Trial summary

The purpose of this research study to find out if a drug called OctreoScan or DOTATATE can help doctors diagnose people with cardiac sarcoidosis better. OctreoScan and DOTATATE are both approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to diagnose certain tumors. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Individuals aged 18 or older
  • Documentation of biopsy-proven sarcoidosis OR patients with typical findings on FDG PET and MRI without previous biopsy
  • Clinical suspicion of cardiac involvement defined as the presence of any of the following: high-degree A-V nodal block, complete bundle branch block, reduced left or right ventricular systolic function, any cardiac arrhythmia, and/or unexplained chest pain, dyspnea or syncope
  • PET/CT imaging demonstrating abnormal myocardial FDG uptake consistent with active inflammatory myocardium.

Who cannot join

  • Initiation of steroids or any other immunosuppressive medication(s) following the completion of FDG-PET, as these medications, in theory, may subsequently suppress OctreoScan or DOTATATE uptake in the heart.
  • Patients with history of neuroendocrine tumors (specially insulinomas)
  • Patients taking the medication Octreotide
  • Patients on total parenteral nutrition (TPN)
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding

Study groups in NCT02546388
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Indium-111 Pentreotide (OctreoScan)ExperimentalPatients with biopsy-proven extra-cardiac sarcoidosis OR atypical findings on FDG PET and MRI without previous biopsy will be recruited to receive an injection of the FDA-approved radiotracer Indium-111 Pentreotide (OctreoScan). The imaging protocol will consist of imaging at 4 and 24 hours after OctreoScan injection.
Receives: Drug: Indium-111 Pentreotide
Gallium-68 DOTATATEExperimentalPatients with biopsy-proven extra-cardiac sarcoidosis OR atypical findings on FDG PET and MRI without previous biopsy will be recruited to receive an injection of the FDA-approved radiotracer Gallium-68 DOTATATE. The imaging protocol will consist of imaging 1 hour after injection for DOTATATE.
Receives: Drug: Gallium-68 DOTATATE

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Characterized by Abnormal or Negative Uptake

    To correlate localization and number of increased radiotracer foci between FDG-PET and DOTATATE studies.

    Measured: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effect of Treatment

    To correlate localization and number of increased radiotracer foci between FDG-PET and DOTATATE studies.

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Indium-111 Pentreotide and Gallium-68 DOTATATE in people with Sarcoidosis, run by Marcelo F. Di Carli, MD, FACC 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 9 Apr 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Mar 2020). 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?

Number of Participants Characterized by Abnormal or Negative Uptake (time frame: 1 hour). 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 9 Apr 2020.
