Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Flortaucipir PET in Healthy Volunteers and Cognitively Impaired Subjects (NCT NCT01992380)

NCT ID: NCT01992380

Last Updated: 2020-09-07

Results Overview

Evaluate test-retest reproducibility of flortaucipir for brain imaging of tau in healthy volunteers and subjects with cognitive impairment. Standard uptake value ratios (SUVRs) for each scan, normalized to the cerebellar crus. A combination volume of interest (VOI) = weighted average of parietal, temporal, and occipital regions was used. The protocol pre-specified that test-retest endpoint was to be calculated for the combined group of healthy volunteers and cognitively impaired subjects

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 80-100 minutes postdose

Population: All subjects with a valid test and re-test scan. The 80-100 minute scan was not done for one subject in the healthy volunteer group due to technical difficulties with the scanning apparatus

Evaluate test-retest reproducibility of flortaucipir for brain imaging of tau in healthy volunteers and subjects with cognitive impairment. Standard uptake value ratios (SUVRs) for each scan, normalized to the cerebellar crus. A combination volume of interest (VOI) = weighted average of parietal, temporal, and occipital regions was used. The protocol pre-specified that test-retest endpoint was to be calculated for the combined group of healthy volunteers and cognitively impaired subjects
