Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: • The main objective is to evaluate the role of 68Ga-DOTA-NOC PET/CT in the imaging of disease activity in suspected neurological and cardiac sarcoidosis. ;Secondary Objective: • To assess the correlation between clinical response to immunosuppressive therapy and quantitative uptake measures (myocardial SUVmax and SUVmean for 68Ga-DOTA-NOC). ;Primary end point(s): • 68Ga-DOTA-NOC uptake (SUVmax and SUVmean) in target tissue (myocard and CNS) of sarcoidosis patients. • Sensitivity and specificity of 68Ga-DOTA-NOC PET/CT to determine sarcoidosis activity in neurological and cardiac sarcoidosis analysis. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Directly; it involves a PET/CT diagnostic intervention. | — |
