About this study

Official title: Evaluation of 123-I Iodobenzovesamicol (IBVM) and SPECT as a Marker of Acetylcholine Transporter Density in the Brain of Healthy Subjects and Patients With Alzheimer Disease

The underlying goal of this study is to assess 123-I IBVM SPECT imaging as a tool to assess cholinergic transporter binding in the brain of AD and PD research participants and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 25 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 25 patients Parkinson's disease and 20 healthy controls will be recruited to participate in this study.

AD patients will be eligible to participate if they have a diagnosis of AD based on NINCDS-ADRDA criteria.

PD patients will be eligible to participate if they have a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

Healthy controls will be evaluated to ensure that there is no evidence of neurodegenerative changes including cognitive decline.

All subjects will undergo written informed consent and a screening evaluation including baseline clinical laboratory testing, a physical and neurological evaluation and cognitive assessment.

Subjects will be asked to undergo an injection of 123-I IBVM followed by up to three approximately thirty minute SPECT scans during the next 24 hours.

Subjects may be asked to undergo a second imaging visit two-weeks to six months following the initial imaging visit to assess the reproducibility of the imaging outcome and/or the progressive change from baseline in 123-I IBVM binding.

The imaging analyses will be performed by an image-processing specialist who will remain masked to clinical diagnosis. The primary imaging outcome measure will be the brain regional distribution volumes expressed as a target region to cerebellar ratio.

What is being measured

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

  1. Does 123-I IBVM SPECT provide a quantitative measure of acetylcholinergic transporters in Healthy controls and AD patients?

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Does 123-I IBVM SPECT demonstrate reduced acetylcholinergic transporter binding in AD compared to healthy controls?

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Does 123-I IBVM SPECT provide a reliable measure of acetylcholinergic transporters in healthy controls and AD patients?

    Measured: 2 weeks to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing [123I]-IBVM in people with Alzheimer Disease and Parkinson Disease, run by Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 7 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Does 123-I IBVM SPECT provide a quantitative measure of acetylcholinergic transporters in Healthy controls and AD patients? (time frame: 24 hours). 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 7 May 2014.
