About this study

68Ga-DOTATATE is a PET radiotracer with high affinity and selectivity for somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR 2) and is approved clinically for the evaluation of patients with neuroendocrine tumors. The SSTR2 receptor is also highly expressed at the surface of human macrophages and lymphocytes. In comparison to FDG, 68Ga-DOTATATE presents the advantage of fast clearance from tissues, which are not expressing somatostatin receptors, in particular muscular and myocardial tissues, and the level of blood glucose does not influence its uptake.

Accumulation of 68Ga-DOTATATE has already been detected in coronary and carotid plaques and is associated with the number of activated macrophages present in plaques obtained after carotid endarterectomy. In a recent study, Tarkin et al. confirmed the preferential uptake of 68Ga-DOTATATE by macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques. In addition, the intensity of 68Ga-DOTATATE was higher in culprit lesions in the carotid and coronary arteries than in stable lesions. The evaluation of 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake in coronary arteries was also strongly facilitated in comparison to FDG thanks to the absence of spillover signal from the myocardium.

AAA has developed a new kit that has markedly simplified the synthesis of 68Ga-DOTATATE and has obtained in the US marketing authorization for the kit (Netspot; kit for the preparation of Gallium-68-DOTATATE injection for intravenous use) on June 1st 2016 (NDA 208547) for evaluation of patients with neuro-endocrine tumors. The Netspot kit will be used in this study for the detection of progressing coronary atherosclerosis.

Design of the trial :

iPROGRESS is a prospective interventional study. The primary objective of this study will be to test the association between the intensity of 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake in coronary plaques quantified with PET at M0 and the absolute progression rate of coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) measured between the CT acquired at M0 and after 2 years.

Patients will be screened until 1 month before the inclusion (M0) visit. Thereafter, 3 visits specifics to the study will be performed.

M0 (baseline): Injection of 68Ga-DOTATATE followed by PET-scan and a CCTA-scan M12 et M24(follow-up): Consultation and low-dose cardiac CT for coronary calcium scoring performed

What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute increase in calcium artery calcium scoring (CACS) per year.

    The volume of calcium along coronary arteries will be measured on low-dose gated CT acquisitions using a dedicated software. The increase in CACS will be measured as the difference between the CACS measured at baseline and 2 years later and a yearly increase rate of CACS will be calculated.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Combined end point including cardiovascular death, acute coronary syndrome and ischemia-driven coronary revascularization.

    Two years after the inclusion, the patient will be interviewed for the occurrence of cardiovascular events. In case of a suspicion of cardiovascular event, the report of the hospital will be collected or the physician in charge of the patient will be contacted.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Characterization of coronary plaques 1

    Coronary CTA will be analysed using a dedicated software. Each coronary plaque detected on the CCTA will be characterized as:

    • non-calcified
    • mixed
    • calcified High-risk plaques will be defined on CCTA as non-calcified plaque with hypodense region and positive remodelling.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Characterization of coronary plaques 2

    Coronary CTA will be analysed using a dedicated software. Each coronary plaque detected on the CCTA will be characterized as:

    • presence of hypodense region
    • absence of hypodense region (< 30 HU), High-risk plaques will be defined on CCTA as non-calcified plaque with hypodense region and positive remodelling.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Characterization of coronary plaques 3

    Coronary CTA will be analysed using a dedicated software. Each coronary plaque detected on the CCTA will be characterized by: maximal plaque surface.

    High-risk plaques will be defined on CCTA as non-calcified plaque with hypodense region and positive remodelling.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Characterization of coronary plaques 4

    Coronary CTA will be analysed using a dedicated software. Each coronary plaque detected on the CCTA will be characterized by: plaque remodelling ratio.

    High-risk plaques will be defined on CCTA as non-calcified plaque with hypodense region and positive remodelling.

    Measured: 2 years

  6. Characterization of coronary plaques 5

    Coronary CTA will be analysed using a dedicated software. Each coronary plaque detected on the CCTA will be characterized by: degree of luminal stenosis (%).

    High-risk plaques will be defined on CCTA as non-calcified plaque with hypodense region and positive remodelling.

    Measured: 2 years

  7. MDS TBR of coronary arteries and global TBR of the thoracic aorta.

    The most-diseased segment (MDS) will be defined as the max. TBR value with the highest signal along coronary arteries for each patient. Global TBR of the thoracic aorta will be calculated as the average of max. TBR measured on 2D ROI placed on the thoracic aorta.

    Measured: 2 years

  8. 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake in the parodontal bone.

    The intensity of 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake in periodontal bone will be measured on the PET acquired at M0 as average of four TBR max. values measured in each quadrant of the mouth.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing injection of 68Ga-DOTATATE in people with Coronary Arteriosclerosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 16 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 30 Jun 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 France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Financial issues). 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?

Absolute increase in calcium artery calcium scoring (CACS) per year. (time frame: 2 years). 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 30 Jun 2022.
