About this study

Official title: Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography Imaging With 11C-ER176 to Delineate Macrophage Activation in Diabetic Gastroparesis

Macrophage-driven immune dysregulation has been shown to be involved in pathophysiology of diabetic gastroparesis. Currently, there are no non-invasive ways to study macrophage activation in humans. The researchers are trying to determine the utility of 11C-ER176 based PET-CT scanning to determine pro-inflammatory macrophage activation in gastric wall of patients with diabetic gastroparesis.

What participants receive

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

  • PET/CT Scan with 11C-ER176Drug

    Subjects will have a low-dose, non-gated, non-contrast-enhanced, free-breathing CT from the orbits to upper thigh for attenuation correction (CTAC) and anatomic co-localization. Immediately following the start of the PET scan, 518 MBq (14 mCi) (range 370-666 MBq; 10-18 mCi) of 11C-ER 176 will be administered intravenously followed by a saline flush. A whole-body PET scan from the orbits to upper thigh will then be acquired.

  • Core biopsy of gastric muscleDiagnostic test

    The echoendoscope (Aloka Arietta 850; Olympus, Center Valley, PA) will be advanced into the gastric lumen and a site targeted for EUS-guided core biopsies based on findings of the PET scan. Fine needle biopsy of the gastric wall will be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Uptake of 11C-ER 176 in the Stomach Muscle

    All patients will have a PET/CT with 11C-ER 176. On each PET image, volumes of interest areas will be drawn around the stomach and other organs that may show radiotracer accumulation. The uptake of radiotracer 11C-ER 176 in each area will be quantified and reported as maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax)

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Immune Cells With CD45 Expression

    An upper endoscopy procedure was done for diabetic gastroparesis patients and full thickness core tissue samples were taken in the stomach in areas that demonstrated 11C-ER 176 uptake in the PET scan as well as non-enhancing control areas. Cytometry by time of flight (CyTOF) mass spectrometry system was used to determine the proportions of immune cell types with CD45.

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing PET/CT Scan with 11C-ER176 and Core biopsy of gastric muscle in people with Diabetes and Gastroparesis With Diabetes Mellitus, run by Mayo Clinic 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 5 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 18 Apr 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Apr 2023). 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?

Uptake of 11C-ER 176 in the Stomach Muscle (time frame: baseline). 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 18 Apr 2023.
