Using advanced imaging to evaluate myelofibrosis
Official title: 18F-FAPI PET/MRI Imaging in the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Therapeutic Effect of Myelofibrosis: a Prospective Observational Study.
Run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University · NCT06164561 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing new imaging techniques to see if they can help doctors better understand and monitor myelofibrosis without needing invasive procedures like bone marrow biopsies.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients diagnosed with primary or secondary myelofibrosis who can tolerate imaging procedures.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other malignancies, autoimmune diseases, or those currently infected may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the feasibility and diagnostic effectiveness of 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FAPI PET/MRI imaging in patients with myelofibrosis. By comparing imaging results with bone marrow biopsy findings, the study seeks to provide insights into the relationship between imaging outcomes and clinical prognosis. The study design is multi-center and self-controlled, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of systemic fibrosis in myelofibrosis patients. The goal is to improve non-invasive monitoring of the disease process.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved non-invasive diagnostic methods for monitoring myelofibrosis.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of PET imaging in myelofibrosis is emerging, this specific approach with 18F-FAPI PET/MRI is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
