About this study

Official title: A Study to Evaluate the Improvement in Reader Accuracy When Using a Read Method That Incorporates Commercially Available Quantitative Analysis Software as an Adjunct to the Clinical Visual Interpretation of Amyvid Brain Scans

This study will evaluate whether the addition of quantitation as an adjunct to visual interpretations significantly improves the accuracy of Amyvid scan interpretation.

Being tested
Florbetapir (18F)
Medical subject headings
Alzheimer Disease

What participants receive

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

  • Florbetapir (18F)Drug

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

    No Florbetapir (18F) will be administered in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Reader Accuracy After Application of Quantitation Software

    Evaluate whether the use of quantitation software improves florbetapir (18F) scan interpretation by using the net reclassification index (NRI). The NRI is a prospective measure that quantifies the correctness of upward and downward reclassification or movement of predicted probabilities as a result of adding a new marker. NRI Values >0 indicate an improvement in scan interpretation accuracy and values <0 indicate a decline in scan interpretation accuracy after application of quantitation software.

    NRI = [P(up,event)-P(down,event)]-[P(up,nonevent)-P(down,nonevent)] Where P(up,event) = # events up/# events P(down,event) = # events down/# events P(up,nonevent) = # nonevents up/# nonevents P(down,nonevent) = # nonevents down/# nonevents and events: true positive case nonevents: true negative case up: scan change from negative to positive down: scan change from positive to negative

    Only the 46 scans with autopsy from A16 are used for this outcome measure.

    Measured: Scan acquired 50-60 minutes post injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Florbetapir (18F) in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by Avid Radiopharmaceuticals at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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 9 Jul 2015. 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 Netherlands. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 9 Jul 2015). 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 Reader Accuracy After Application of Quantitation Software (time frame: Scan acquired 50-60 minutes post 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 9 Jul 2015.
