What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing whether a special full-body PET scan can more accurately detect active ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and predict long-term heart disease risk. Researchers will scan up to 120 participants (some with active AAV, some healthy) using three different tracers and compare results with standard tests. The goal is to find a non-invasive tool that improves diagnosis and management of this serious autoimmune condition.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

AAV group: all participants will have a diagnosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) in accordance with the 2012 Revised International Chapel Hill Consensus Conference Nomenclature of Vasculitides criteria and clinician's assessment. At enrolment, participants in the AAV group will have active disease, as defined by the presence of symptoms and signs attributable to active vasculitis necessitating the commencement or increase in immunosuppressive treatment other than glucocorticoids. Matched control group: all participants will be matched with the AAV group based on age, gender, ethnicity, and cardiovascular disease risk factors including impaired kidney function. They will have no additional health problems and be taking no additional medications (other than those relevant to cardiovascular disease risk) that may interfere with PET imaging.

Ages

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
