Study 18F-AV-45-010 is designed to evaluate the cerebral uptake of florbetapir 18F as measured by PET imaging in frontotemporal disorder (FTD) in comparison to cognitively normal volunteers and subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • florbetapir 18FDrug

    Also called Florbetapir F 18, 18F-AV-45, Amyvid

    Subjects received a one-time intravenous (IV) bolus injection of 300 megabecquerels (MBq) florbetapir 18F.

  • 18F-FDGDrug

    Also called FDG, fluorodeoxyglucose (18F), fludeoxyglucose (18F)

    FTD subjects received a one-time IV bolus injection of 185 MBq of 18F-FDG.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Frontotemporal DisorderExperimentalSubjects with frontotemporal disorder (FTD) received a one-time intravenous (IV) bolus injection of 300 megabecquerels (MBq) florbetapir 18F and a one-time IV bolus injection of 185 MBq of 18F-FDG.
Receives: Drug: florbetapir 18F; Drug: 18F-FDG
Cognitively NormalExperimentalCognitively normal (CN) subjects received a one-time intravenous (IV) bolus injection of 300 megabecquerels (MBq) florbetapir 18F.
Receives: Drug: florbetapir 18F
Alzheimer's DiseaseExperimentalSubjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD) received a one-time intravenous (IV) bolus injection of 300 megabecquerels (MBq) florbetapir 18F.
Receives: Drug: florbetapir 18F

What is being measured

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

  1. Qualitative Amyloid Image Assessment

    Four readers blinded to all clinical information classified florbetapir Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images as either positive for amyloid or negative for amyloid. The majority read classification is presented as either positive, negative or tied.

    Measured: 50-60 min after injection

  2. Quantitative Amyloid Image Assessment

    The effect of diagnostic group on mean total cortical grey matter florbetapir binding relative to cerebellar cortex is presented as standard uptake value ratios (SUVr).

    Measured: 50-60 minutes after injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing florbetapir 18F and 18F-FDG in people with Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia, run by Avid Radiopharmaceuticals at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 13 inclusion and 8 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 29 Sep 2014. 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 Kingdom. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Sep 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Qualitative Amyloid Image Assessment (time frame: 50-60 min after injection). 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 29 Sep 2014.
