About this study

A total 40 PD subjects will be included in this study. PD subjects between 20 and 80 years of age may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history and physical examination, and blood test.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this protocol is to assess the rate of change in striatal 18F-DTBZ uptake in a cohort of Parkinson's disease patients.

This study is expected to be completed in a period of 4 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in 18F-DTBZ Uptake in a Cohort of Parkinson's Disease Patients From Baseline to Month 36

    To expand the database of 18F-DTBZ PET imaging in Parkinson's Disease patients to refine the definition of a positive scan in patient with PD.

    Measured: three years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To Determine the Test/Retest 18F-DTBZ PET Measurements of Vesicular Monoamine Transporter II Binding in PD Patients.

    The test/retest reliability will be estimated from a subgroup of the study subjects (10 subjects) who receive additional scan within 4 weeks since baseline image.

    In order to refine the definition of a positive 18F-DTBZ in patient with PD as compared to healthy control, quantitative measurement will be used. The standard uptake value (SUV) of each brain regions will be calculated. The SUV is a widely used, simple PET quantifier, calculated as a ratio of tissue radioactivity concentration (e.g. in units kBq/ml) at time t, CPET(t) and injected dose (e.g. in units MBq) at the time of injection divided by body weight (e.g. in units kg).SUV = CPET(t) / (Injected dose / Patient's weight), t =90min, and the unit of SUV is g/ml.

    Measured: three years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 18F-DTBZ AV-133 in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 7 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 15 Dec 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Dec 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in 18F-DTBZ Uptake in a Cohort of Parkinson's Disease Patients From Baseline to Month 36 (time frame: three 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 15 Dec 2017.
