About this study

Official title: Investigating the Microstructural and Functional Alterations of Brain in Parkinson's Disease Patients With Neuropsychiatric Disorders by Multimodal Neuroimaging

The objective of this protocol is to investigate the microstructural alterations and monoaminergic function in Parkinson's disease patients with impulse control disorders and cognitive impairment by multimodal MRI and 18F-DTBZ PET imaging.

Read the detailed description

Study duration is expected to be completed in a period of 4 year. This study will compare the microstructural integrity by multimodal MRI imaging and monoaminergic function by18F- DTBZ PET in 35 PD patients without dementia/ICD (PD group), 35 patients with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI), 35 PD patients with dementia (PDD group), and 35 patients with impulse control disorders (PD-ICD group).

What participants receive

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

  • 18-FDTBZDrug

    During this study, participants will receive a single i.v. administration of approximately 370MBq (10 mCi) 18F- DTBZ immediately prior to imaging. The dosage of DTBZ is 10 nmole. The effective dose in human body is about 5.6 mSV.

    The proposed dose for this study is based on the investigators' phase I study. At the proposed human dose of 10 mCi, the whole body effective dose (ED) will be approximately 680 mrem. The estimated human ED is expected to be comparable to or below the range of other approved brain imaging agents, such as 18F-FDG (Lin 2010).

Study groups in NCT02599753
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
18F-DTBZ for Parkinson's DiseaseExperimentalThe participants qualify for the study will return to the clinic at a later date and will have catheter(s) placed for i.v. administration of 18F- DTBZ for injection. The participants will receive a single i.v. bolus of 18F- DTBZ, followed by brain PET imaging of 10 minutes duration, approximately 80 minutes post-dose injection. Vital signs will be obtained prior to and immediately after the administration of 18F- DTBZ, and at the completion of the imaging session. Adverse events will be continuously monitored during the imaging session. The participants experience any adverse event will not be discharged until the event has resolved or stabilized.
Receives: Drug: 18-FDTBZ

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference of specific uptake ratio (SUR) of 18F- DTBZ between each diagnostic group

    The SUVRs of 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ in ipsilateral caudate, anterior putamen, and bilateral nucleus accumbans were significantly lower in PDD group than those of PD group.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The difference of eigenvalues obtained from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) between each diagnostic group.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 18-FDTBZ in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 18 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 10 Oct 2018. 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 Taiwan. 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 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?

The difference of specific uptake ratio (SUR) of 18F- DTBZ between each diagnostic group (time frame: 4 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 10 Oct 2018.
