  • Diagnosed with initial PD or parkinsonism;
  • signature of informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • patients < 18 years

About this study

The role of PET for the in vivo study of the presynaptic dopaminergic system with 11C-Fe-CIT is universally recognized, and its use has also become routine in numerous nuclear medicine centers in Europe. The indication for the examination is provided exclusively by the clinic in the presence of extrapyramidal signs in the suspicion of Parkinson's disease (PD) or for the differential diagnosis of parkinsonisms. The existence of factors that influence the prognosis of patients with PD or parkinsonism associated with other degenerative diseases is known.

Given these premises, the possibility of identifying the disease in the early stages appears fundamental.

For this purpose the following should be considered:

  1. an automatic analysis method based on the measurement of radiotracer uptake at the level of individual voxels, following Statistical Parametric Mapping procedures.
  2. the analysis based on regions of interest (ROIs) positioned ad hoc by the operator which will give the value of the ROI to reference region ratio. In particular, ROIs on the basal ganglia (caudate, putamen) towards cerebellum.

Both of these methods offer a quantitative measurement of the damage at the level of the structures involved that is absolutely better than the visual investigation of the distribution of radioactivity in the central nervous system.

In this study the investigators want to compare results provided by methods 1 and 2 in the populations under examination to evaluate the data relating to the specificity and sensitivity of the test.

What participants receive

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

  • PET with 11C-Fe-CITDiagnostic test

    Use of the PET11C-Fe_CIT method for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's and in the differential diagnosis between Parkinson's and parkinsonism.

What is being measured

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

  1. PET11C-Fe_CIT method for the staging of patients with Parkinson.

    All patients undergo to 11C Fe CIT PET examination and the data will be analyzed with ROI and SPM voxel based and correlated with neurological data.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by IRCCS San Raffaele.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

PET11C-Fe_CIT method for the staging of patients with Parkinson. (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 14 Dec 2023.
