TRACER RGD-K5 Carotid Plaque Imaging Study

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Carotid Artery Disease, Carotid Stenosis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of the compound\[F-18\]RGD-K5, when used as a tracer during PET (positron emission tomography) imaging, to detect regions of unstable atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid artery of subjects being considered for carotid endarterectomy (CEA),and to confirm this ability through histological studies of samples of carotid artery plaques that will be collected during the planned carotid surgery.

• Participant or participant's legally acceptable representative provides written informed consent
• Participant is capable of complying with study procedures
• Participant has known carotid artery stenosis of >50% luminal diameter based on carotid ultrasound or computed tomography angiography (CTA), as stated in official clinical report or as measured by PI if no quantitative assessment appears in the report, and who is deemed to be a surgical candidate for endarterectomy
• Participant has had a carotid ultrasound and/or computed tomography angiography (CTA) and the report is available for collection

You may not qualify if…

• Female participant is nursing
• Female participant is pregnant
• Participant has been involved in an investigative, radioactive research procedure within the past 14 days
• Participant has any other condition or personal circumstance that, in the judgment of the investigator, might interfere with the collection of complete data or data quality
• Participant has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, lab abnormality that, in the opinion of the study investigator or treating physicians might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the participants by their participation in the study
