An Open-label, Non-randomized, Multi-center Pivotal Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PET Imaging With 18FPI-2620 for the Detection of Tau Deposition When Compared to Post-mortem Histopathology ADvance

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the use of PET imaging with the radioligand 18FPI-2620 to detect tau protein deposits in people with Alzheimers disease and healthy controls. This open-label, multi-center, non-randomized Phase 3 study aims to compare PET imaging results during life with brain tissue analysis after death to better understand tau pathology in Alzheimers. The study is sponsored by Lantheus Biosciences Ltd. and focuses on diagnostic accuracy and safety of this imaging technique. Participants receive an intravenous injection of 18FPI-2620 at a dose of 185 MBq 20. The study involves a PET scan procedure that participants must tolerate, including lying still in the scanner. There are no randomized groups or placebo controls as this is an open-label study. The research compares the PET imaging findings with post-mortem brain autopsy results to evaluate the ability of this imaging to detect tau deposits accurately. During the study, participants undergo PET imaging and are monitored for their ability to tolerate the scan. Brain donation consent is required for post-mortem histopathological comparison. Researchers assess the diagnostic performance of the PET scan in correctly identifying tau-related pathology and Alzheimers disease changes. The primary outcome focuses on the accuracy of visual assessment of PET images compared to autopsy findings, with follow-up continuing until study completion and an average of one year after death.
