Healthy Clinical Trial
Official title:
(18)Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography in Patients With Fabry Disease
This study will determine the rate of sugar metabolism in the brain of patients with Fabry
disease, a genetic disease of abnormal lipid metabolism. Compared with healthy people,
patients with Fabry disease have increased blood flow to the brain, which may result from
abnormal brain metabolic activity. This study will use positron emission tomography (PET)
and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compare brain sugar metabolism in eight untreated
patients, eight patients who are receiving enzyme replacement therapy, and eight healthy
volunteers.
Patients with treated and untreated Fabry disease and normal volunteers may be eligible for
this study. Participants will undergo the following two procedures:
1. PET scan < The patient lies in the PET scanning machine. First, the chest is scanned
for a few minutes to determine how much radiation the tissues of the chest absorb. A
radioactive sugar called fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is then injected through a catheter
(thin plastic tube placed in a vein) and the heart is scanned for about 45 minutes to
measure the amount of FDG in the blood inside the heart. The head is then scanned for
about 20 minutes to measure FDG in the brain. This measurement tells how much sugar the
brain uses for energy. The procedure requires insertion of two or three catheters. A
special facemask may be molded to the patient's head to help hold the head still during
the scanning.
2. MRI scan < The patient lies on a table surrounded by the scanner (a metal cylinder) for
about 60 minutes. A strong magnetic field and radio waves are used to show images of
structural and chemical changes in tissues.
This study may provide information that will help explain abnormalities in Fabry disease and
the effect of treatment on the brain.
We have found that patients with Fabry disease have an increased resting global cerebral blood flow compared with healthy subjects. This augmentation may result from an abnormal metabolic activity in the brain of the patients. The goal of this protocol is to study the cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (rCMRGlu) in eight untreated patients with Fabry disease, eight Fabry patients who are receiving enzyme replacement therapy and compare it with the rCMRGlu eight in healthy volunteers. In order to minimize the need for arterial lines we shall image the left ventricle of the heart to obtain the (18)FDG time-activity curve needed to measure rCMRGlu. The method will be validated in the healthy volunteers. ;
