Trial summary

Dementia is a common neurodegenerative syndrome in aged population. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common disease. The main pathological findings in AD include senile plaques (SP) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The b-amyloid is the main peptide in SP and tau protein is the main finding in NFT.

About this study

Dementia is a common neurodegenerative syndrome in aged population. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common disease. The main pathological findings in AD include senile plaques (SP) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The b-amyloid is the main peptide in SP and tau protein is the main finding in NFT. In addition, b-amyloid is considered as a disease biomarker, but the severity of AD is related with the tau protein.

Recently a new tracer 18F-PM-PBB3 has been introduced in tau PET images. In a prelimary study with the 18F-PM-PBB3, the tau PET scan provide a good tool to evaluate tau deposition pattern among healthy volunteers, and patients with mild and moderate dementia due to AD. In this study we will enroll 20 healthy controls, 20 amnestic mild cognitive impairment patients (aMCI), 20 mild-moderate dementia due to AD patients and 10 other dementia such as frontotemporal dementia patients. All of the subjects will receive 18F-PM-PBB3 tau PET scan, and 18F-flobetapir (AV-45) amyloid PET scan, brain magnetic resonance images and clinical evaluation. We will follow up the clinical features for 2 years to understand the disease progression, disease conversion from aMCI to AD.

The study aims to investigate the deposition patterns of tau protein with 18F-PM-PBB3 and amyloid protein with 18F-flobetapir in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment due to AD, mild to moderate degree of dementia due to AD and healthy controls. The study will provide the information of these two proteins in different stages of dementia patients. The results may help the strategy in selection of anti-dementia drugs in the pharmaceutical company and industry and reduce the economic burden for the society. The study also can improve the understanding of Alzheimer's disease in academic research.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing F-18 PMPBB3 and 18F-florbetapir in people with Alzheimer's Disease, 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 19 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2020. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chin-Chang Huang, MD (03-3281200 ext. 8420, cch0537@cgmh.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tau Distribution (time frame: 1 YEAR). 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 12 Mar 2020.
