About this study

Official title: Comparison of PET Images Acquired at 30 Min and 50 Min Post Injection of 18F-AV-45 in Healthy Volunteers and Alzheimer's Disease Patients

This study will re-read 10-minute positron emission tomography (PET) scans acquired in previous clinical studies of AV-45 at 30 and 50 minutes after injection and compare the results.

What participants receive

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

  • florbetapir F 18Drug

    Also called 18F-AV-45, Amyvid, florbetapir

    IV injection, 111 or 370MBq (3 or 10mCi), single dose

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Agreement of Interpretation Between 30-40 and 50-60 Min Reads - Qualitative Evaluation

    Three independent readers blinded to subject identification, subject diagnosis, subject demographics and PET scan time points post-injection read each scan and reported as amyloid positive or amyloid negative. Results show the percentage of agreement between the majority read of 30-40 min scan and the majority read of the 50-60 min scan.

    Measured: Scans acquired 30-40 min and 50-60 min after injection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Agreement of Interpretation Between 30-40 and 50-60 Min Reads - Semi-quantitative Evaluation

    Three independent readers blinded to subject identification, subject diagnosis, subject demographics and PET scan time points post-injection read each scan and reported the results using a 5-point scale (0=no amyloid; 4=high levels of amyloid deposition). Results are reported as a weighted kappa statistic.

    Measured: Scans acquired 30-40 min and 50-60 min post-injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing florbetapir F 18 in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by Avid Radiopharmaceuticals.

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 10 inclusion and 11 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 7 Jun 2012. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jun 2012). 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?

Percent Agreement of Interpretation Between 30-40 and 50-60 Min Reads - Qualitative Evaluation (time frame: Scans acquired 30-40 min and 50-60 min after injection). 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 Jun 2012.
