Trial summary

The study is designed to determine the diagnostic efficacy of the visual assessment of SPECT scans in differentiating between probable dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and non-DLB dementia subjects determined by the clinical diagnosis of an independent expert consensus panel used as the standard of truth.

  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects must be adults between 55 to 90 years of age with an established diagnosis for dementia in accordance with DSM-IV criteria and have to fulfil at least one of the following: The ICC criteria for probable and possible DLB, the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and Alzheimer Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) for Alzheimer's Disease (AD), or the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Association Internationale Pour la Recherche et l'Enseignement en Neurosciences (NINCS-AIREN) for Vascular Dementia (VaD).

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of DaTSCAN SPECT scans in differentiating between probable dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and non-DLB dementia subjects.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of DaTSCAN SPECT

  2. Semi-quantitative analysis of the striatal uptake ratios of DaTSCAN SPECT images.

  3. Impact of DaTSCAN SPECT analysis on the confidence of diagnosis.

  4. Findings in relation to probable, possible and no-DLB.

  5. Efficacy analysis at 12-month follow-up period.

  6. Safety profile

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DatSCAN in people with Lewy Body Dementia and Non-DLB Dementia, run by GE Healthcare at 1 site in Germany.

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 16 May 2007. 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 Germany. 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?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Sensitivity and specificity of DaTSCAN SPECT scans in differentiating between probable dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and non-DLB dementia subjects.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00209456, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 May 2007.
