Trial Outcomes & Findings for Imaging Tau in Alzheimer's Disease and Normal Aging (NCT NCT02884492)

NCT ID: NCT02884492

Last Updated: 2018-11-19

Results Overview

The standardize uptake value ratio is the concentration of radioactivity measured from the 18F-THK-5351 PET scan in the posterior cingulate gyrus, divided by that in the cerebellar gray matter (the reference region, which is expected to be devoid of tau pathology). This ratio is a relative measure of 18F-THK-5351 binding, and therefore of tau pathology, in brain tissue. PET image data was acquired from 50 min post-injection to 70 min post-injection of 18F-THK-5351.

Measure
Cognitive Impairment
Adults with Alzheimer's disease, preclinical Alzheimer's disease or impairment due to suspected non-Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology will receive 18F-THK- 5351 and/or lumbar puncture (optional). 18F-THK-5351: 18F-THK-5351 is a PET radioligand that binds abnormal tangles made of the protein tau. These tau tangles develop in the brain in people with Alzheimer's disease. Lumbar Puncture (optional): Subjects have the option to have lumbar puncture performed for the measurement of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid.
No Cognitive Impairment
Normal aging adults will receive 18F-THK- 5351 and/or lumbar puncture (optional). 18F-THK-5351: 18F-THK-5351 is a PET radioligand that binds abnormal tangles made of the protein tau. These tau tangles develop in the brain in people with Alzheimer's disease.
