Utility of 18FDOPA PET/MRI for Focal Hyperinsulinism

Evaluation of 18F-DOPA PET/MRI for Detecting Pancreatic Lesions in Hyperinsulinism

Recruiting
All
Phase 2
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates the use of 18F-DOPA PET/MRI in patients with hyperinsulinism.

The study evaluates whether this imaging technique can effectively locate lesions in the pancreas that may require surgical treatment. This could help doctors plan surgeries better by pinpointing the affected areas.

  • Who can participate: Participants include patients with high insulin levels during low blood sugar who have not responded to certain medicines and are recommended for surgery by their doctor.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo 18F-DOPA PET/MRI to locate pancreatic lesions. If MRI is not possible, a PET/CT scan will be used instead.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
