Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTA-NOC PET/CT for the assessment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis patients, in particular IPF and NSIP cases, comparing PET/CT results with data obtained with routinely performed HRCT and pulmonary function tests.;Secondary Objective: Secondary aim is to identify novel therapeutic strategies for these patients. In particular the possibility to visualize somatostain receptor expression in vivo by 68Ga-DOTA-NOC PET/CT allows the selection of patient potentially candidated to receptor targeted therapy.;Primary end point(s): To evaluate the sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTA-NOC PET/CT for the assessment of idiopatic pulmonary fibrosis. Comparison of the extension of fibrosis detected by vs HRCT and prognostic value of SUV compared to HRCT parameter and Pulmonary Function Tests | — |
