About this study

Official title: Detection of Striatal Dopaminergic Degeneration and Neocortical Amyloid Pathology in Patients With Dementia With Lewy Bodies, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Healthy Elderly Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability to identify individuals with dopaminergic degeneration in group of patients with a clinical diagnosis of either dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) or idiopathic Parkinson's disease and to differentiate them from Alzheimer's disease (AD) and control subjects.

Being tested
18F-AV-133, 18F-AV-45

What is being measured

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

  1. 18F-AV-133 striatal to occipital standard uptake value ratio

    The ratio of tracer activity in striatal target areas of interest relative to the occipital cortex reference region

    Measured: Four Weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 18F-AV-45 cortical to cerebellar standard uptake value ratio

    The ratio of tracer activity in cortical target areas of interest relative to the cerebellum reference region

    Measured: Four Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing 18F-AV-133 and 18F-AV-45 in people with Dementia With Lewy Bodies and Alzheimer's Disease, run by Avid Radiopharmaceuticals at 2 sites 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 15 inclusion and 3 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 14 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 combined 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.

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?

18F-AV-133 striatal to occipital standard uptake value ratio (time frame: Four Weeks). 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 14 Aug 2012.
