Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Reader Study to Assess Accuracy and Reliability of Flortaucipir F 18 Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan Interpretation (NCT NCT03901092)

NCT ID: NCT03901092

Last Updated: 2020-09-09

Results Overview

Sensitivity and specificity of 5 independent readers' interpretations of ante-mortem 18F-AV-1451 PET imaging for detection of a pattern of 18F-AV-1451 neocortical uptake that corresponds to neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) Score of B3 (Hyman et al., 2012; Montine et al., 2012). NFT B scores range from B0 (no NFTs in the brain) to B3 (widespread NFTs in the brain). Sensitivity and specificity are percentages that can range from 0 to 100%. The hypothesis tested was that, of the 5 independent imaging physicians, at least 3 will have the lower bounds of 2-sided 95% CIs ≥50%, for both sensitivity and specificity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline scan

Population: Analysis included all autopsy subjects with an evaluable flortaucipir PET scan interpretation (n=82). One autopsy subject scan was rated as unevaluable. n=47 were truth positive for NFTs. n=35 were truth negative for NFTs.

Sensitivity and specificity of 5 independent readers' interpretations of ante-mortem 18F-AV-1451 PET imaging for detection of a pattern of 18F-AV-1451 neocortical uptake that corresponds to neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) Score of B3 (Hyman et al., 2012; Montine et al., 2012). NFT B scores range from B0 (no NFTs in the brain) to B3 (widespread NFTs in the brain). Sensitivity and specificity are percentages that can range from 0 to 100%. The hypothesis tested was that, of the 5 independent imaging physicians, at least 3 will have the lower bounds of 2-sided 95% CIs ≥50%, for both sensitivity and specificity.

Timeframe: baseline scan

Population: Analysis included all autopsy subjects with an evaluable flortaucipir PET scan interpretation (n=82). One autopsy subject scan was rated as unevaluable. n=41 were truth positive. n=41 were truth negative.

Sensitivity and specificity of 5 independent readers' interpretations of ante-mortem 18F-AV-1451 PET imaging for detection of a pattern of 18F-AV-1451 neocortical uptake that corresponds to high levels of AD neuropathologic change (High ADNC) as defined by National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) criteria (see Hyman et al. 2012). ADNC categories are None, Low, Intermediate and High, with High indicating the most severe level of AD-related pathology changes in the brain. The hypothesis tested was that, of the 5 independent imaging physicians, at least 3 will have the lower bounds of 2-sided 95% CIs ≥50%, for both sensitivity and specificity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline scan

Population: Analysis included all subjects who had a valid flortaucipir PET scan in the autopsy and non-autopsy groups (n=241)

As measured by Fleiss' Kappa across all scans read. Fleiss' kappa is a statistical measure for assessing the reliability of agreement between a fixed number of raters when assigning categorical ratings to a number of items or classifying items. Fleiss' kappa can range from 0 to 1 with 1 indicating perfect agreement between the readers. Scan results binarized as positive AD pattern versus negative AD pattern. Results are displayed as percentage of agreement for individual reader pairs, computed as follows: number of images for which reader had the same interpretation divided by the total number of images evaluated, multiplied by 100%.

Flortaucipir F 18 PET imaging will be classified by each reader as either neocortical uptake not consistent with AD (τAD-), neocortical uptake consistent with AD (τAD+), or neocortical uptake consistent with AD with uptake beyond the temporal/occipital regions (τAD++). NFT scoring is according to Hyman, et al 2012. Truth positive is a NFT B3 score. Truth negative is NFT \<B3 score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline scan

Population: 20 scans read twice to assess the intra-reader reliability

Cohen's Kappa will be calculated for each of 5 readers to assess the intra-reader reliability of flortaucipir F 18 PET scan visual interpretation. The statistic takes into account the possibility of the agreement occurring by chance. Cohen's kappa values range from 0 to 1 with 1 representing perfect agreement. Results are displayed as percentage of agreement within a reader, computed as follows: number of images for which reader had the same interpretation at initial and second read divided by the total number of images evaluated twice by a reader, multiplied by 100%.
