University General Hospital of Patras

The Respiratory Medicine department at University General Hospital of Patras is conducting a trial aimed at reducing granulomatous inflammation using a novel agent, evaluated through advanced imaging.

• Evaluation of anti‑inflammatory therapy
• Use of [18F]FDG PET/CT imaging to monitor lung lesions
• Assessment of safety and efficacy in a 12‑week regimen

This research seeks to improve treatment options for patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis by targeting disease activity directly.

A comparative study at the same site examines a new antifibrotic compound against the standard therapy to slow lung function decline in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

• Head‑to‑head efficacy comparison
• Focus on preserving forced vital capacity
• Monitoring safety profile over the study period

The goal is to identify a more effective treatment for this progressive respiratory tract disease.
