About this study

Official title: Dynamic SPECT Imaging With [123I]ß-CIT in Patients With Parkinsonism

This study assesses dopamine transporter density using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) brain imaging with an investigational radiopharmaceutical, [123I]ß-CIT, in research participants with Parkinson's disease.

Read the detailed description

The brain imaging is conducted at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders in New Haven, Connecticut. The imaging procedure occurs over a two day period.

After a screening visit, including review of the potential subject's neurological history and a thorough neurologic exam, subjects are injected with [123I]ß CIT, an investigational radioactive material that localizes in the brain.

Twenty-four hours later study participants return to the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders where an investigational scanning procedure is used to obtain SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) images of the brain.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CIT uptake: measurement of dopamine transporter density compared with the clinical severity of illness

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Measurement of variability of strital uptake of [123I]ß-CIT when more than one scan has occurred

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing [123I]ß-CIT and SPECT imaging in people with Parkinson's Disease and Parkinsonian Syndrome, run by Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CIT uptake: measurement of dopamine transporter density compared with the clinical severity of illness. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Apr 2019.
