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.

Researchers are evaluating a new vaccine called V118C designed to help prevent pneumococcal disease, an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. This clinical trial focuses on infants and toddlers to assess how safe and well-tolerated V118C is in young children. The study is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind trial comparing V118C with an existing vaccine called PCV20. The study is divided into two stages. Stage 1 involves toddlers aged 12 to 15 months who have already received a primary series of three doses of PCV vaccine they will receive a single dose of either V118C or PCV20. Stage 2 includes infants starting at approximately 2 months old who will receive four doses three infant doses plus one toddler dose of either V118C or PCV20. All doses are given as 0.5 mL intramuscular injections. Participants will be monitored closely for adverse events immediately after vaccination, as well as for up to 12 months postvaccination. Researchers will collect blood samples to measure immune responses to the vaccines. They will track both injection site and systemic reactions, serious adverse events, and medically attended events. The study aims to understand both safety and immune response profiles of V118C compared to PCV20 over the course of the dosing schedules and follow-up periods.
