Trial summary

This project will collect quantitative pilot data that will allow the characterization of uptake and binding of 18F-AV-1451 (also known as F 18 T807, also known as T807, also known as 7-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole), a novel tau imaging compound, in older HIV+ individuals with and without HAND and… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: 40 HIV+ and 40 HIV- participants will be enrolled.

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female participants, ≥ 40 years of age.
  • Testing for HIV status. If positive will be included in the HIV+ group and if negative will be included in the HIV- group.
  • Females without documented history of menopause or hysterectomy will undergo a urine pregnancy test 24 hours prior to F 18 T807 drug administration.

Who cannot join

  • Has any condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, could increase risk to the participant, limit the participant's ability to tolerate the experimental procedures, or interfere with the collection/analysis of the data (for example, participants with severe chronic back pain might not be able to lie still during the scanning procedures).
  • Is deemed likely unable to perform the imaging procedures for any reason.
  • Has a high risk for Torsades de Pointes or is taking medications known to prolong QT interval.
  • Has hypersensitivity to F 18 T807 or any of its excipients.
  • Contraindications to PET, PET-CT or MR (e.g. electronic medical devices, inability to lie still for long periods) that make it unsafe for the individual to participate.
  • Severe claustrophobia.
  • Currently pregnant or breast-feeding.

About this study

Official title: F 18 T807 Tau PET Imaging of Older (>= 40 Years Old) HIV Infected (HIV+) and HIV Uninfected (HIV-) Individuals (IND 123119, Protocol G)

This project will collect quantitative pilot data that will allow the characterization of uptake and binding of 18F-AV-1451 (also known as F 18 T807, also known as T807, also known as 7-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole), a novel tau imaging compound, in older HIV+ individuals with and without HAND and matched HIV uninfected (HIV-) controls. The primary goal is to develop this highly promising tau imaging technique as an biomarker of cognitive decline in HIV+ individuals. The investigators will obtain preliminary data that will support the possibility of detecting early brain pathological changes due to HIV. Data generated from this study will be used for submission of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants comparing tau deposition in HAND compared to other neurodegenerative disorders. It is hypothesized that specific topographies will help distinguish these neurodegenerative disorders in older individuals.

Read the detailed description

This protocol will demonstrate the presence of tau fibrils in older HIV+ patients with HIV associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) compared to cognitively normal HIV+ individuals and HIV- controls.

It will also demonstrate that the phenoconversion from cognitively normal (CN) status to HAND will be closely correlated with neocortical F 18 T807 uptake. In particular, HIV+ patients with MND will have greater tau cortical deposition compared to ANI individuals.

The investigtors hypothesize that in vivo tau imaging will ultimately:

  • Demonstrate the presence of tau fibrils in older HIV+ patients with HIV associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) compared to cognitively normal HIV+ individuals and HIV- controls.
  • Demonstrate that the phenoconversion from cognitively normal (CN) status to HAND will be closely correlated with neocortical F 18 T807 uptake. In particular, HIV+ patients with MND will have greater tau cortical deposition compared to ANI individuals.

What participants receive

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

  • F 18 T807Drug

    Also called 18F-AV-1451

    Participants will receive a single intravenous bolus injection of approximately 6.5-10mCi (240-370MBq) of F 18 T807. For those who cannot tolerate the full exam, participants will receive single intravenous bolus injection of approximately 6.5-10mCi (240-370MBq) of F 18 T807.

Individual data sharing
Yes: As part of this study, we are obtaining data from the participant. We would like to use this data' for studies going on right now as well as studies that are conducted in the future. These studies may provide additional information that will be helpful in understanding cognitive impairment, or other diseases or conditions, including research to develop investigational tests, treatments, drugs or devices that are not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is unlikely that what we learn from these studies will have a direct benefit to the participant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alzheimer Disease and HIV, run by Tammie L. S. Benzinger, MD, PhD 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 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 22 Sep 2020. 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?

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?

Perform human in vivo tau imaging using F 18 T807 in 30 older (≥ 40 years old) HIV+ participants and 30 HIV- controls. (time frame: 5 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 22 Sep 2020.
