Who may be able to join

Who cannot join

  • Patients who ar unable to comply with study requirements.
  • Indication, in the opinion of the principal Investigator for urgent surgery that would preclude the time needed for PET-CT scanning, or clinical instability that precludes PET-CT scanning.
  • History of an inherited mitochondrial disorder (eg. Leber's hereditary neuropathy, neuropathy, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa and ptosis [NARP], myoneurogenic gastrointestinal encephalopathy [MNGIE], myocolonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers [MERFF] and mitochondrial myopathy, encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like syndrome [MELAS])

About this study

Official title: Exploration of the Use of [124I]FIAU Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography Scanning in Diagnosing Osteomyelitis in Patients With Diabetic Foot Infection.

This protocol will evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of [124I]FIAU as a diagnostic imaging agent for the detection of osteomyelitis in patients with diabetic foot infection.

Being tested
[124I]FIAU

What participants receive

  • [124I]FIAURadiation

    A single intravenous injection of 5 mCi[124I]FIAU in patients with diabetic foot infection who will undergo 2 PET-CT scanning.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the Sensitivity and Specificity of [124I]FIAU PET-CT Scanning in Detecting Osteomyelitis as Determined by Bone Biopsy in Patients With Diabetic Foot Infection.

    A bone biopsy was obtained through a noninfected area and submitted for histology and microbiologic culture. Cultures were also to be obtained by biopsy after debridement of the ulcer from a clean base. Subjects were dosed with [124I]FIAU. PET-CT scanning were performed. All PET, PET-CT, and CT images, both attenuation corrected and uncorrected, were to be evaluated centrally and independently. Results from the bone biopsies were not available to the central reader of the PET-CT images. The sensitivity and specificity of [124I]FIAU PET-CT scanning in detecting osteomyelitis was determined based on its correlation with bone biopsy, the truth standard.

    Measured: 30 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assess the Safety and Tolerability of [124I]FIAU

    Safety will be monitored for all subjects for the duration of their study participation. Safety will be assessed by monitoring of adverse events,vital signs, physical exams, and clinical laboratory tests including CBC and serum chemistry.

    Measured: 30 +/- 2 days

  2. Compare the Sensitivity and Specificity of [124I]FIAU PET-CT Scanning to Gadolinium-enhanced (GE) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Non-GE-MRI Scanning in Detecting Osteomyelitis in Patients With Diabetic Foot Infection

    All PET-CT images will be evaluated centrally and independently by a single radiologist. Diagnosis of osteomyelitis based on PET-CT will be compared with MRI which is currently the test of choice to diagnose osteomyelitis in diabetic foot infection.

    Measured: -2 to 72 hours post dose [124I]FIAU

  3. Assess Any Additional Information That [124I]FIAU PET-CT Scanning Provides Compared to MRI

    Additional information on the extent and localization of infection will be compared to MRI.

    Measured: -2 to 72 hours post dose [124I]FIAU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing [124I]FIAU in people with Diabetic Foot Infection, run by BioMed Valley Discoveries, Inc at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Apr 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess the Sensitivity and Specificity of [124I]FIAU PET-CT Scanning in Detecting Osteomyelitis as Determined by Bone Biopsy in Patients With Diabetic Foot Infection. (time frame: 30 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Apr 2016.
