Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of the study is to characterize preclinical Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) neuropathology in a selected group of young adults with youth-onset diabetes, and an age-similar group of young adults without diabetes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The goal of the current proof-of-concept study is to characterize brain structural, functional, and molecular imaging biomarkers of preclinical Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) neuropathology in a selected group of young adults with youth-onset diabetes (Y-DM; type 1 diabetes \[T1D\], n=5; type 2 diabetes \[T2D\], n=5) from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study cohort, and an age-similar group of young adults without diabetes (n=5). This study will quantify structural and functional imaging biomarkers of AD/ADRD neuropathology via magnetic resonance imaging by assessing gray matter (GM) volume/cortical thickness, as well as GM and white matter (WM) microstructure, resting state functional network connectivity (rsfMRI), and cerebral blood flow (CBF) and WM hyperintensity volume. This study will additionally quantify brain tau density via positron emission tomography as the gold-standard measure of preclinical AD/ADRD neuropathology.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

T1D

Young adults with youth-onset type 1 diabetes (n=5) from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study cohort

PI-2620 tracer

Intervention Type DRUG

Following published manufacturer guidelines for Flutemetamol (VizamylTM), Flortaucipir (TauvidTM) and PI-2620 tracer administration162, all participants will be given a 370 MBq (10 mCi) single intravenous bolus (total volume 10mL) of the radiotracer, followed with an intravenous flush of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. Radiotracer administration and participant monitoring will be conducted by trained personnel from the CU-RIC.

T2D

Young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes (n=5) from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study cohort

PI-2620 tracer

Intervention Type DRUG

Following published manufacturer guidelines for Flutemetamol (VizamylTM), Flortaucipir (TauvidTM) and PI-2620 tracer administration162, all participants will be given a 370 MBq (10 mCi) single intravenous bolus (total volume 10mL) of the radiotracer, followed with an intravenous flush of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. Radiotracer administration and participant monitoring will be conducted by trained personnel from the CU-RIC.

NDM

Age-similar group of young adults without diabetes (n=5)

PI-2620 tracer

Intervention Type DRUG

Following published manufacturer guidelines for Flutemetamol (VizamylTM), Flortaucipir (TauvidTM) and PI-2620 tracer administration162, all participants will be given a 370 MBq (10 mCi) single intravenous bolus (total volume 10mL) of the radiotracer, followed with an intravenous flush of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. Radiotracer administration and participant monitoring will be conducted by trained personnel from the CU-RIC.
