About this trial

The purpose of this study is to determine if measurements of active collagen deposition using \[68Ga\]CBP8 positron emission tomography (PET) and tissue injury using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) can predict an individual patient's pace of disease progression in non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis interstitial lung disease (non-IPF ILD) and identify which individuals will develop progressive pulmonary fibrosis.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age 18-80 with a diagnosis of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, connective tissue-associated ILD (due to rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, mixed connective tissue disease), or undifferentiated ILD.

On stable dose immunosuppression treatment (with prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolate sodium, and/or rituximab) for at least 3 months.

Pulmonary fibrosis, defined as honeycombing, traction bronchiectasis, or reticular opacities on HRCT performed within 1 year to or at Visit 1.

FVC of >/= 45% and DLCO >/= 25% predicted on PFTs performed at Visit 1.

Disqualifiers

Current or prior exposure to FDA approved anti-fibrotic therapy.

Extent of emphysema greater than extent of fibrosis.

Pregnancy or plans to become pregnant at baseline or during follow-up.

Contraindications to MRI.
