Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of [18F]Florbetapir PET for Assessment in MS Patients (NCT NCT01767493)

NCT ID: NCT01767493

Last Updated: 2021-08-30

Results Overview

This study demonstrates the feasibility of\[18F\]Florbetapir PET for identifying demyelinating lesions in relapsing-remitting MS patients. It was expected that lesion size played a factor in identifying white matter lesions with those smaller than 5 mm less evident on PET. Using spherical volumes of interest the extent of reduction in the white matter uptake can be reliably quantified. This requires careful attention to techniques for sampling in both the lesions and white matter control regions for the subject.
