Overview

The main objective of this study is to establish a standardized method for [18F] - FD17 PET imaging in α-synucleinopathy patients, and to analyze its physiological distribution in healthy individuals as well as its pathological distribution in α-synucleinopathy patients, including Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and idiopathic rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). Specifically, [18F] - FD17 PET imaging focuses on evaluating the deposition of α-synuclein and exploring the diagnostic value of [18F] - FD17 PET in PD, MSA, and iRBD patients. In addition, for PD, MSA and RBD patients, dopamine transporter(DAT)-PET imaging was performed to evaluate the distribution and density of DAT in brain. The study aims not only to clarify the specific binding mode of the imaging agent in different α-synucleinopathies, but also to evaluate its efficacy and potential application prospects in early diagnosis , providing new methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. This study is expected to contribute to early pathological detection and accurate diagnosis in clinical practice.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
