Trial Outcomes & Findings for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Amyloid Imaging of the Brain in Healthy Young Adult Subjects (NCT NCT01265394)

NCT ID: NCT01265394

Last Updated: 2013-07-02

Results Overview

The visual assessment of Flutemetamol PET image was performed by independent readers trained in the evaluation of PET brain amyloid imaging. The measure would consisted of the number of brain scans with amyloid (abnormal reading) or without amyloid (normal reading).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: PET scans performed on patients 90 minutes post Flutemetmol Administration

Population: Healthy young adult subjects aged 18 to 40 are presumed to be amyloid negative

The visual assessment of Flutemetamol PET image was performed by independent readers trained in the evaluation of PET brain amyloid imaging. The measure would consisted of the number of brain scans with amyloid (abnormal reading) or without amyloid (normal reading).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: PET scans performed on patients 90 minutes post Flutemetmol Administration

Population: The Standard Uptake Value Ratio is calculated for two regions of the brain, the Cerebullum and the Pons regions. Both regions of the brain will provide the SUVR measurements.

Is the computerized measurement of amyloid content in different parts of the brain. The Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVR) is defined as an average of frontal, anterior cingulate, pariteal, lateral-temporal and posterior cingulate / precuneous uptake following administration of Flutemetamol F18 Injection. The Standard Uptake Value Ratio is calculated for two regions of the brain, the Cerebullum and the Pons regions.
