First-in-Human Evaluation of Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography With [18F]FB(ePEG12)12-Exendin-4: A Phase 1 Clinical Study Targeting GLP-1 Receptor Expression Cells in Pancreas

Pancreatic β-cell mass (BCM) has a central importance in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus. Recently, pancreatic β-cell-specific imaging, especially positron emission tomography (PET) with exendin-based probes, has emerged for non-invasive evaluation of BCM. We developed a novel exendin-based...
