d68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT Assessment of Cardiac Sarcoidosis

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Interventions
Drug: 18FDG PET/CT scan
Drug: 13NH3 PET/CT scan
Registration Number
NCT03549598
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

The Researchers are trying to determine if 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging will have a similar accuracy as 18FDG PET/CT in diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis and if it will be able to do so without the need for complex patient dietary preparation that is required with 18FDG PET/CT.

Detailed Description

Prospective study of 15 consecutive patients with suspected or newly diagnosed cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) who are referred for a clinically indicated 18FDG (and 13NH3) PET/CT scan for cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) will be approached to undergo a 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan. Comparison will then be made between the 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and the 18FDG and 13NH3 PET/CT to determine if 68Ga-DOTATATE detects CS.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
68Ga-DOTATATE Uptake With Cardia Sarcoidosis (CS)3 days

The number of subjects with areas of abnormal myocardial increased focal uptake

18FDG Uptake With Cardia Sarcoidosis (CS)2 days

The number of subjects with areas of abnormal myocardial increased focal uptake on 18FDG scan

13NH3 PET/CT Uptake With Cardia Sarcoidosis (CS)2 days

The number of subjects with areas of perfusion deficits on 13NH3 PET/CT scan

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Physician Confidence in Study Interpretation2 days

A Physician survey will be conducted for those cardiac imagers assessing both the DOTATATE and FDG studies to determine their confidence level in interpreting the studies and if one study was easier to interpret than the other

Subject Satisfaction2 days

A patient survey will be conducted after each subject has undergone both the DOTATE and the FDG scans. Patient satisfaction will be measured by the question, "Which study did you prefer?" Subject to circle one of the following: 18FDG, 68Ga-DOTATATE or Equal
