Could a PET scan spot heart trouble in fabry disease before It's too late?
NCT ID NCT07351136
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a special PET scan tracer and blood tests to better understand and predict heart damage in people with Fabry disease. Researchers will look at heart tissue samples and blood markers from 20 adult patients. The goal is to find new ways to diagnose and forecast heart problems in this rare condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 68Ga-FAPI (a radioactive tracer for PET scans)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better ways to detect and predict heart problems in Fabry disease, helping doctors intervene earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early proof-of-concept study with only 20 participants. The findings may not apply to all Fabry patients, and the PET tracer is not yet a standard test.
