Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of 18 F-FP-DTBZ Pancreatic PET Scanning as a Tool to Measure Beta Cell Mass (NCT NCT02236754)

NCT ID: NCT02236754

Last Updated: 2024-07-23

Results Overview

The VMAT2 functional binding capacity in the body and tail of the pancreas is calculated as BPND (VMAT2 binding potential) × PET ROI (region-of-interest) Volume. BPND is unitless, and ROI unit is mL. Higher values of the VMAT functional binding capacity indicates greater β cell mass.

Participant Flow

Potential subjects with diabetes were recruited at the Naomi Berri Diabetes Center. The physician ascertained from the patient that he/she is willing to discuss the study with the research team before the investigators approach the patient. Non-diabetic subjects were either be referred by their physicians, by word of mouth, or by flyer.

Measure
Healthy Controls
Pancreatic 18 F-FP-DTBZ uptake will be measured with positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in healthy controls: subjects with predicted normal beta cell mass (BCM) (healthy, normal weight, non-diabetic individuals who have stimulated insulin and c-peptide levels within the normal range). 18 F-FP-DTBZ: The drug, no carrier added \[18 F\]-Fluoropropyl (FP)- dihydrotetrabenazine (DTBZ), is formulated in 5% (v/v) ethanol in 0.9% sterile saline solution to produce \[18 F\]-FP-DTBZ for injection. Subjects will receive a single i.v. administration of no more than 7.6 millicurie (mCi) of \[18 F\]-FP-DTBZ for injection immediately prior to imaging. The specific activity at time of injection will less than 1.0 mCi/microgram and thus for a 7.6 mCi dose the maximal mass dose will be less than 10 microgram. PET Scanning: Individuals will be imaged continuously (i.e. dynamically) for 2 hours.
Patients With T1D
Pancreatic 18 F-FP-DTBZ uptake will be measured with PET scanning in patients with longstanding Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM): subjects with predicted reduced beta cell mass (subjects with established T1DM who have low or no measurable stimulated insulin and c-peptide levels). 18 F-FP-DTBZ: The drug, no carrier added \[18 F\]-FP-DTBZ, is formulated in 5% (v/v) ethanol in 0.9% sterile saline solution to produce \[18 F\]-FP-DTBZ for injection. Subjects will receive a single i.v. administration of no more than 7.6 mCi of \[18 F\]-FP-DTBZ for injection immediately prior to imaging. The specific activity at time of injection will less than 1.0 mCi/microgram and thus for a 7.6 mCi dose the maximal mass dose will be less than 10 microgram. PET Scanning: Individuals will be imaged continuously (i.e. dynamically) for 2 hours.

Timeframe: Up to 2 months from enrollment

The VMAT2 functional binding capacity in the body and tail of the pancreas is calculated as BPND (VMAT2 binding potential) × PET ROI (region-of-interest) Volume. BPND is unitless, and ROI unit is mL. Higher values of the VMAT functional binding capacity indicates greater β cell mass.
