About this study

The study purpose is to determine the clinical values of 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ in the diagnosis of Parkinsonism in patients with carbon monoxide intoxication, regional distribution and its correlation with clinical parameters. This study is expected to be completed in a period of 3 years.

Read the detailed description

With the urbanization of Taiwanese society, there are increasing numbers of people committing suicide by charcoal burning, making carbon monoxide (CO) encephalopathy a new pandemic phenomenon. In CO related parkinsonism, the clinical features included gait disturbances, mask face, rigidities and small steps. From literature searches, the CO related parkinsonism is related to white matter damages or decline in dopamine innervations. From our previous research results, the CO related neuronal damages would started from reversible or progressive white matter demyelination. For some patients, axonopathy or gray matter atrophy developed and became irreversible. The neuronal networks in determining development of Parkinsonism required to be established.

In terms of neurotransmitter, most of the clinical data for Parkinsonism came from studies of idiopathic Parkinson's disease while the data of CO related Parkinsonism were limited to case reports. From neuropathology studies in idiopathic Parkinson's disease, dopamine deficits and decreased in monoamine transporters were observed well before the development of clinical features. Although there is linkage between CO related Parkinsonism and dopamine deficits, patients with CO intoxication had poor response to levodopa. The observation suggested the critical networks and neurotransmitters were still not well understood.

18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ is a newly developed nuclear medicine tracer for monoamine transporter. The study purpose is to determine the clinical values of 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ in the diagnosis of Parkinsonism in patients with carbon monoxide intoxication, regional distribution and its correlation with clinical parameters. This is a three-year prospective research. For each patient, the PET will be arranged twice, with an interval of 18 months. The regional distribuation of 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ in relation to Parkinsonism severity and regional reduction patterns longitudially will be assessed in order to understand the regional neurotoxicity and the functional progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess the regional decline in 18F-DTBZ uptake of Parkinsonism after carbon monoxide intoxication

    This study will assess the brain uptake and distribution of 18F-DTBZ in 25 carbon monoxide intoxication patients with Parkinsonism. For each patient, the PET will be arranged twice, with an interval of 1.5 years.

    Measured: up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ in people with Carbon Monoxide-induced Parkinsonism, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 4 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 1 Jun 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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?

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?

Assess the regional decline in 18F-DTBZ uptake of Parkinsonism after carbon monoxide intoxication (time frame: up to 3 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 1 Jun 2016.
