Evaluation of a New Imagingtechnologie for Thrombosis

Phase 1

Terminated

• Conditions: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm; Deep Vein Thrombosis
• Interventions: Drug: [18F]-GP1

• Registration Number: NCT02469376
• Lead Sponsor: University of Zurich

Brief Summary

Arterial and venous thrombi play an important role in various vascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and pulmonary embolism. These thromboembolic disorders are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A non-invasive method for the quantitative and effective detection of thrombi in the whole body has not yet been established. In spite of the available techniques, 30% to 40% of ischemic strokes "cryptogenic" (undetermined cause, the source of thromboembolism is never identified). Possible causes of cryptogenic stroke atherosclerosis include in the aortic arch or intracranial arteries. A plaque in the arch or other large vessels could be an important source of cryptogenic strokes, however, are those difficult to detect by routine methods. The approach of thrombus targeted molecular imaging could identify potentially troublesome plaques early on before they become a dangerous rupture. The hypothesis is that the radiotracer 18F-arterial GP1 and venous thrombi using positron emission tomography (PET) can be made visible. The primary goal is the potential applicability of the substance as a PET tracer for diagnosing thrombi.

Detailed Description

This is a first in man study with which we are testing the feasibility of the use of this radiopharmaceutical product to visualize a thrombus.
