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.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female between 18 and 75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent
  • Chronic dilated cardiomyopathy of non-ischemic origin
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA)Class II/III heart failure for a minimum of 6 months prior to enrollment

Exclusion Criteria

  • A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody result within 3 months of screening
  • A recent positive pre-study drug/alcohol screen noted in medical records
