Evaluation of Neuroinflammation FNOS PET/CT in HIV (+) and (-) Subjects With OUD and Healthy Controls

Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this research is to measure the extent of inflammation in the brain between different groups of participants using a radioactive tracer called \[18F\]NOS. A radioactive tracer is a type of imaging drug that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body. This study will see how the tracer is taken up in the brain using an imaging scan called Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (PET/CT). Participants will undergo approximately 60 minutes of dynamic scanning of the brain starting at approximately the time of injection of \[18F\]NOS. Participants are required to have a brain MRI performed within 1 year prior to study enrollment, or if the subject has not had a brain MRI that is deemed acceptable for use for this study they will be asked to undergo a research brain MRI after they have consented for this study.

Interventions

DRUG

[18F]NOS

Participants will undergo approximately 60 minutes of dynamic whole-body scanning, including the brain, starting at approximately the time of injection of \[18F\]NOS. PET/CT imaging sessions will include an injection of ≤ 6.5 mCi (approximate range for most studies is anticipated to be 3.5-6.5 mCi) of \[18F\]NOS.
