Fibroblast Activating Protein (FAP) PET/CT in Adults With Tuberculosis
Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania
Summary
This is an early phase study in patients with Tuberculosis (TB) to evaluate Fibroblast Activating Protein (FAP) activation as a marker of fibrosis. The Investigators propose to use FAP PET/CT to define the extent and location of FAP signals in lungs of TB patients early in TB treatment and after TB cure. These timepoints are chosen as they could be utilized to deliver treatments designed to prevent, predict, or treat Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD). The overarching hypothesis is that greater FAP signals in lungs of adult TB patients are associated with greater imaging manifestations of PTLD after cure.

Interventions
[18F]-FAPI-74
Each patient will receive approximately 8 mCi of \[18F\]-FAPI-74 intravenously (approximate range for most studies is anticipated to be 6-8 mCi). This will be followed by a vertex to thigh static scan at 30 minutes ( ±5 min) post injection and a low dose CT for attenuation correction. Participants will also undergo high-resolution CT (HRCT) of the chest at baseline and follow-up timepoints, these scans may be done the same day or on different days.
