About this study

The main goal is to study the correlation of pancreatic uptake of In-111-DTPA-exendin-4 (measured by ex vivo counting) with the beta cell mass determined in the pancreatic specimens obtained after surgery.

Read the detailed description

In order to fully characterize the highly promising tracer In-111-DTPA-exendin-4 in humans, quantitative SPECT imaging will be correlated to the ex vivo tracer distribution in patients undergoing pancreatectomy or a Whipple procedure. In vivo imaging will be combined with post-pancreatectomy (micro)autoradiography, measurement of In-111-DTPA-exendin-4 concentrations in the pancreas using a gamma counter and morphometric determination of the actual beta cell mass. By this means, the relation between tracer uptake and beta cell mass in non-diabetic patients and T2D patients will be established. These highly relevant data will allow the improvement of the interpretation of clinical quantitative SPECT data in subsequent studies in patients with T1D and T2D. In addition, high uptake has been observed in the duodenum/pyloric area in patients in an ongoing study. At this point in time, it remains unclear which cells are responsible for this uptake. It would be of great interest to identify the GLP-1R positive cells in order to better understand the physiological actions of GLP-1 agonists.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between the tracer uptake (counts) and beta cell mass (mg)

    The primary objective is the correlation between the ex vivo In-111-exendin tracer accumulation in the pancreas (counts) of patients undergoing pancreatectomy or Whipple procedure, and the beta cell mass (mg) in non- diabetic patients and patients with diabetes.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing indium-111-exendin SPECT/CT in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 12 Jul 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, funding for the trial was terminated and attempts to find alternative sources of funding were to no avail.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Correlation between the tracer uptake (counts) and beta cell mass (mg) (time frame: 4 years). 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 NCT03889496, 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 12 Jul 2023.
