About this study

The study will enroll 20 PSP and 8 normal subjects with complete neurological examination, 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) PET and MRI assessment. To explore: (1) whether 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) can detect the 4R tau protein in the brain of PSP patients; (2) whether 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) can distinguish the clinical characteristics of PSP; (3) Whether the distribution of tau deposition is related to disease severity, progression, and prognosis.

Read the detailed description

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), also known as Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome, has a similar incidence in men and women. The pathophysiology of PSP is remaining unclear, but it is known to be related to the abnormal accumulation of 4R tau protein in the brain. Recently, new generation of novel radiotracer 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607), which can be labeled with 4R PHF-tau without significant off-target binding, has been successfully developed. The study will enroll 20 PSP and 8 normal subjects with complete neurological examination, 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) PET and MRI assessment. To explore: (1) whether 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) can detect the 4R tau protein in the brain of PSP patients; (2) whether 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) can distinguish the clinical characteristics of PSP; (3) Whether the distribution of tau deposition is related to disease severity, progression, and prognosis. The research results will help to understand the potential of 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) as a biomarker for diagnosis and therapeutic assessment tool for progressive nuclear paralysis as well as other tau proteinopathy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 9 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 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.

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 Kun-Ju Lin, MD PhD (886-3-3281200 ext. 2625, kunjulin@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tau Distribution Among Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), and Normal Subjects (time frame: 5 days). 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 9 Sep 2020.
