What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take 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.

Summary

This study looks for ways to predict if pericarditis (inflammation of the sac around the heart) will come back. About 10-30% of people have a repeat episode, and half of those have multiple returns. Researchers will use a special PET/CT scan, blood tests, and patient information to create tools that help doctors identify high-risk patients early. The goal is to give advanced treatment sooner to those who need it most.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. History of recurrent pericarditis\* (i.e. presentation of at lease 2nd episode of acute pericarditis). 2. Age \>/= 18 years 3. Given informed consent * standard definitions will be used to define an episode of pericarditis. Pericarditis will be diagnosed by using available published criteria, which includes typical pericardial chest pain, pericardial friction rubs, widespread ST segment elevation or PR-segment depression that was not previously reported and new or worsening pericardial effusion on echocardiography. A clinical diagnosis of acute pericarditis will be made when at least 3 of these criteria are present. Exclusion Criteria: 1. severe valve disease requiring intervention 2. claustrophobia that precludes FDG/PET or CMR imaging 3. pregnancy (all women of child bearing potential will have a negative BHCG test) 4. breastfeeding 5. glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<50 m/min/1.72m2
