Investigation of Inflammation Using [C-11]-CS1P1 (NCT04517552)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
There is a compelling need for a noninvasive imaging approach to measure S1P1 in both preclinical models of diseases and humans. PET measures of S1P1 expression is critical for elucidating the pathophysiological roles of S1P1 in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. The relevance of S1P1 in clinical disease has become readily apparent with the FDA approval of the S1P1 modulator FTY720 (fingolimod) for treating relapsing-remitting MS (RR-MS). MS is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease caused by lymphocytic infiltration that leads to demyelinating neurodegenerative disease.
