The use of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI PET/MRI in assessing disease activity in patients with Graves’ orbitopathy
EU CTIS ID: 2025-521163-12-01
What this study is testing
The main objective of this study is to compare the uptake of FAPI (Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor) in patients with active Graves' Ophthalmopathy (GO) versus those with inactive GO. This comparison aims to determine the differential uptake patterns and potential diagnostic value of FAPI in assessing disease activity in GO patients.

You may be able to join if
- Inclusion of 5 patients with Graves Orbitopathy (GO) and Clinical Activity Score (CAS) >3, consistent with active GO.
- Inclusion of 5 patients with GO who have previously undergone CAS >3, but with a current low CAS of 0 or 1 for at least 6 months (i.e. inactive GO)
You likely can't join if
- General exclusion criteria for MRI, including (but not limited to) claustrophobia, metal-splinters in face-area, recent surgery etc.
- For active GO: if PET-MRI can not be performed <14 days, patient will not be included
