Effects of Aprepitant on Satiation, Gastric Volume, Gastric Accommodation and Gastric Emptying
Rochester, MN
This research study is being done to compare the effects of Aprepitant and placebo on fasting gastric volume, accommodation volume, satiation (fullness) and gastric emptying.

Prophylactic Benzodiazepine versus Reinstitution of Maintenance Antiseizure Drugs following Ictal SPECT
Jacksonville, FL
The primary aim of this study is to compare the pre- and post-single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) seizure frequency following an IV benzodiazepine protocol versus reinstitution of maintenance antiseizure drugs (ASDS).

Prevalence of Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis in Clinically Significant Aortic Stenosis
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of TTR-CA in a community-based cohort of moderate and severe aortic stenosis patients using 99mTc-PYP single-photon positive emission computed tomography with computed tomography (SPECT/CT).

Study to Evaluate 99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT Imaging in Men With Biopsy Proven Low-Grade Prostate Cancer
Rochester, MN; Rochester, MN
99mTc-MIP-1404 is a radioactive diagnostic imaging agent indicated for imaging men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer whose biopsy indicates a histopathologic Gleason Score of ≤ 3+4 severity who are candidates for active surveillance and are undergoing voluntary radical prostatectomy (RP) [Cohort A] or routine prostate biopsy [Cohort B]. This Phase 3 study is designed to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of 99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT imaging to correctly identify subjects with previously unknown clinically significant prostate cancer.

A Study to Evaluate the Prevalence of Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis in Heart Failure Patients with Preserved Ejection Fraction in Southeastern Minnesota
Rochester, MN
The primary objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (TTR-CA) in a community-based cohort of consecutive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients with increased LV wall thickness using 99mTc-PYP single-photon positive emission computed tomography with computed tomography (SPECT/CT). As a secondary (exploratory) objective, we seek to establish and validate novel biomarker assays to screen for TTR-CA using blood and urine samples collected from study participants.

A Study to Evaluate a New Imaging Camera
Rochester, MN
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate new types of gamma camera (the Veriton and Starguide systems) that provide a significant gain in system sensitivity and improved image quality compared to a conventional gamma camera that can achieve equal or better image quality than a standard SPECT/CT system.

A Study to See if MPI SPECT Phase Analysis Can Detect Varying Levels of Changes in Heart Rhythm Patterns
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine if MPI SPECT phase analysis can detect varying degrees of abnormal heart rhythm between patients with normal coronary artery circulation, ischemia (poor blood circulation), and infarct (area of dead tissue) from loss of circulation.

A Study to Evaluate the Effect of POSE2 on Long-term Gastric Motor Function
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness and safety of a modified gastroplication technique for weight loss in five patients with obesity, and includes physiologic appraisal of gastric emptying (via gastric emptying breath test) and post-prandial gastric accommodation (via SPECT).
