Study Summary

A single center, open-label baseline controlled imaging study to designed to assess whether Positron Emission Tomography (PET) measurements of myocardial Fatty Acid (FA) metabolism performed with \[18F\]FluorbetaOx correlates with measurements using \[11C\]palmitate. This study involves the investigational use of a PET radioactive tracer, fluorine-18 radiolabeled fatty acid analog, \[18F\]FluorbetaOx designed to measure beta oxidation of fatty acids in the myocardium. The investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility of the method in heart failure patients with dilated non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (DCM) with or without type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obese subjects (Body Mass Index of ≥ 30kg/m2) with or without T2DM and normal healthy subjects to provide a wide range of perturbations in myocardial FA metabolism. Specific objectives include: 1. To assess the diagnostic quality of \[18F\]FluorbetaOx PET images and kinetics at the proposed 10 millicurie (mCi) dose. 2. To quantitatively determine the relationship between PET measurements of myocardial FA metabolism obtained with \[18F\]FluorbetaOx and those using \[11C\]Palmitate. 3. To calculate human dosimetry based on the human biodistribution of \[18F\]FluorbetaOx. 4. Correlate measurements of myocardial FA metabolism with changes in left ventricular (LV)structure and function performed on a clinically indicated echocardiography at 6-9 months after imaging.

Primary Outcome

The values in the table represent the number of participants, specifically Dosimetry and Kinetic patients and that is how the primary endpoint is arrived at. This is how the primary endpoint is determined through PET/CT measurements of Myocardial FA metabolism with F-18 Florbeta Ox. The data intended for this Outcome Measure use PET/CT images to visualize the amount of myocardial FA metabolism appears with the radio tracer, Florbeta Ox.
