Symptomatisk og systemisk aterosklerotisk plakaktivitet hos patienter med perifer arteriel sygdom ved brug af ny billeddannelsesteknologi

The goal of this observational study is to characterise the relationships between inflammation, microcalcification and thrombus activity in atherosclerotic plaques in peripheral and systemic vascular territories in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease.

Studieoversigt

Detaljeret beskrivelse

In peripheral arterial disease (PAD), arteries in the lower body can become narrowed and develop blockages due to a process called atherosclerosis, leading to reduced blood flow to the lower limbs. Symptoms can range from mild cramping pain in legs on walking, to loss of parts of the leg. Patients with PAD are also at a high risk of blockages in other arteries in the body that can lead to problems such as heart attacks and strokes. Despite improvements in medical treatments and surgery, the outlook for patients with PAD has not improved.

Further information is required to understand the relationships between the processes that lead to narrowing and blockages (atherosclerosis) of the arteries and if they behave the same in different parts of the body. This can help to identify targeted treatments to reduce the risk of the disease getting worse and avoid heart attacks and strokes.

In this study investigators plan to recruit 100 people with symptomatic PAD to undergo a series of whole body PET-CT and CT angiogram scans using different tracers targeting the processes involved in atherosclerosis. Investigators will aim to co-enrol patients taking part in the LEADER-PAD study (NCT04774159).

Tidsramme
Quantification of PET tracer uptake of [68Ga]DOTATATE, [18F]GP1 and [18F]NaF in the symptomatic lower limb(s)
Tidsramme: From baseline imaging until completion imaging at 1 year

The 3 primary endpoints will be the location and degree of:

  1. inflammation: uptake of [68Ga]DOTATATE
  2. calcification: uptake of [18F]NaF
  3. thrombus activity: uptake of [18F]GP1 in peripheral arterial disease affecting the lower limbs. This will be determined by the degree of tracer standardised uptake values (SUVs) at the site of the symptomatic atherosclerotic plaque.
From baseline imaging until completion imaging at 1 year

Tidsramme
Quantification of PET tracer uptake of [68Ga]DOTATATE, [18F]GP1 and [18F]NaF in remote arterial territories
Tidsramme: From baseline imaging until completion imaging at 1 year

The secondary outcome measures will be the location and degree of inflammation, calcification and thrombus activity in remote arterial territories, including the coronary arteries, cerebral arteries, aorta and mesenteric vessels, as determined by SUVs of [68Ga]DOTATATE, [18F]NaF and [18F]GP1, respectively.

From baseline imaging until completion imaging at 1 year
CT plaque morphology
Tidsramme: From baseline imaging to completion imaging at 1 year

Investigators will characterise CT plaque morphology (total, calcified, non-calcified and low-attenuation plaque) in peripheral and systemic arterial beds and compare this to areas of [68Ga]DOTATATE, [18F]GP1 and [18F]NaF uptake.

From baseline imaging to completion imaging at 1 year
The association between patient risk factors for cardiovascular disease and PET tracer uptake
Tidsramme: Frome baseline imaging to completion imaging at 1 year

Investigators will explore the association between patient risk factors for cardiovascular disease (hypertension, diabetes, smoking) and the degree of [68Ga]DOTATATE, [18F]GP1 and [18F]NaF uptake as quantified by standard uptake values (SUVs). This will be measured by odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for each risk factor-tracer combination.

Frome baseline imaging to completion imaging at 1 year
The progression of microcalcification, as defined by [18F]NaF uptake, to macrocalcification.
Tidsramme: From baseline imaging to completion imaging at 1 year

Investigators will also aim to characterise the relationship between microcalcification progressing to calcification and the uptake of [18F]NaF. This will be assessed using baseline and follow-up [18F]NaF PET-CT SUVs and their correlation with calcified regions on CT angiography.
