About this study

Official title: Evaluation of [18F]MNI-1126 as an Imaging Marker for Synaptic Density Loss in the Brain of Patients With Probable Alzheimer's Disease, Probable Parkinson's Disease (PD) Subjects as Compared to Healthy Volunteers (HV).

The primary objective of this protocol is to examine [18F]MNI-1126 as a tool to assess synaptic density loss.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this protocol is to examine [18F]MNI-1126 as a tool to assess synaptic density loss.The specific objectives are:

  • Examine [18F]MNI-1126 as a tool to assess synaptic density loss.
  • To measure the dynamic uptake and washout of [18F]MNI-1126 in the brain using positron emission tomography (PET) in subjects with AD, PD, and healthy volunteers.
  • To measure blood metabolites of [18F]MNI-1126 and perform kinetic modeling to assess its ability to measure synaptic density loss in the brain using the tracer plasma concentration or a reference region as indirect input.
  • To acquire safety data following injection of [18F]MNI-1126.

What participants receive

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

  • [18F]MNI-1126Drug

    Florbetapir PET imaging will be completed in all healthy volunteers and AD subjects as part of the screening procedures.

    DaTscan SPECT imaging will be completed in those PDsubjects who have not previously had DaTscan imaging as part of the screening procedures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Regions in the VOI template will be used to quantify the regional tracer uptake and used for comparison of potential uptake differences across the different groups.

    Descriptive statistics will be applied to describe the tau deposition by region as measured by [18F]MNI-1126.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing [18F]MNI-1126 in people with Alzheimer Disease and Parkinson Disease, run by Invicro 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 28 inclusion and 13 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 15 Apr 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Regions in the VOI template will be used to quantify the regional tracer uptake and used for comparison of potential uptake differences across the different groups. (time frame: 1 year). 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 15 Apr 2020.
