Trial Outcomes & Findings for Tau Imaging of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (NCT NCT02191267)

NCT ID: NCT02191267

Last Updated: 2018-05-17

Results Overview

Whole brain mean (and standard deviation) cortical value derived from standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr). Each \[F18\]-T807 tau scan consisted of a 60-minute dynamic acquisition after bolus intravenous injection of 10 mCi of \[18F\]-T807, followed by a second 20-minute dynamic imaging (list mode) acquisition from 80-100 minutes. SUVr images were constructed from the sum of the 80-100 minute frames resulting in late SUVr distribution maps.

Participant Flow

24 subjects at presumed risk for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), 6 healthy control subjects without a history of repetitive brain trauma, and 4 Alzheimer's Disease (AD) subjects were recruited from the Boston University Center for the study of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

Subjects were pre-assigned according to previously assigned study diagnostic status based on prior participation in studies at the Boston Center for the study of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 2 - of 2 day study.

Mean and standard deviation for standardized uptake value ratios (SUVr) for posterior cingulate, superior parietal, lateral frontal, medial frontal, lateral temporal, and occipital brain regions. Each \[F18\]-Florbetapir (Beta-Amyloid) scan consisted of a 70-minute dynamic acquisition after bolus intravenous injection of 10 mCi of \[18F\]-Florbetapir.
