Trial summary

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, chronic, lethal disease of unknown etiology and with a variable course. There is currently no test in routine care that can assess both the anatomical and functional damage of the disease at an early stage. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Value of 18F-Fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO) Positron Emission Tomography Hypoxia Imaging in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis - a Non-randomized Proof-of-concept Study Comparing Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Healthy Subjects

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, chronic, lethal disease of unknown etiology and with a variable course. There is currently no test in routine care that can assess both the anatomical and functional damage of the disease at an early stage. This is the first human study in IPF to evaluate the value of a non-invasive tracer, 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO), targeting hypoxia in IPF patients.

This is a Phase I, proof-of-concept, single-center, open-label, parallel group study.

It will include 2 groups:

  • 1 group of 10 IPF patients
  • 1 group of 10 healthy volunteers matched to IPF patients for age and gender
Being tested
FMISO-PET Protocol

    • PET scan (30 min) 2h post injection
    • Monitoring for 2h
    • PET (30min) 4h post injection
    • Discharge of the subject with appropriate recommendations after a PET/CT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing FMISO-PET Protocol in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lung SUVmean of 18F-FMISO measured in PET (time frame: At baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2025.
