Clinical Trial: As Part of a Pilot Study, Visualization of Inflammatory Activity in Systemic Sclerosis Using CXCR4 PET/CT

U.S., Oct. 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07212959) titled 'As Part of a Pilot Study, Visualization of Inflammatory Activity in Systemic Sclerosis Using CXCR4 PET/CT' on Oct. 02.

Brief Summary: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous clinical picture consisting of inflammatory, vasculopathic, and fibrotic changes.

Initially, inflammatory changes usually occur, which result in fibrosis over time.

This affects various organ systems such as the lungs, skin, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. Early detection of inflammatory activity is therefore important in order to prevent consequential damage, in particular irreversible fibrosis. Since the inflammatory foci can spread throughout the enti...
