About this study

Official title: Somatostatin Receptor Imaging in Inflammatory Heart Disease

This prospective imaging study investigates the diagnostic ability of Gallium-68 DOTA-TOC (68Ga-DOTA-TOC) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the clinical work-up of patients with 1) clinically suspected acute myocarditis (n=30-40) and 2) clinically suspected cardiac sarcoidosis (n=30-40) using clinical diagnostic criteria as well as endomyocardial biopsy as reference. Furthermore, 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT findings will be compared with results from contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and in case of cardiac sarcoidosis even Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT, which are both performed as part of the clinical routine work-up.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Acute myocarditisExperimentalIncluded patients with clinically suspected acute myocarditis (n=30-40) will undergo a 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT and a blood sample will be taken. Furthermore, participants will undergo a contrast-enhanced MRI and endomyocardial biopsy (if clinically indicated) as part of the clinical routine work-up.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT; Biological: Blood sample
Cardiac sarcoidosisExperimentalIncluded patients with clinically suspected cardiac sarcoidosis (n=30-40) will undergo a 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT and a blood sample will be taken. Furthermore, participants will undergo a contrast-enhanced MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT and endomyocardial biopsy as part of the clinical routine work-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT versus contrast-enhanced MRI in patients with clinically suspected acute myocarditis (using clinical diagnostic criteria as well as endomyocardial biopsy as reference)

    Measured: Completion of enrollment, approximately 2 years

  2. Specificity of 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT versus contrast-enhanced MRI in patients with clinically suspected acute myocarditis (using clinical diagnostic criteria as well as endomyocardial biopsy as reference)

    Measured: Completion of enrollment, approximately 2 years

  3. Sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT versus contrast-enhanced MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with clinically suspected cardiac sarcoidosis (using clinical diagnostic criteria as well as endomyocardial biopsy as reference)

    Measured: Completion of enrollment, approximately 5 years

  4. Specificity of 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT versus contrast-enhanced MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT in patients with clinically suspected cardiac sarcoidosis (using clinical diagnostic criteria as well as endomyocardial biopsy as reference)

    Measured: Completion of enrollment, approximately 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT and Blood sample in people with Acute Myocarditis and Cardiac Sarcoidosis, run by Vastra Gotaland Region at 1 site in Sweden.

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 9 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 27 Sep 2024. 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 Sweden. 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?

Sensitivity of 68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET/CT versus contrast-enhanced MRI in patients with clinically suspected acute myocarditis (using clinical diagnostic criteria as well as endomyocardial biopsy as reference) (time frame: Completion of enrollment, approximately 2 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Sep 2024.
