Trial summary

Two investigational chemical tracers, 62Cu-ethylglyoxal bis(thiosemicarbazone) (62Cu-ETS) and 15O-water, will be used in this study to look at how blood moves through the kidneys. The purpose of the study is to see if 62Cu-ETS is effective in showing the blood supply to the kidneys compared to 15O-water. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Renal Blood Flow Measurement With PET

Two investigational chemical tracers, 62Cu-ethylglyoxal bis(thiosemicarbazone) (62Cu-ETS) and 15O-water, will be used in this study to look at how blood moves through the kidneys. The purpose of the study is to see if 62Cu-ETS is effective in showing the blood supply to the kidneys compared to 15O-water. The tracer mixes with the blood and moves through the body. Using positron emission tomography (PET scan) the researchers can see the tracer and can learn more about how the blood moves through the kidneys. The study invites participants who are healthy, without any heart or kidney disease, patients who have kidney disease that require dialysis, and patients who may have a blockage in one of the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys.

What is being measured

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

  1. Obtain preliminary information on efficacy for quantification of regional renal perfusion in two target clinical populations with a full range of renal disease using 150-water PET and 62Cu-ETS PET

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess the safety of the drug 62Cu-ETS through expansion to two target patient populations and increase the size of the normal subjects group

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 62Cu-ethylglyoxal bis(thiosemicarbazone), 15O-water and Positron Emission Tomography in people with Renal Failure and Renal Artery Stenosis, run by Jeffrey L. Lacy 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 12 inclusion and 16 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 19 Apr 2017. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Obtain preliminary information on efficacy for quantification of regional renal perfusion in two target clinical populations with a full range of renal disease using 150-water PET and 62Cu-ETS PET (time frame: one day). 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 19 Apr 2017.
