January 27, 2020 updated by: Polarean, Inc.

Evaluation of Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI as Compared to 133Xe Scintigraphy for the Assessment of Pulmonary Function in Patients Being Evaluated for Possible Lung Transplant Surgery

This study compares the equivalence of hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI to 133Xe scintigraphy for the evaluation of pulmonary function in patients being evaluated for lung transplant.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, cross-over Phase 3 study evaluating hyperpolarized 129Xe gas MRI as compared to 133Xe scintigraphy for the evaluation of pulmonary function. This study will enroll subjects being evaluated for possible lung transplant surgery (either single or bilateral) . Subjects will have both a 129Xe MRI and 133Xe scintigraphy image. The vast differences in technique for obtaining hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI as compared to 133Xe scintigraphy make it impossible to blind study procedures. However, all image interpretation will be performed by personnel blinded to the subject's medical history and all study assessments.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female subjects ≥18 years of age.
  2. Subject is being evaluated for possible lung transplant surgery (either single or bilateral).
  3. Subject is able to undergo MRI imaging and able to fit in the MRI coil.
  4. Subject is willing and able to comply with all study procedures.
  5. Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form (ICF) prior to any study specific assessments or procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Baseline blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) <90% at rest. For subjects requiring routine supplemental oxygen, SpO2 measurements should be taken with the patient's normal oxygen supplementation.
  2. Subjects that have undergone a prior pneumonectomy surgery to either lung.

  3. Female subjects of childbearing potential with a positive serum pregnancy test at screening, or who are not taking (or not willing to take) acceptable birth control measures through the Follow-up Period. Adequate birth control methods include with a monogamous partner who was sterilized more than 6 months prior to screening, or measures with a Pearl index of <1 used consistently and correctly (including intrauterine devices, or implantable, injectable, oral, or transdermal contraceptives). Women are not considered to be of childbearing potential if they meet at least 1 of the following 2 criteria as documented by the Investigator:

    • They have had a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy at a minimum of 1 menstrual cycle prior to signing the ICF; or
    • They are post-menopausal: for women ≥55 years of age, defined as ≥1 year since their last menstrual period, or for women <55 years of age, defined as ≥1 year since their last menstrual period and have a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the laboratory's normal range for post-menopausal phase.
  4. Women who are lactating and insist on breast feeding.
  5. Have received any other investigational therapy within 4 weeks prior to Screening.
  6. Requires anesthesia or heavy sedation to undergo MRI testing. Mild sedation could be acceptable (i.e. a low dose oral acting anxiolytic medication such as alprazolam) as long as, in the opinion of the investigator, the subject meets Inclusion Criteria #4 and #5.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Right lung function
Time Frame: 48 hours
Scan predicted contribution of right lung to overall lung function
48 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
6 zone analysis
Time Frame: 48 hours
The percentage function contributed by each of the individual 6 lung zones.
