PET Imaging of MMP Activation in AAA: Clinical Component
Washington University School of Medicine
Summary
A first-in-human evaluation of \[64Cu\]-RYM2 with PET/CT will be performed to: a) assess its safety, biodistribution, and radiation dosimetry in normal volunteers (WU) and; b) in AAA patients undergoing surgery (WU and Yale), evaluate radiotracer pharmacodynamics and correlate PET imaging characteristics (WU) with ex vivo tissue measurements (Yale).
