Visualization of Carotid Atherosclerosis by 68Ga-MSA

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Atherosclerosis
Carotid Atherosclerosis
Noninvasive Imaging of Atherosclerosis
Interventions
Other: 68Gallium-MSA
Registration Number
NCT01893489
Lead Sponsor
Korea University
Brief Summary

Until now, no specific atherosclerosis-targeting agent labeled with positron emitter is not yet available. Investigators developed neomannosyl human serum albumin(MSA) for the terminal mannose residues of MSA binding with the mannose receptors of macrophages in atherosclerosis, and investigators investigate whether 68Ga-MSA can be a novel agent for non-invasive molecular imaging of carotid atherosclerotic lesion in PET.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
side reactions at MSA injection site of the skinwith 2 hours after MSA injection

development of unexpected skin rashes or other skin lesions at MSA injection site of the skin with 2 hours after MSA injection

unstable changes of vital signs and development of abnormal biochemical parameters24 hours after MSA injection

This includes unstable changes of vital signs including blood pressure, body temperature and heart rate, and abnormal changes of biochemical parameters such as hematologic, hepatic and renal functions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
