About this study

The aims of this study are: 18F-THK5351 PET(Positron Emission Tomography) can defect the tau burden in PSP(Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) and CBS (Corticobasal syndrome)correlating with the known NFT(neurofibrillary tangles) topology of those diseases, 18F-THK5351 PET will differentiate subjects with suspected tauopathy due to PSP and CBS from subjects with suspected synucleinopathy due to idiopathic PD(Parkinson's disease). The distribution of PHF(paired helical filament) tau burden will correlate with specific motor and cognitive features of PSP and CBS; and regional PHF tau burden will be associated with cortical thinning. Together, these efforts will establish the potential for developing 18F-THK5351 PET imaging as a biomarker and diagnostic tool for the parkinsonian tauopathies.

What participants receive

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

  • F-18Drug

    Also called F-18 THK-5351, F-18 AV-45

    Totally 60 subjects age 20-80 including 20 subjects with a diagnosis of PD,PSP,and CBS. For disease subjects, caregiver should be able to report activities of daily living and their mental status. Patient should be able to give informed consent or have a caregiver give consent with subject assent.

What is being measured

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

  1. To establish Tau image pattern for Tauopathies with parkinsonism.

    Use ANOVA analysis(Analysis of variance) to significant differences in regional 18F-THK-5351 uptake between PSP, CBS and PD groups.

    Measured: YEAR ONE

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing F-18 in people with Parkinsonism, 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 12 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 27 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 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?

To establish Tau image pattern for Tauopathies with parkinsonism. (time frame: YEAR ONE). 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 27 Jan 2021.
