Study summary

The overall goal of this protocol is to evaluate the imaging characteristics of [18F]PI-2620 using positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS)

Read the detailed description

The imaging characteristics of [18F]PI-2620 using positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy, Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS) will be evaluated by a) determining the test-retest variability of the [18F]PI-2620 binding parameters in brain of patients with PSP-RS and non-demented controls (NDC).

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Imaging characteristics of [18F]PI-2620 for detection of Tau deposition in the brain of PSP patients

    All eligible PSP patients will receive two injections of the investigational imaging agent \[18F\]PI-2620: at a baseline PET imaging session and at a follow-up PET imaging session to evaluate the test-retest imaging characteristics. 10 PSP patients will be required to complete the study arm.

    Drug: [18F]-PI2620

  • Experimental
    Imaging characteristics of [18F]PI-2620 for detection of Tau deposition in the brain of NDC subjects

    All eligible non-demented control (NDC) subjects will receive two injections of the investigational imaging agent \[18F\]PI-2620: at a baseline PET imaging session and at a follow-up PET imaging session to evaluate the test-retest imaging characteristics. 5 NDC subjects will be required to complete the study arm.

    Drug: [18F]-PI2620

Interventions

  • Drug[18F]-PI2620

    \[18F\]PI-2620 is a radioactive diagnostic agent being developed for the indication of PET imaging of the brain to detect tau pathology in adult patients who are being evaluated for neurodegenerative decline. All patients will receive two administrations of \[18F\]PI-2620 at a radioactive dose of 185 megabecquerel (MBq).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Test-retest variability of the [18F]PI-2620 binding parameters in brain of patients with PSP-RS and non-demented controls

    Test-retest variability of \[18F\]PI-2620 accumulation will be analyzed using quantification

    Time frame: The duration of the study for participants may be up to 74 days

  2. Number of adverse events

    Safety will be evaluated by collection of Adverse Events.

    Time frame: The duration of the study for participants may be up to 74 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Compare quantification in terms if test-retest variability in PSP-RS and NDC

    Comparison of quantification in terms of test-retest variability in PSP and NDC. The ability of \[18F\]PI-2620 to discriminate between PSP-RS and NDC will be assessed.

    Time frame: The duration of the study for participants may be up to 74 days

  2. Correlate radioligand binding in PSP-RS with clinical scales

    Correlation of radioligand binding with clinical scales in PSP-RS will be analyzed

    Time frame: The duration of the study for participants may be up to 74 days
