A Prospective Diagnostic Trial of Al[¹⁸F]F-NOTA-folate PET in Patients With Suspected Cardiac Sarcoidosis and Infective Endocarditis (FOL-CARD)

2026년 9월 9일 업데이트: Turku University Hospital

A Prospective Diagnostic Trial of Al[¹⁸F]F-NOTA-folate PET in Patients With Suspected Cardiac Sarcoidosis and Infective Endocarditis (FOL-CARD)

The goal of this prospective diagnostic study is to evaluate the imaging characteristics, diagnostic performance, radiation dosimetry, and safety of Al[¹⁸F]F-NOTA-folate PET imaging in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis and infective endocarditis, and healthy volunteers. The study is non-interventional with respect to clinical management, and all diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are made according to routine clinical practice independent of study participation.

The main aims are to evaluate quantitative uptake of Al[¹⁸F]F-NOTA-folate measured by PET imaging in the left ventricular myocardium of patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis, and in cardiac valves or prosthetic valve regions in patients with suspected infective endocarditis.

Participants will undergo PET imaging with Al[¹⁸F]F-NOTA-folate tracer at the Turku PET Centre. Participants with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis will undergo a second PET imaging study after initiation of immunosuppressive therapy.

실험적: Suspected cardiac sarcoidosis
Patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis. All diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are made according to routine clinical practice independent of study participation.
진단 검사: Al[¹⁸F]F-NOTA-folate PET imaging
Imaging is performed in all study groups to assess myocardial, valvular, and extracardiac tracer uptake using a total-body PET/CT system (Siemens Quadra, Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). Imaging will cover the region from head to mid-thighs to enable assessment of both cardiac and extracardiac tracer uptake. Serum and plasma samples, ECG and vital signs are collected during the imaging study visit.

진단 검사: [15O]water PET imaging
Resting myocardial perfusion imaging using [15O]water PET is performed only in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis to assess myocardial perfusion and support interpretation of Al[18F]F-NOTA-folate uptake.
진단 검사: Echocardiography
Transthoracic echocardiography (GE Vivid 95, GE Healthcare, Hjorten, Norway) will be performed in patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis to assess left ventricular structure and function. Acquisition and analysis will follow standard clinical protocols. Echocardiography will be performed during the same visits as PET imaging.
