About this study

Official title: Evaluation of [18F] MK-9470 and PET as a Marker of Cannabinoid-1 Receptor Activity in Subjects With Parkinson Disease Compared With Healthy Controls

The purpose of this study is to assess MK-9470 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging as a tool to evaluate the activity of the CB-1 receptor in the brain.

Read the detailed description

The underlying goal of this study is to assess MK-9470 PET imaging as a tool to evaluate the activity of the CB-1 receptor in the brain of Parkinson's Disease (PD) research participants.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • [18F]MK-9470Drug

    Also called Parkinson Disease, Cannabinoid-1

    Subjects will be injected with 10 mCi, and not to exceed 11 mCi (not >10% of 10 mCi limit)of [18F]MK-9470, followed by PET imaging.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dynamic uptake and washout of [18F]MK-9470

    To assess the dynamic uptake and washout of [18F]-MK-9470 in brain using positron emission tomography (PET) in early Parkinson disease and advanced Parkinson disease with and without dyskinesia and similarly aged healthy control subjects as a potential imaging biomarker of the cannabionoid-1 (CB-1) receptor in brain.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To acquire safety data

    Safety will be assessed by the number of adverse events experienced by subjects and any clinically significant changes in laboratory tests or vital signs.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing [18F]MK-9470 in people with 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?

The sponsor lists 27 inclusion and 13 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 11 Nov 2013. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Dynamic uptake and washout of [18F]MK-9470 (time frame: Approximately 2 years). 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 11 Nov 2013.
