Overview

The study is a longitudinal, single-center study to assess progression of \[18F\]AV-133 imaging in PD participants. Participants will be followed for up to 12 months. Approximately 45 PD participants and 5 healthy control participants will be recruited from the ongoing PPMI Clinical 002 study. Participants will be comprehensively assessed at Baseline and follow up according to the Schedule of Activities. Participants will undergo PET imaging assessments with \[18F\]AV-133. After tracer injection, participants will be imaged on PET cameras at each imaging timepoint-one with the NX camera and one with a standard PET camera-in accordance with the Image Acquisition Protocol (IAP).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants over the age of 18 who are enrolled in the PPMI Clinical protocol with a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) or Healthy Control participants enrolled in the PPMI Clinical protocol.
  2. Able to provide informed consent.
  3. Male or Female (females must meet additional criteria specified below as applicable)
    1. Females must be of non-childbearing potential or using a highly effective method of birth control 14 days prior to until at least 24 hours after injection of \[18F\]AV-133
      • Non-childbearing potential is defined as a female that must be either postmenopausal (no menses for at least 12 months prior to PET scan) or surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
      • Highly effective method of birth control is defined as practicing at least one of the following: A birth control method that results in a less than 1% per year failure rate when used consistently and correctly, such as oral contraceptives for at least 3 months prior to injection, an intrauterine device (IUD) for at least 2 months prior to injection, or barrier methods, e.g., diaphragm or combination condom and spermicide. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not acceptable.
    2. Females of childbearing potential must not be pregnant, breastfeeding or lactating.
      • Includes a negative urine pregnancy test prior to injection of \[18F\]AV-133 on day of PET scan.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Received any of the following medications that might interfere with \[18F\]AV-133 PET imaging: tetrabenazine (TBZ) or methylphenidate, reserpine, or amphetamine derivative, within 1 month prior to the Baseline \[18F\]AV-133 injection.
  2. Any other medical or psychiatric condition or lab abnormality, which in the opinion of the investigator might preclude participation.

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.
