Trial Outcomes & Findings for PET Imaging of Brain Amyloid in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NCT NCT01053312)

NCT ID: NCT01053312

Last Updated: 2012-06-11

Results Overview

Radiotracers have enabled the in-vivo imaging of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain, one of the histopathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Standardized uptake value ratio SUVR)is the quantitive measure of specific tracer uptake, normalized for the non-specific mean uptake in a reference region. SUVR is calculated as SUV\_voi/SUV\_ref with SUV being the integrated activity over a given time period for the volume of interest (SUV\_voi) or reference region (SUV\_ref). VOI means volume of interest and REF means reference region.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Post-contrast administration

This was an amyloid level estimate measured by Immunohistochemistry assay to determine the percentage of plaque area for mAb NAB228. The Immuno-histo chemical reagent was monoclonal antibody (mAB) NAB228. This is a percentage of the area of the biopsy tissue specimen that stains positive for amyloid using NAB228.
