Who cannot join

  • The subject is participating in another interventional study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Florbetaben as an Amyloid Plaque Marker in Elderly Patients With Focal or Disseminated Superficial Hemosiderosis

The main objective of this study is to compare the distribution of Florbetaben (NEURACEQ: FBB) in the brain in amyloid cerebral angiopathy (ACA) manifested by isolated hemosiderosis in non-demented patients with that observed in healthy subjects, patients with ACA and with lobar hematoma(s) and patients with Alzheimer's dementia without MRI signs in favor of ACA.

Read the detailed description

The secondary objectives of this study are to compare among groups:

  1. The associated micro-bleeds. B. Associated leukoencephalopathy. C. Contrast observed in lobar Virchow-Robin perivascular spaces. D. Apolipoprotein E genotypes.
Being tested
Pet scan with FBB, MRI scan, APO E genotyping
Medical subject headings
Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Alzheimer Disease

What participants receive

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

  • Pet scan with FBBDevice

    Patients will have a pet scan with Florbetaben (NEURACEQ : FBB). All other care corresponds to routine care.

    Florbetaben is used during pet scans to visualize beta amyloid plaques and cannot be a separate intervention in and of itself.

  • MRI scanDevice

    Subjects will have an MRI scan at inclusion.

  • APO E genotypingBiological

    Subjects will have APO (apolipoprotein) E genotyping if not already known.

What is being measured

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

  1. PET scan with Florbetaben: Standardized Uptake Value Ratio

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. On the reference MRI: the number of lobar hemorrhages

    Measured: Day 0

  2. On the reference MRI: the locations of lobar hemorrhages

    Location is defined as choices from among the following: frontal-right; frontal-left; parietal-right; parietal-left; occipital-right; occipital-left; temporal-right; temporal-left.

    Measured: Day 0

  3. On the reference MRI: The presence/absence classification for superficial siderosis

    The classification corresponds to one of the following: absence; focal (involving < 4 sulci); disseminated (involving 4 or more sulci).

    Measured: Day 0

  4. On the reference MRI: the locations of superficial siderosis

    Location is defined as choices from among the following: frontal-right; frontal-left; parietal-right; parietal-left; occipital-right; occipital-left; temporal-right; temporal-left.

    Measured: Day 0

  5. On the reference MRI: the absolute quantitative count of microbleeds

    Measured: Day 0

  6. On the reference MRI: microbleed count category

    The microbleed count category corresponds to one of the following: 0, 1, 2-4, >4.

    Measured: Day 0

  7. On the reference MRI: The predominant location of microbleeds

    Measured: Day 0

  8. On the reference MRI: a measure of leukoencephalopathy using the ARWMC scale

    The age-related white matter changes (ARWMC) rating scale rating only the supratentorial white matter for each frontal, parieto-occipital, and temporal localisation: 0 for no lesions, 1 for focal lesions, 2 for beginning confluence of lesions, and 3 for diffuse involvement of the entire region

    Measured: Day 0

  9. Apolipoprotein E genotype

    Everyone has two copies of the gene so the resulting combination determines your APOE "genotype" as one of the following: E2/E2, E2/E3, E2/E4, E3/E3, E3/E4, or E4/E4.

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pet scan with FBB, MRI scan and APO E genotyping in people with Amyloid Cerebral Angiopathy and Alzheimer Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes at 2 sites in France.

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 29 inclusion and 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

PET scan with Florbetaben: Standardized Uptake Value Ratio (time frame: Day 0). 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 25 Jan 2021.
