Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: • The main objective is to evaluate the role of 99mTc labelled infliximab in the imaging of disease activity in newly diagnosed sarcoidosis ;Secondary Objective: • To assess the sensitivity of 99mTc labelled infliximab scintigraphy versus 18F-FDG PET to determine sarcoidosis activity in routine sarcoidosis analysis • To study correlations between (semi-quantitative) uptake of 99mTc labelled infliximab and other disease activity markers (serum ACE, serum sIL-2R, chest radiograph, VC, FEV1, DLCO, standardized dyspnea score and 6-minute walk test) ;Primary end point(s): Pulmonary uptake of 99mTc labelled infliximab in newly diagnosed sarcoidosis patients v.s. physiological uptake ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Scintigraphy is performed 6 hours and 20 hours after injection with the IMP. | — |
