Summary

This trial tests a new imaging substance to see immune cells. It checks safety in healthy people and then examines its effectiveness in detecting disease areas in patients with cancer, sarcoidosis, or heart damage. The substance has been used in earlier studies to image immune cells in various conditions.

Eligible Conditions
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Sarcoidosis
  • Cancer

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~1 year
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and 1 year for reporting.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: SarcoidosisExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In 30 subjects with sarcoidosis the radiation dosimetry, normal organ distribution, and safety of \[64Cu\]-Macrin injection will be studied. In addition, the ability of \[64Cu\] Macrin to concentrate at the tumor site will be correlated with imaging and histopathology, where available.
Group II: Healthy VolunteersExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In 10 healthy volunteers the radiation dosimetry, normal organ distribution, and safety of \[64Cu\]-Macrin injection will be studied.
Group III: Cardiovascular DiseaseExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In 30 subjects with a history of recent myocardial infarct, the radiation dosimetry, normal organ distribution, and safety of \[64Cu\]-Macrin injection will be studied. In addition, the ability of \[64Cu\] Macrin to concentrate at the infarct site will be correlated with cardiac MRI.
Group IV: CancerExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
In 30 subjects with an epithelial malignancy the radiation dosimetry, normal organ distribution, and safety of \[64Cu\]-Macrin injection will be studied. In addition, the ability of \[64Cu\] Macrin to concentrate at the tumor site will be correlated with imaging and histopathology, where available.
