About this study

Studies of myocardial fuel selection using a novel palmitate-based PET probe

Read the detailed description

A novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) probe, 16- 18-F-fluoro-4-thiapalmitate, will be used to evaluate myocardial atty acid uptake. Studies will be done in humans with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and in controls. Studies will take place on 2 separate days, under fasting conditions and under insulin clamp conditions.

Being tested
thiapalmitate tracer, Saline, Insulin
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • thiapalmitate tracerDrug

    Also called 16- 18-F-fluoro-4-thiapalmitate

    Radiolabeled tracer infusion; occurs in all treatment arms

  • SalineDrug

    Saline infusion for control

  • InsulinDrug

    Insulin infusion for insulin/glucose clamp procedure

Study groups in NCT02563834
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SalineExperimentalStudies will be performed on one day under fasting conditions, using a saline infusion. All subjects will receive infusions of radiolabeled acetate and radiolabeled thiapalmitate tracer (16-18-F-fluoro-4-thiapalmitate).
Receives: Drug: thiapalmitate tracer; Drug: Saline
Insulin ClampExperimentalStudies will be performed on a separate day under fasting conditions, using an insulin infusion to achieve steady state insulin/glucose clamp conditions. Studies will be performed on one day under fasting conditions, using a saline infusion. All subjects will receive infusions of radiolabeled acetate and radiolabeled thiapalmitate tracer (16-18-F-fluoro-4-thiapalmitate).
Receives: Drug: thiapalmitate tracer; Drug: Insulin

  1. Myocardial Fatty Acid Uptake Rate

    PET measure of fatty acid uptake rate

    Measured: 4 Hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Myocardial Oxidation Rate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing thiapalmitate tracer, Saline and Insulin in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Indiana University 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 7 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 31 Aug 2016. 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 31 Aug 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?

Myocardial Fatty Acid Uptake Rate (time frame: 4 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 NCT02563834, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Aug 2016.
