Description

Summary

This is a single center exploratory imaging study investigating the initial application of zirconium-89 Deferoxamine B Certolizumab pegol (89Zr-DFO-CZP) PET in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with active symptoms of RA or signs on physical exam will be invited to participate for PET imaging.

Official Title

Zirconium-89 Certolizumab PET Imaging in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Details

This is a single center exploratory imaging study investigating the initial application of 89Zr-DFO-CZP PET in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Patients with active symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or signs on physical exam will be invited to participate for PET imaging. Study 1 is a dose finding study that will involve a single 89Zr-DFO-CZP PET scan acquired ~24 hours following a single administration of the radiopharmaceutical. The first 2 patients will receive 1 millicurie (mCi) of 89Zr-DFO-CZP. Subsequent groups of two patients will receive 0.5 mCi decrease or increase dose (up to 2 mCi) to determine the acceptable optimal imaging dose. After receiving the dose, participants will undergo 4 serial whole body PET scans between 2 hours and 120 hours after dose administration. Several blood samples will also be collected over this time period, for dosimetry analysis.
