About this study

The investigators will evaluate the detection of cardiac sarcoidosis or inflammation using 18F-FSPG PET/MRI (or PET/CT for participants with metal implants).

Read the detailed description

PET/MRI scans will be performed with a whole-body PET/MR imaging system capable of simultaneous PET and MR imaging (SIGNA, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI). Approximately 45-60 minutes after IV injection of 8 mCi of 18F-FSPG, PET emission scanning and MRI acquisition T1 weighted scanning will begin imaging both whole body and the heart.

What participants receive

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

  • 18F-FSPGDrug

    Patients receive 8mCi of 18F-FSPG and undergo PET/MRI imaging (or PET/CT for patients with metal implants) to determine the ability of 18F-FSPG to localize to cardiac sarcoidosis or myocardial inflammation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With 18F-FSPG Uptake on PET/MRI or PET/CT Fused Images Indicating Cardiac Involvement of Sarcoidosis

    Diffuse (widespread), focal (point) and focal-on-diffuse (combination of the two) patterns of 18F-FSPG uptake will be considered to be positive findings indicating cardiac involvement of sarcoidosis or inflammation

    Measured: average approximately 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Evidence of Whole Body 18F-FSPG Uptake on PET/MRI or PET/CT Fused Images Indicating Extra-cardiac Sarcoidosis

    The whole-body PET/MRI images will be evaluated for findings of extra-cardiac sarcoidosis. Evidence of 18F-FSPG uptake within the whole body will indicate a positive finding for the presence of extra-cardiac sarcoidosis.

    Measured: average approximately 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 18F-FSPG in people with Cardiac Sarcoidosis and Myocardial Inflammation, run by Stanford University 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 4 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 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?

Number of Participants With 18F-FSPG Uptake on PET/MRI or PET/CT Fused Images Indicating Cardiac Involvement of Sarcoidosis (time frame: average approximately 2 hours). 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 7 Apr 2023.
