Résumé de l'étude

The project aims to study the effectiveness of nuclear imaging PET/CT using a new radiopharmaceutical product, [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor. We want to investigate whether this single examination provides similar information on the presence of cellular markers of inflammation of the heart muscle, compared to those collected by the multiple standard follow-up examinations of your disease. This new product is not currently approved in Switzerland.

(BASEC)

Intervention étudiée

Participation in the study consists of a PET/CT examination with [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor: the injection of the radiopharmaceutical product is followed by a one-hour rest period and the acquisition of images for about 25 minutes.

All patients will have the same PET/CT imaging with [68Ga]Ga-PentixaFor.

The standard follow-up and standard examinations related to the pathology will be carried out in a standard manner and will differ by patient group, being adapted to each pathology.
