Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This Study is a Open label , non randomized prospective pilot.

We plan to conduct a prospective, observational, pilot study on 10 consecutively recruited patients with known cardiac sarcoidosis, on the basis of current accepted diagnostic criteria.
Eligible patients will be referred by their Cardiologist to the Mercy Radiology.
A member of the Research team will contact those patients to confirm eligibility and willingness to participate. Once patients have been recruited they will undergo a PET CT scan using [68Ga]Ga-FAPI.
We will analyse:
Patient screening rate (number of screened over time); enrolment rate (number of enrolled over time); screening failure (total number of enrolled/total number of screened); reasons for screening failure

Retention rate (number of patients completing the study /number of patients enrolled) and reasons for discontinuing the study before completion.

This information will determine feasibility for a larger multicentre trial

We will also analyse:

Number of patients with cardiac uptake at [68Ga]Ga-FAPI PET/CT deemed diagnostic by study criteria

This information will determine if [68Ga]Ga-FAPI is a more effective agent in diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis.
Patients will receive 1 dose of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI before their PET scan. Average radiation dose of 260MBq. The Agent will be administered intravenously
So far there is no known adverse effects of FAPI serious or otherwise
The radiation exposure is considerably lower than imaging agents currently used
Patients can expect a single visit to our PETCT department.
The study visit will last approximately 2 hours

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
• Patient age >= 18 years.
• All patients deemed by the Auckland sarcoid multidisciplinary team to have newly diagnosed, confirmed cardiac sarcoid based on histopathological/clinical/imaging data and who have had a CMR and [18F]FDG PET/CT as part of their diagnostic work up.
• Able to give informed consent
• Willing to use effective contraceptive methods for the duration of the study 90 days after receiving the IMP
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
• All pts in which the diagnosis could not be confirmed.
• Pts with confirmed disease who have not had [18F]FDG PET CT or CMR
• Patients who have started therapy for cardiac sarcoidosis.
• Patients unable, or unwilling to consent
• females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test on the day of treatment study initiation). Participants are considered not of child bearing potential if they are surgically sterile (i.e. they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal.
• Breastfeeding mothers
