Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor imaging with 18F-GP1 positron emission tomography for acute venous thromboembolism: an open-label, non-randomized, first-in-human phase 1 study.

ABSTRACT: 18F-GP1 is a derivative of elarofiban with a high affinity to activated platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) and favorable in vivo characteristics for thrombus imaging in preclinical models. We aimed to explore the detection rate of thromboembolic foci with 18F-GP1 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), and to evaluate the safety, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism of 18F-GP1. Methods: We studied patients who had signs or symptoms of acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg or acute pulmonary embolism (PE) within 14 days prior to 18F-GP1 PET/CT, and had thromboembolic foci confirmed by conventional imaging (n = 10 for DVT and n = 10 for PE). Dynamic whole-body PET/CT images were acquired for up
