About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study to Evaluate [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) as a Potential PET Radioligand for Imaging Alpha-synuclein Deposits in the Brain of Patients With Suspected Alpha-synuclein Pathology Compared With Healthy Volunteers

The overall goal of this protocol is to evaluate [18F]MNI-1216 (also known as [18F]ACI-12589) as an α-synuclein targeted radiopharmaceutical in 3 parts as follows:

  • Part 1: first in human (FiH) imaging
  • Optional Part 2: expansion of FiH imaging
  • Optional Part 3: retest imaging

A total of up to 30 participants may be enrolled and participate in the study. Part 1 of the study will include up to 10 participants (target of up to 5 healthy volunteers and up to 5 participants with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease). There will be an ongoing review of study data in Part 1 to evaluate the characteristics of tracer binding and safety. If the study results are deemed adequate in Part 1, Part 2 and/or Part 3 may be initiated. The decision to initiate Part 3 may also include a review of data from Part 2, if Part 2 is performed and the data are available. If performed, Part 2 will include up to 20 participants, including health volunteers and participants with α-synucleinopathies to acquire additional tracer-related data. If performed, Part 3 will include up to 10 participants from in Part 1 and/or Part 2 (including health volunteers and participants with α-synucleinopathies) to evaluate the reliability of [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging.

Read the detailed description

The overall goal of this protocol is to evaluate [18F]MNI-1216 (also known as [18F]ACI-12589) as an α-synuclein targeted radiopharmaceutical in 3 parts.

The specific objective for Parts 1, 2, and 3 is:

  • To characterize [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) as a PET radioligand for imaging α-synuclein pathology.

The additional specific objectives for Part 1 and Part 2 are:

  • To visually and quantitatively assess brain uptake and pharmacokinetics of [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) as a PET imaging marker for α-synuclein pathology in individuals with α-synucleinopathies (including idiopathic PD) compared with corresponding data from healthy volunteer participants.
  • To evaluate the safety of a single injection of [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589).

The additional specific objectives for Part 3 are:

  • To evaluate the reliability (test/retest) of [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) parameters in individuals with α-synucleinopathies and healthy volunteers.
  • To evaluate the safety of up to 2 injections of [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589).

For each subject participating in the study, the duration of study participation will be up to 78 days.

In Part 1 and Part 2 (if Part 2 is performed), screening assessments will occur within 30 days prior to the Baseline [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) Imaging Visit (Day 1). If determined to be necessary by the study team, subjects may participate in an [18F]Florbetapir Imaging Visit up to 6 weeks following Day 1 (will be completed between Day 2 and Day 42). A Safety Phone Call for adverse event assessment will occur 4 days (±2 days) following each imaging visit performed. In Part 3 (if performed), subjects will participate in a Retest [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) Imaging Visit between Day 4 and Day 29 (within 3 days to 4 weeks) following the Baseline [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) Imaging Visit (Day 1). A Safety Phone Call for adverse event assessment will occur 4 days (±2 days) following the retest imaging visit, if performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Volume of distribution (VT) of [18F]MNI-1216 across multiple brain regions

    Volume of distribution (VT) across multiple brain regions will be measured and comparison between participants with α-synucleinopathies and healthy volunteers will be performed to visually and quantitatively assess brain uptake and pharmacokinetics of [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589) as a PET imaging marker for α-synuclein pathology in individuals with α-synucleinopathies.

    Measured: up to 78 days

  2. Number of participants with [18F]MNI-1216-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE

    Participants will be monitored to evaluate the safety of a single injection of [18F]MNI-1216 ([18F]ACI-12589). The following assessments will be performed to monitor participants for adverse reactions:

    • Clinical laboratory tests.
    • Vital signs.
    • Physical findings.
    • Electrocardiograms

    Measured: up to 78 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing [18F]MNI-1216 in people with Alpha-Synucleinopathy and Parkinson's Disease, run by Invicro at 1 site in United States.

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 29 inclusion and 16 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 19 Feb 2025. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Volume of distribution (VT) of [18F]MNI-1216 across multiple brain regions (time frame: up to 78 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Feb 2025.
