Trial summary

Data from subjects who had previously been dosed with Flutemetamol (18F) Injection and imaged in Study GE-067-007, and who died on or before 10 June 2013, will be analyzed. The PET brain images previously obtained in Study GE-067-007 will be interpreted visually in randomized by 5 independent readers who are blinded… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Re-Read Study to Compare the Brain Uptake of [18F]Flutemetamol With Brain Neuritic Plaque Density Determined Postmortem.

Data from subjects who had previously been dosed with Flutemetamol (18F) Injection and imaged in Study GE-067-007, and who died on or before 10 June 2013, will be analyzed. The PET brain images previously obtained in Study GE-067-007 will be interpreted visually in randomized by 5 independent readers who are blinded to all other subject information, and the images will be classified as abnormal (positive for abnormal neuritic plaque density) or normal (negative for abnormal neuritic plaque density). The numbers of images in each category will be used to calculate sensitivity and specificity.

Flutemetamol (18F)There are no interventions in this study. This study is to assess the images taken previously from another study, GE-067-007.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Abnormal Blinded Visual PET Image Interpretations.

    Blinded visual assessment of each subject's Flutemetamol (18F) Injection brain PET images as positive or negative will be performed by 5 independent blinded readers trained in the interpretation of [18F]flutemetamol PET images through an electronic training program.

    Measured: Brain images will be assessed up to 1 year post subject's death.

  2. Sensitivity Percentage of Blinded Visual PET Image Interpretations of Subjects With Abnormal Scans

    Blinded visual assessment of each subject's Flutemetamol (18F) Injection brain PET images as positive or negative will be performed by 5 independent blinded readers trained in the interpretation of [18F]flutemetamol PET images through an electronic training program.

    Measured: Brain images will be assessed up to 1 year post subject's death.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Blinded Visual PET Image Interpretations

    Specificity of blinded visual image interpretations according to neuropathological criteria.

    Measured: Brain images will be assessed up to 1 year post subject's death.

  2. Specificity Percentage of Blinded Visual PET Image Interpretations

    Specificity of blinded visual image interpretations according to neuropathological criteria, which is defined as the neuritic plaque density, neurofibriilary tangles and vasculpoathy in the brain.

    Measured: Brain images will be assessed up to 1 year post subject's death.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cognitive Impairment, run by GE Healthcare 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 27 Mar 2017. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Aug 2014). 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?

The Number of Abnormal Blinded Visual PET Image Interpretations. (time frame: Brain images will be assessed up to 1 year post subject's death.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02090855, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 27 Mar 2017.
