A Single Center Pilot Study to Establish the 99mTc-EC-DG Imaging Protocol to Evaluate the Presence and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease


This study will assess the safety and tolerability of the investigational radiolabeled
imaging agent technetium-99m-labeled ethylenedicysteine-deoxyglucose (99mTc-EC-DG).
Additionally, the study will determine the specific times to best image the heart using a
SPECT camera with the investigational imaging agent and compare the images to those taken
while undergoing the standard rest and exercise/regadenoson testing previously performed to
detect the presence and severity of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).


The study will assess the safety and tolerability of technetium-99m-labeled
ethylenedicysteine-deoxyglucose (99mTc-EC-DG).

An outcome will be to develop an imaging protocol for a multicenter trial that will measure
the specific imaging parameters required for determination of sensitivity and specificity of
99mTc-EC-DG in a cardiovascular single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) study
compared to an exercise/regadenoson 99mTc- Sestamibi (MIBI) study for detection of the
presence and, when available, severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) as documented by
coronary angiography when available.

This study will be a single-center, prospective, open-label study of up to 6 patients with
positive findings from a MIBI (99mTc-sestamibi) exercise/regadenoson study within 30 days
for evaluation of CAD. Patients who meet study eligibility criteria will undergo a
99mTc-EC-DG rest study and a 99mTc-EC-DG exercise/regadenoson study. When possible, patients
enrolled will have clinical plans for a coronary angiography study to confirm presence and
severity of CAD.

This study will enroll up to 6 patients with a reversible perfusion defect indicative of CAD
on a MIBI exercise/regadenoson study. These patients will undergo a 99mTc-EC-DG rest study
and an exercise/regadenoson study.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age > 18 years

2. Reversible perfusion defect indicative of CAD on a MIBI exercise/regadenoson study
completed within 30 days prior to screening;

3. When possible, a coronary angiography will be clinically planned; patient and
treating physician must be agreeable to completing the angiogram after the
99mTc-EC-DG exercise/regadenoson study in order for the procedure to be performed.

4. The patient is able to provide written informed consent to participate in this study

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known cardiomyopathy or history of congestive heart failure (CHF) due to left
ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction < 40%)

2. A scheduled coronary angiogram that prevents the 99mTc-EC-DG exercise/regadenoson or
rest study visits from being completed prior to the angiogram

3. Plans to begin new anti-anginal therapy prior to completing the 99mTc-EC-DG
rest/stress study visits

4. Contraindication for provocative stress testing based on American College of
Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines for exercise or
pharmacologic testing

5. Intolerance or inability to receive sestamibi or regadenoson, or an inability or
unwillingness to exercise on a graded treadmill or receive pharmacologic stress

6. Inability to lie still for 30 minutes during image acquisition

7. Women of childbearing potential, unless willing to use adequate contraception
throughout the duration of the trial. Adequate contraception is considered hormonal
contraception for >3 months prior to entry, intrauterine device (IUD) in place for at
least 3 months, double barrier methods (condoms, diaphragm or spermicide), or a
partner with non-reversed vasectomy > 40 days prior to entry.

8. Pregnant (positive human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG]) pregnancy test at screening
for women of childbearing potential) or nursing

9. History of malignant disease (excluding treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma
of skin, or low grade cancers that are stable and do not interfere with exercise
which may be allowed with permission from the Medical Monitor) within 5 years prior
to screening. Resolution of a prior malignancy more than 5 years prior to screening
must be deemed as cured by the Investigator

10. Any physical, psychological or substance abuse (drug or alcohol) condition which, in
the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the ability to provide informed
consent or comply with study instructions or may adversely affect the safety of the
patient if enrolled in this trial

11. A known allergy to 99mTc-EC-DG or its components

12. Inability to adhere to requirements specific to the study site's protocols for
imaging and exercise/pharmacological stress testing, including but not limited to,
dietary restrictions and prohibited medications

13. Received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to this study

14. Enrolled in or plans to enroll in another clinical trial during this study
