About this study

Official title: Assessment of Fatty Acid Uptake and Blood Flow in Tissues Under Fasting and Postprandial Conditions; a Repeatability Study Using Dynamic PET/MR Imaging in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Non-diabetic Control Subjects

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall variation in the assessment of fatty acid uptake and blood flow in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle in the fasted and postprandial states by evaluating the repeatability of whole-body three-dimensional kinetic (4D) combined positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) readouts in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and non-diabetic control participants. Each volunteer participates 4 scanning sessions.

Read the detailed description

A total of approximately 13 T2DM and 6 control subjects (a total of 19 subjects) are planned to be enrolled to achieve 11 T2DM and 5 control subjects to complete the study, assuming a 15% drop-out rate. The test-retest repeatability of the ratio of FTHA uptake rates in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) to skeletal muscle is measured using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Assuming an ICC of 0.85, with a 5% two-sided type I error rate, a sample size of 16 completers will yield approximately 90% power to detect an ICC statistically significantly greater than 0.4 (usually considered as a criterion for moderate agreement).

The total radiaooin burden for tshi sitdu yis 27.4 mSv. The study is approved by the local Ethical committtee and Fimea.

What participants receive

    Also called Assessment of repeatability of fatty acid uptake in adipose using PETMRI

    One arm: Subjects are studied under two consecutive conditions, after overnight fasting and after a liquid meal ingestion. During each condition they are examined for fatty acid uptake in subcutaneous fat and skeletal muscle by FTHA([18F]-FTHA) PET/MRI as well as adipose and skeletal muscle blood perfusion by radioactive water([15O]-H2O ) PET/MRI. This was done at two occasions, 2-14 days apart, to assess repeatability of the measurements.

    Assigned interventions:

    [18F]-FTHA tracer injections [15O]-H2O tracer injections

    PET/MRI imaging

    Overnight fasting Liquid meal ingestion

Study groups in NCT05132335
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental: Imaging BiomarkersExperimentalEach study subject is is studied in four session: twice after overnight fast and twice after liquid meal injestion using PETMRI imaging. Adipose and skeletal muscle pefusion and fatty adic uptake are measured and and the repeability of results tested for these two situations. In PEt studies PET/MRI Scan with radioactive water ([15O]-H2O) and [18F]-FTHA are used as tracers. In this experimental study number of subjects studied is rather small. Therefore volunteers with and without T2 diabetes are analysed together and not on different arms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imaging Biomarkers in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Turku University Hospital at 2 sites in Finland.

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 6 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 14 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Finland. 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?

To evaluate the repeatability of the ratio of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) to skeletal muscle fatty acid uptake rates (time frame: Baseline through Day 14). 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 NCT05132335, 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 14 Aug 2023.
