Trial summary

123I-FP-CIT SPECT (DaTSCAN®) allows to detect presynaptic dopamine neuronal denervation. It is recommended to differentiate neurodegenerative parkinsonism from secondary parkinsonian syndromes or from essential tremor, and to distinguish patients with suspected dementia with Lewy bodies and those with other subtypes… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Relevance of 123 I-FP-CIT SPECT Prescriptions for the Diagnosis of Parkinsonian Syndromes

123I-FP-CIT SPECT (DaTSCAN®) allows to detect presynaptic dopamine neuronal denervation. It is recommended to differentiate neurodegenerative parkinsonism from secondary parkinsonian syndromes or from essential tremor, and to distinguish patients with suspected dementia with Lewy bodies and those with other subtypes of dementia. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the relevance of 123I-FP-CIT SPECT prescriptions, the profile of prescribers and the evolution of the prescription rate over a ten-year period.

Read the detailed description

the investigators included 723 patients in this retrospective study between February 2009 and May 2019, in the nuclear medicine Department of Avicenne University Hospital. No patients were excluded. Demographic, clinical, brain imaging, and 123I-FP-CIT SPECT data were collected from medical records. The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee (CLEA-2019-75).

Regarding the relevance of the indications, the investigators have defined three groups: " inappropriate ", "uncertain " and " relevant ", also respectively named (a), (b) and (c) groups.

In the "inappropriate" group (a), the investigators placed prescriptions with no indication, 123I-FP-CIT SPECT requested to confirm a PS clinically evident, and those prescribed for isolated cognitive-behavioral disturbances with no PS or differential diagnosis mentioned.

In the "uncertain" group (b), the investigators did not have sufficient data to determine with certainty whether this was an inappropriate or relevant indication.

In the "relevant" group (c), the prescriptions concerned the differential diagnosis between neurodegenerative parkinsonism and secondary parkinsonian syndromes (for instance post-neuroleptics) or other doubtful disorders (Alzheimer's disease, essential tremor), clinically uncertain PS (such as an isolated asymmetric resting tremor without akinesia or lead-pipe rigidity) and PD of atypical evolution.

Data were presented as mean (standard deviation) for numeric variables and as count (percentage) for categorical variables. To compare demographic, clinical and paraclinical data, and the distribution of prescribers between the three groups (i.e. inappropriate (a), uncertain (b) and relevant (c)), one-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for numerical variables and Fisher's exact test for categorical variables. To identify which groups differed from each other, post hoc comparisons were made using the Tukey test for numeric variables and the Fisher pairwise exact test followed by the Benjamini-Hochberg correction to account for multiple testing, for categorical variables. For all tests, the significance level was set at p < 0.05. All data were analyzed using R software (version 3.6.1, R Core Team).

Study groups in NCT05698784
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group a "inappropriate"In the "inappropriate" , we placed prescriptions with no indication, 123I-FP-CIT SPECT
Group b "uncertain"In the "uncertain", we did not have sufficient data to determine with certainty whether this was an inappropriate or relevant indication.
Group c "relevant"In the "relevant" , the prescriptions concerned the differential diagnosis between neurodegenerative parkinsonism and secondary parkinsonian syndromes

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the relevance of 123I-FP-CIT SPECT prescriptions

    Regarding the relevance of the indications, we have defined three groups: " inappropriate ", "uncertain " and " relevant ", also respectively named (a), (b) and (c) groups.

    To identify which groups differed from each other, post hoc comparisons were made using the Tukey test for numeric variables and the Fisher pairwise exact test followed by the Benjamini-Hochberg correction to account for multiple testing, for categorical variables. For all tests.

    Measured: February 2009 - May 2019

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 3 Feb 2023. 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 France. 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?

Evaluate the relevance of 123I-FP-CIT SPECT prescriptions (time frame: February 2009 - May 2019). 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 3 Feb 2023.
