Tuberculosis, Pulmonary Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of 11C-acetate PET Imaging as a Novel Approach to Detecting Pathology in Pulmonary TB
Imaging using 11C-acetate PET (positron emission tomography) in patients with tuberculosis (TB) may be able to detect non-replicating persister bacilli. This may permit identification of those patients at risk of relapse following completion of TB treatment. The main aim of this pilot study is to assess the ability of 11C-acetate PET to detect pulmonary lesions in individuals with active pulmonary TB.
Novel biomarkers for detecting pulmonary TB and response to treatment are sorely needed. PET
in conjunction with either CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
scanning allows assessment of the metabolic activity of lesions as well as the structural
anatomy of the lung. The standard radiolabelled tracer for PET is 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose
(FDG) which labels metabolically active cells. However, one of the main limitations of FDG
is the non-specific uptake leading to difficulty differentiating between tumours, infection
and inflammatory pathologies.
11C-acetate is a PET ligand used currently to image various conditions but has not been used
to identify TB lesions previously. 11C-acetate may be taken up by the lipid bodies in the
dormant bacteria in TB, enabling visualization of this sub-population of bacteria. Using the
11C-acetate ligand for imaging pulmonary TB may add to the utility of PET scanning,
potentially allowing monitoring of drug activity against the persister population and
identification of those patients who may be at risk of relapse following drug therapy.
This pilot study will compare 11C-acetate to the standard ligand, FDG, using PET/CT and
PET/MRI. The target population for this study is those individuals with confirmed pulmonary
TB who have a high chance of demonstrable bacillary burden who are therefore likely to have
populations of persister bacteria in the lungs.
