary
The aim of the study to evaluate the performance of new \[18F\]-AlF-FAPI-74 PET/CT in three inflammatory disorders (fever of unknown origin, IgG4-related disease and axial spondyloarthritis) and compare with the current stand-of-care \[18F\]-FDG PET/CT
Official title: Prospective Diagnostic Performance of PET/CT Using the Novel Fibroblast Imaging Tracer [18F]-AlF-FAPI-74 Versus Standard of Care [18F]-FDG in Inflammatory Disorders

[18F]AlF-FAPI-74 PET/CT
A \[18F\]AlF-FAPI-74 PET/CT will be performed at the same site of the screening visit (UZ Leuven). The patient will get an IV line, through which the \[18F\]AlF-FAPI-74 will be injected in one bolus (3,5 MBq/kg). After 60 minutes, the acquisition on the PET/CT scan will take place. The CT will be a low dose CT with oral contrast. After the scan, participants will be observed at the department in case of adverse events. If the patient receives therapy (for IgG4-RD and AxSpA), a second \[18F\]AlF-FAPI-74 PET/CT will be performed three months later.
