Trial Outcomes & Findings for Flortaucipir PET Imaging in the Preclinical, Prodromal and Dementia Phases of Alzheimer's Disease (NCT NCT04468347)

NCT ID: NCT04468347

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline scan

Population: Inclusion in this analysis required that the subject's flortaucipir scan was analyzable for SUVr (1 AD, 1 MCI, 5 SMC, and 3 CN were not analyzable)

Flortaucipir PET cortical weighted average standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr). For SUVr, a value of 1 signifies no flortaucipir activity above background, values greater than 1 signify increasing flortaucipir activity in the brain.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline scan

Population: Rows display flortaucipir scan results by subjects who were amyloid positive and amyloid negative at baseline

Scans were visually read independently by two expert readers at the sponsor, blinded to any clinical information. Subject scans were categorized as follows: Advanced AD Scan Pattern (τAD++), Moderate AD Scan Pattern (τAD+), Not AD Scan Pattern (τAD-). For this analysis, subjects with Advanced (τAD++) scans were analyzed vs. the combined Moderate and Not AD pattern groups (τAD+/τAD-). Amyloid status was obtained by florbetapir or carbon-11-labeled Pittsburgh compound B (\[C-11\] PiB) PET results available from the parent AIBL study.
