About this study

Official title: PET-MR Imaging of Natriuretic Peptide Receptor C (NPR-C) in Carotid Atherosclerosis With [64]Cu-25%CANF-Comb

To demonstrate feasibility of imaging Cu[64]-25%-CANF-Comb uptake in the atherosclerosis of the carotid artery of patients for whom carotid artery endarterectomy surgery is planned in comparison to the carotid artery for which intervention is not planned.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single center, open-label baseline controlled imaging study designed to demonstrate feasibility of PET imaging of radiopharmaceutical nanoparticle Cu[64]-25%CANF-Comb uptake by PET-MR. Patients will undergo Cu[64]-25%CANF-Comb PET-MR imaging of both carotid arteries. Both carotid arteries will be imaged at the same time. We hope to demonstrate differences in PET SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) in the significantly atherosclerotic artery in patients who will be going to carotid endarterectomy surgery in comparison to the PET SUV in the artery that is not significantly diseased (ie; the artery that will not undergo surgery) . We also will determine whether PET SUV of the Cu[64]-25%CANF-Comb by the plaque correlates to the American Heart Association classifications of atherosclerosis and tissue presence of NPR-C in the ex vivo carotid endarterectomy specimen post surgery as measured by RT-PCR.

What is being measured

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

  1. PET SUV (Standardized Uptake Value)

    Difference in SUV between the carotid with atherosclerosis (carotid artery to be undergo surgery) and the carotid artery without significant disease (artery for which surgery is not planned).

    Measured: 22-26 hours

Individual data sharing
Yes: The investigators may share your images with other researchers. They may be doing research in areas similar to this research or in other unrelated areas. These researchers may be at Washington University, at other research centers and institutions, or industry sponsors of research. The investigators may also share your research data with large data repositories (a repository is a database of information) for broad sharing with the research community. If the individual research data is placed in one of these repositories only qualified researchers, who have received prior approval from individuals that monitor the use of the data, will be able to look at the information.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cu[64]-25%-CANF-Comb PET-MR in people with Carotid Atherosclerosis, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

PET SUV (Standardized Uptake Value) (time frame: 22-26 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02417688, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Oct 2022.
