Autoimmune Disease Crohn Disease Inflammatory Disorder Rheumatoid Arthritis Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Takayasu Arteritis | Procedure: Computed Tomography Radiation: Fluorine F 18 Clofarabine Procedure: Positron Emission Tomography | Early Phase 1 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine how fluorine F 18 clofarabine (18F-clofarabine) is distributed in the body, in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
II. Determine whether 18F-clofarabine can be used to image patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive fluorine F 18 clofarabine intravenously (IV) and undergo a single PET/CT scan for up to 120 minutes.

- Standardized Uptake Value [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 240 minutes after injection ]Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) will be the primary unit for assessment. Using standard PET/CT viewing software, the SUV will be measured for different organs and lesions of suspected disease and compared to reference/background tissues.
