Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe liver or kidney dysfunction, or those unable to cooperate with the imaging procedures, may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of 18F-AlF-FAPI PET/CT in assessing the activity of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) compared to the traditional 99mTc-DTPA SPECT/CT. Patients diagnosed with TED will undergo both imaging techniques within a 10-day period to evaluate their diagnostic accuracy and ability to assess therapy response. The study will quantify uptake in the extraocular muscles and correlate these metrics with clinical activity data to determine the superiority of the new imaging method. The goal is to enhance the diagnosis and management of TED through improved imaging techniques.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate assessments and better management of Thyroid Eye Disease for patients.

How similar studies have gone: While FAPI PET has shown promise in other fibroinflammatory conditions, this specific application for Thyroid Eye Disease is novel and has not been extensively tested.
