About this study

Official title: Neuroinflammation and Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer Disease (AD) : Pilot Study of Translocator Proteins Ligand PET Imaging With [18F]DPA-714

The purpose of this study is to assess the level of neuroinflammation in Alzheimer Disease subject (mild to moderate) estimated with Binding Potential (BP) of [18F]DPA-714, and its relationship with the kinetics of cognitive decline over a 24-month follow-up period (as assessed by Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores).

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare the neuroinflammation measured by fixing and layout of [18F]DPA-714 between 3 groups of patients : subjects suffering from Alzheimer disease light to mild stage, amnesiac MCI and patients suffering from isolated cognitive complaint

    Measured: inclusion and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing ADAS-Cog evaluation in people with Alzheimer Disease, run by University Hospital, Tours at 3 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 15 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 14 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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?

Compare the neuroinflammation measured by fixing and layout of [18F]DPA-714 between 3 groups of patients : subjects suffering from Alzheimer disease light to mild stage, amnesiac MCI and patients suffering from isolated cognitive complaint (time frame: inclusion and 24 months). 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 NCT02377206, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 14 Sep 2022.
