Study of 68GaNOTA-Anti-MMR-VHH2 in Oncological Lesions, Cardiovascular Atherosclerosis, Syndrome With Abnormal Immune Activation and sarcoïdosis

Phase II study to evaluate the clinical potential of 68GaNOTA-anti-MMR-VHH2 for in vivo imaging of Macrophage Mannose Receptor (MMR)-expressing Macrophages by means of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in patients with oncological lesions in need of non-surgical therapy, patients with cardiovascular atherosclerosis, syndrome with abnormal immune activation and sarcoïdosis.

GENERAL EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 3 or higher.
* Pregnant patients.
* Breast feeding patients.
* Patients with any serious active infection.
* Patients who have any other life-threatening illness or organ system dysfunction, which in the opinion of the investigator would either compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the test radiopharmaceutical.
* Patients who cannot communicate reliably with the investigator.
* Patients who are unlikely to cooperate with the requirements of the study.
* Patients who are unwilling and/or unable to give informed consent.
* Patients at increased risk of death from a pre-existing concurrent illness.
* When a patient exhibits symptoms correlated with SARS-CoV-2, the patient should be tested using the standard of care testing protocol, prior to inclusion. When the test results indicate an active SARS-CoV-2-infection, the patient is excluded for this trial.
