a phase i study to evaluate bfpet as a potential myocardial perfusion imaging(mpi) agent for pet

Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease

Summary: safety and dosimetry of bfpet™ will be evaluated in healthy volunteers and coronary artery disease (cad) patients , male or female and of age ranging between 20-80 years old.

study procedures: visit 1: screening - eligibility determination visit 2 (within 14 days post screening): injection of bfpet™ and pet imaging visit 3 (within 24-48 hours post dose): follow-up visit
