About this study

Official title: Validation of DaTscan for Detection of Parkinsonian Disease and Related Disorders Using Neuropathologically-confirmed Parkinson Disease From Human Brain Tissue

This investigator initiated trial is designed to measure the accuracy of diagnosis of Parkinson disease through the use of DaTscan. Currently, DaTscan is FDA approved to measure dopamine transporter densities in human tissue. This measurement can assist in distinguishing between Essential Tremor and Parkinsonian Syndromes (idiopathic Parkinson disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Multi Systems Atrophy, etc). This study will compare both clinical diagnosis of symptoms and the results of the scan to the pathological diagnosis received at time of death. Patients will be registered in the Parkinson Research Institute's brain donation program, receive a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson disease, have their brain scanned using DaTscan, and donate their tissue for research and autopsy purposes. The hypothesis of the study is that DaTscan will diagnosis Idiopathic Parkinson Disease as accurately as a clinician.

What is being measured

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

  1. Consistency Between Diagnostic Procedures

    Consistency of diagnosis between: (1) clinical diagnosis, (2) scan results, and (3) pathological results.

    Measured: Will be assessed upon receipt of autopsy report- time frame per patient is 24 months from enrollment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and Movement Disorders, run by Wisconsin Institute for Neurologic and Sleep Disorders S.C. at 2 sites 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 3 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Consistency Between Diagnostic Procedures (time frame: Will be assessed upon receipt of autopsy report- time frame per patient is 24 months from enrollment.). 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 16 Jul 2014.
