Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography Imaging With 11C-ER176 to Delineate Macrophage Activation in Diabetic Gastroparesis
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating PET/CT Scan with 11C-ER176 and Core biopsy of gastric muscle for Diabetes and Gastroparesis With Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.

Timeline
Interventions
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.
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.
