NCT03830320

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate a new radiotracer called 64Cu-FBP8 for PET-MR imaging of thrombosis. The tracer has the potential of detecting thrombosis anywhere in the body, for instance in the left atrial appendage of patients with atrial fibrillation, and thereby may provide a non-invasive alternative to the current standard-of-care methods.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Complete blood count

    To model pharmacokinetics of \[64Cu\]FBP8 metabolism in healthy volunteers.

    36 hours

  • Target to Background Ratio LAA

    To determine the signal threshold of \[64Cu\]FBP8 that produces the highest accuracy of \[64Cu\]FBP8 -PET to detect left atrial thrombosis in patients with atrial fibrillation.

    4 hours

  • Target to Background Ratio

    To determine the signal threshold of \[64Cu\]FBP8 that produces the highest accuracy of \[64Cu\]FBP8 -PET to detect thrombosis in patients with known thrombus or suspicion of thrombus.

    4 hours

  • Time activity curve

    To evaluate human dosimetry and radiation burden in healthy volunteers.

    48 hours

Study Arms (5)

Healthy Volunteers

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Twenty (20) healthy adult subjects will be injected with \[64Cu\]FBP8 to establish the safety, whole body distribution, metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and radiation burden of the probe. All subjects will be imaged using PET/MR. Healthy subjects will undergo blood collection before, during, and after the scan. Healthy subjects will also undergo electrocardiogram before and after the scan. An interim review of the data will be conducted after the first six subjects receive the study agent and complete all safety assessments.

Drug: [64Cu]FBP8Device: PET/MRProcedure: Blood CollectionProcedure: Electrocardiogram

Atrial Fibrillation Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

Thirty-five (35) patients with LAA thrombus documented by TEE will be injected with \[64Cu\]FBP8 and imaged for LAA thrombus with MR-PET. The TEE studies in these patients will be part of their routine clinical care. Thirty-five (35) patients with atrial fibrillation and negative TEE will be injected with \[64Cu\]FBP8 and imaged for LAA thrombus. Forty (40) patients with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for TEE in the upcoming 14 days will be injected with \[64Cu\]FBP8 and imaged for LAA thrombus.

COVID-19 Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

Thirty (30) COVID-19 patients will be injected with \[64Cu\]FBP8 and imaged for thrombi in the body.

Drug: [64Cu]FBP8Device: PET/MR

Cancer Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

Thirty (30) cancer patients will be injected with \[64Cu\]FBP8 and imaged for thrombi in the body.

Drug: [64Cu]FBP8Device: PET/MR

Other Thrombotic Condition Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

Fifty (50) patients with other thrombotic conditions will be injected with \[64Cu\]FBP8 and imaged for thrombi in the body.

Drug: [64Cu]FBP8Device: PET/MR

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects less than 18 years of age;
  • Electrical implants such as cardiac pacemaker or perfusion pump;
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding (a negative STAT quantitative serum hCG pregnancy test is required for females having child-bearing potential before the subject can participate);
  • Claustrophobic reactions;
  • Subjects will be excluded if research-related radiation exposure exceeds current Radiology Department guidelines (i.e. 50 mSv in the prior 12 months);
  • Unable to lie comfortably on a bed inside the PET scanner;
  • Subjects under direct or indirect (i.e. same department as PIs) supervision of the principal investigator;
  • Body weight over the weight limit for the moving table (\> 300 lbs for the MRI table and \>441 lbs for the CT table);
  • Metallic or electric implants contraindicated for MR-PET scanning when applicable;
  • Does not have the ability to give written informed consent.
  • Determined by the investigator(s) to be clinically unsuitable for the study (e.g. based on screening visit and/or during study procedures);
  • Stroke within the last 3 months;
  • Myocardial infarction within the last 3 months;
  • Cardiac or major surgery within the last 3 months;
  • History of chest pain within the last 6 weeks unless followed by a subsequent stress test or coronary angiography;
  • +3 more criteria
