[18F]Fluoropropyl-Trimethoprim ([18F]F-TMP) PET/CT Imaging to Evaluate Biodistribution and Kinetics in Human Subjects

[18F]Fluoropropyl-Trimethoprim ([18F]F-TMP) PET/CT Imaging to Evaluate Biodistribution and Kinetics in Human Subjects

The purpose of this study is to study a radioactive tracer, a type of imaging drug that is injected into the body to see how it is taken up in sites of active infection using an imaging procedure called Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT).

Inclusion Criteria:

• At least 18 years of age
• Known or suspected bacterial infection, per clinical documentation of suspected infection (e.g. lab results, pathology results, physician progress notes, clinical symptoms of infection)
• Able to understand the investigational nature of this study and provide written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines prior to study-specific procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

• Antibiotic therapy with trimethoprim within 48h of the baseline PET/CT scan
• Inability to tolerate imaging procedures, in the opinion of an investigator or treating physician
• Unstable or other severe medical or psychological comorbidities that would compromise the subject's safety or successful participation in the study, in the opinion of an investigator or treating physician
• Pregnant or breast feeding patients; a urine pregnancy test will be performed in women of child-bearing potential prior to [18F]F-TMP injection, to confirm non-pregnant status
