Trial summary

There is accumulating evidence suggesting that inflammatory processes, through microglial activation, would play a key role in brain injury and degeneration. It is considered that microglial activation would be part of self-propelling cycle of neuroinflammation that fuels Neurologic deterioration. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: In Vivo Assessment of Neuroinflammation With 18-FDPA714 PET/CT

There is accumulating evidence suggesting that inflammatory processes, through microglial activation, would play a key role in brain injury and degeneration. It is considered that microglial activation would be part of self-propelling cycle of neuroinflammation that fuels Neurologic deterioration. It is however hard to evidence microglial activation in vivo: first, the investigators need very high-resolution imaging tools and then, the only ligand available to date, 11C-PK11195, has a low sensitivity and specificity and provided heterogeneous results. 18F-DPA-714 is a new PET ligand which labels microglial cells. The investigators aim to explore the clinical feasibility used PET-CT with 18F-DPA714 to monitor microglial cells activation of brain in several different disease. This study might reveal significant neuroinflammatory process in the brain. The results of this study might provide a new biomarker of disease pathological progression and help as identifying subjects who might most benefit from a specific anti-inflammatory drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Standardized Uptake Value (SUV)

    Measures of specific binding of 18F-DPA-714 measures of specific binding of the tracer

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Microglial Cells Activation Imaging, run by Weibing Miao, PhD at 2 sites in China.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Nov 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact fu ying, PhD (13920263588 ext. 13920263588, fuying1995@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) (time frame: 2 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 23 Nov 2021.
