GLP1-R-related Disease

The aim of this study is to determine whether a modified fasting protocol can reduce the potential risk of aspiration for patients currently prescribed GLP1-RAs.

Clinical Study Overview Feasibility Study Plan (Study 1: Healthy Participants) Study 1- Confirming Flower capsule performance characteristics in detection of retained gastric contents greater than 1.5mL/kg in Healthy volunteers 1\. Study Purpose a. A controlled, prospective, between-participants study design to assess Flower in detecting the presence or absence of retained gastric contents (RGC), using sedated esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) as the ground truth for an empty stomach and known ingested volume as the ground truth for a fed participant. 2\. Study Endpoints a. Primary i. Visualization of Retained Gastric Contents b. Secondary i. Gastric mucosal visualization of the seven anatomical landmarks of the stomach (fundus, cardia, lesser gastric curvature, greater gastric curvature, angulus, antrum, and pylorus) ii. Gastric Cleanliness iii. Adverse events defined as capsule retention, capsule aspiration, perforation, nausea, and pain iv. Maximum, tolerated water consumed v. Patient tolerance vi. Exploratory attempts for successful swallowing vii. Exploratory minimum and maximum water volume for optimal Flower performance viii. Time required for gastric examination completion by Flower

To evaluate the potential usefulness of 68Ga/18F-Exendin 4 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for the diagnosis of primary and metastatic lesions in various GLP-1R-related disease patients.
