About this study

Preclinical and clinical data have demonstrated the ability of the 11C-PIB tracer to selectively bind accumulations of amyloid protein, a neuropathological marker characteristic of the neurodegenerative pathologies covered by this study.

The validation in larger groups of patients, and the comparison between the different clinical syndromes included in the spectrum, will allow the diagnostic and prognostic potential of the tracer to be evaluated, with important consequences for the clinical management of patients.

In particular, the tracer could play a central role in the clinical management of patients with neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive impairment.

Numerous pharmacological trials are currently underway, worldwide, for the validation of anti-amyloid drugs. In the future we could think about early monitoring with imaging of the effectiveness of the treatment.

T he FDG PET technique can be of great help in obtaining relationships between radiation damage to the brain and possibly neurological and neuropsychological deficits associates.

What participants receive

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

  • PET/CT with 11C-PiBDiagnostic test

    Subjects considered suitable will undergo a clinical and neuropsychological evaluation and a PET/CT study with intravenous administration of 11C-PIB.

What is being measured

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

  1. PET/CT with 11C-PiB to characterize amyloid protein deposits in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

    Comparative evaluation of the accumulation of amyloid protein in the various neurodegenerative conditions included with attention to the specificity of the tracer as an element of differential diagnosis.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alzheimer 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 22 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?

PET/CT with 11C-PiB to characterize amyloid protein deposits in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. (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 22 Dec 2023.
