Evaluation of the Precision and Sensitivity of Tilmanocept Uptake Value (TUV) on Tc 99m Tilmanocept Planar Imaging
Rheumatoid Arthritis
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Rheumatoid Arthritis focused on measuring RA, healthy control, tilmanocept, diagnostic, imaging
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- The subject is at least 18 years of age and was ≥ 18 years of age at the time of RA diagnosis.
- The subject has moderate to severe RA as determined by the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) Classification Criteria (score of ≥ 6/10).
- The subject has a 28-joint disease activity score (DAS28) of ≥ 3.2 (includes the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [ESR] test and Visual Analog Scale [VAS]).
- Subjects receiving traditional DMARDs must have been on therapy for ≥ 90 days and at a stable dose for ≥ 30 days prior to the first imaging visit (Day 0).
- If the subject is receiving bDMARD or janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy, they have been at a stable dose > 180 days prior to the first imaging visit (Day 0).
- If the subject is receiving NSAIDs or oral corticosteroids, the dose has been stable for > 28 days prior to first imaging visit (Day 0). The corticosteroid dose must be ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or an equivalent steroid dose.
- ARM 3 (only): The subject is receiving anti-rheumatic treatment and is a candidate for initiation of, or change to, a new anti-TNFα bDMARD treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The subject is pregnant or lactating.
- The subject size or weight is not compatible with imaging per the investigator.
- The subject has had or is currently receiving radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
- The subject has renal insufficiency as demonstrated by a glomerular filtration rate of < 60 mL/min.
- The subject has hepatic insufficiency as demonstrated by ALT (alanine aminotransferase [SGPT]) or AST (aspartate aminotransferase [SGOT]) greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal.
- The subject has any severe, acute, or chronic medical conditions and/or psychiatric conditions and/or laboratory abnormalities that would impart, in the judgment of the investigator, excess risk associated with study participation or study drug administration that would deem the subject inappropriate for study participation.
- The subject has a known allergy to or has had an adverse reaction to dextran exposure.
- The subject has received an investigational product within 30 days prior to the Tc 99m tilmanocept administration (Day 0).
- The subject has received intra-articular corticosteroid injections ≤ 8 weeks prior to the first imaging visit (Day 0).
- The subject has received any radiopharmaceutical within 7 days or 10 half-lives prior to the administration of Tc 99m tilmanocept at the first imaging visit (Day 0).

Subjects free of inflammatory disease
RA subjects on stable therapy
RA subjects who are candidates for initiation of a new anti-TNFα therapy
Arm 1 includes inflammatory-disease-free HCs. Arm 1 was designed to evaluate image/re-image consistency (repeatability and stability) of joint-specific and global TUVs across a variety of image acquisition intervals and to collect normative HC data.
Arm 2 includes clinically-diagnosed RA subjects on stable treatment. Arm 2 was designed to evaluate image/re-image and test re-test (i.e., repeated dose) consistency of joint-specific and global TUVs across a variety of image acquisition intervals.
Arm 3 includes clinically-diagnosed RA subjects on stable treatment who are candidates for initiation of, or change to, new anti-TNFα therapy. Arm 3 was designed to assess the efficacy of global TUVs, obtained before and after initiation of a new anti-TNFα therapy, to predict future clinical responsiveness to the new therapy.
