NCT ID NCT07159074

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing whether a radioactive tracer called Tc 99m tilmanocept, already used in other imaging, can help detect cardiac sarcoidosis—a condition where inflammation forms in the heart. Researchers will give the tracer to 15 adults with confirmed sarcoidosis and take special SPECT/CT pictures. They will compare these images to standard FDG-PET scans and MRI to see if the new method works as well or better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Tc 99m tilmanocept (a radioactive tracer used for imaging)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new, more accurate way to diagnose cardiac sarcoidosis without the need for fasting or special preparation.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-phase study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The imaging agent is being repurposed, and its effectiveness for this specific condition is unproven.

Inclusion Criteria: Cohort 1: 1. The participant has provided written informed consent with HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act) or equivalent authorization before the initiation of any study-related procedures. 2. Women of reproductive potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at the time of the study. 3. The participant is at least 18 years of age. 4. The participant has a histological diagnosis sarcoidosis and meets 2014 HRS, 2014 WASOG, or 2016 JCS criteria for cardiac sarcoidosis. 5. The participant has had a clinically indicated cardiac PET-CT showing cardiac activity in the past 14 days. 6. The participant has had a prior cardiac MRI with delayed enhancement in pattern consistent with cardiac sarcoidosis as defined in the AHA Scientific Statement on the Diagnosis and Management of Cardiac Sarcoidosis (2024). Cohort 2: 1. The participant has provided written informed consent with HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act) or equivalent authorization before the initiation of any study-related procedures. 2. Women of reproductive potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at the time of the study. 3. The participant is at least 18 years of age. 4. Cardiac sarcoidosis has been clinically excluded. 5. The participant has an arrhythmogenic, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy defined as the presence of a cardiomyopathy with a history of recurrent (more than 1 episode) ventricular tachycardia, atrial arrhythmias, high grade AV block not due to ischemic heart disease Exclusion Criteria: 1. The participant is pregnant or lactating. 2. The participant size or weight is not compatible with imaging per the investigator. 3. The participant has renal insufficiency as demonstrated by a glomerular filtration rate of \< 30 mL/min. 4. The participant has hepatic insufficiency as demonstrated by ALT (alanine aminotransferase \[SGPT\]) or AST (aspartate aminotransferase \[SGOT\]) greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal. 5. The participant has any severe, acute, or chronic medical conditions and/or psychiatric conditions and/or laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration that would deem the subject inappropriate for study participation. 6. The participant has a known allergy to or has had an adverse reaction to dextran exposure. 7. The participant has received an investigational product within 30 days prior to the Tc 99m tilmanocept administration (Day 0). 8. The participant has received any radiopharmaceutical within 7 days or 10 half-lives prior to the administration of Tc 99m tilmanocept (Day 0).
