About this study

Official title: Impact of 100mL Lipid Emulsion for Intravenous for Suppression of Myocardial Glucose

There is increasing evidence that [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT is useful in the identification and treatment of disease processes that involve cardiac inflammation and infection. Current applications include imaging intra-cardiac device and prosthetic valve infections, evaluating patients with known or suspected cardiac sarcoidosis or other inflammatory cardiomyopathies.

However, because normal myocardium can metabolize both glucose and free fatty acids (FFAs), physiological accumulation of FDG in the myocardium can interfere with the recognition of abnormal FDG uptake.

The use of a low-carbohydrate diet with a prolonged fast ≥ 12 h nutrition followed by a fast of at least four hours is the effective preparation recommended to suppress physiological myocardial FDG uptake.

However, the rate of suppression of physiological accumulation of FDG with this method in our center is only 50%.

Read the detailed description

Methodology :

Group of 30 consecutive patients with cardiac FDG PET prescribed, prospectively enrolled, compared to a group with the last 30 patients referred for cardiac FDG PET in the nuclear medicine department of the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace.

Procedures :

Infusion of 100mL lipid emulsion for intravenous two hours before cardiac FDG PET/CT:

  • Infusion rate will be 20 mL/hour during the initial 10 minutes (3 mL Intralipid)
  • The dose will be then increased to 40 mL/hour for the next 10 minutes (6 mL Intralipid)
  • Finally, for the next 50 minutes the dose will be increased to 100 mL/hour (83mL Intralipid)

What is being measured

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

  1. Uptake in the heart scoring according to a visual scale

    • Score of 0: complete myocardial suppression
    • Score of 1: incomplete myocardial suppression with increased myocardial FDG uptake hampering myocardial interpretation but not cardiac valves.
    • Score of 2: incomplete myocardial suppression with increased myocardial FDG uptake hampering myocardial and mitral or aortic valve interpretations.
    • Score of 3: incomplete myocardial suppression with increased myocardial FDG uptake hampering myocardial and both mitral and aortic valves interpretations.

    Measured: day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Preparation and Myocardial Inflammation, run by Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace at 1 site in Monaco.

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 8 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 Nov 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 Monaco. 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?

Uptake in the heart scoring according to a visual scale (time frame: day 1). 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 NCT04437927, 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 9 Nov 2020.
