Trial Outcomes & Findings for Monoamine Contributions to Neurocircuitry in Eating Disorders (NCT NCT02020408)

NCT ID: NCT02020408

Last Updated: 2020-04-27

Results Overview

Use PET and \[11C\]DASB to explore 5-HTT receptor binding potential midbrain and striatal regions of interest in eating disorder subtypes. The Binding Potential (BP) was calculated as BP Non Displaceable (ND) = (VT/VND) -1. \[VT = distribution volume in tissue; VND = non-displaceable distribution volume\]. The binding of the 5-HTT on PET presumably reflects 5-HTT density and/or affinity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 min PET scan

Population: Due to technical problems and temporary closure of the PET Facility during the study and consequent lack of time and funding for additional scanning, we were unable to recruit a sufficient number of women recovered from bulimia nervosa (BN) for the AMPHETAMINE CHALLENGE STUDY and therefore no data for this outcome measure were collected in REC BN.

Use PET and \[11C\]raclopride to explore Dopamine D2/D3 receptor binding potential (BPND) in striatal regions of interest in eating disorder subtypes after amphetamine administration. The Binding Potential (BP) was calculated as BP Non Displaceable (ND) = (VT/VND) -1. \[VT = distribution volume in tissue; VND = non-displaceable distribution volume\].
