About this study

The purpose of this study is to measure arterial 99mTc-Tilmanocept uptake using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) scanning in HIV infected subjects known to have subclinical coronary atherosclerosis as assessed by contrast-enhanced coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Read the detailed description

Detailed Description:

Patients with HIV have been shown to have increased atherosclerotic risk compared to age-matched controls, and this risk is thought to be related to increased systemic immune activation. Specifically, systemic immune activation may contribute to destabilizing coronary atherosclerotic plaque, leading to plaque rupture and myocardial infarction. This study is intended to measure arterial uptake of the macrophage specific marker 99mTc-Tilmanocept using single photon emission computed tomography, applied initially to a group of HIV-infected patients with known subclinical coronary atherosclerosis on CCTA. Moreover, traditional markers of CVD risk and inflammatory markers will be assessed in relation to CV imaging outcomes. Positive findings in the index HIV group with known subclinical atherosclerosis will prompt subsequent study of three comparison groups, as above.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 10 inclusion and 25 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 6 Apr 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.

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?

Aortic 99mTc-Tilmanocept uptake on SPECT/CT scanning in HIV Patients (time frame: within 6 weeks of screening visit). 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 NCT02542371, which also lists 3 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 6 Apr 2022.
