AV133 Longitudinal Imaging Study in Patients With Early and Prdromal Parkinson's Disease

AV133 Longitudinal Imaging Study in Patients With Early and Prodromal Parkinson's Disease


Sponsor

Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing

Enrollment

76 participants

Start Date

Apr 12, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

A total of 38 patients with early-stage Parkinson's disease and 38 patients with prodromal Parkinson's disease are planned to be enrolled in this study and examined for longitudinal changes in \[18F\]AV-133 through follow-up, thereby informing the design of future therapeutic trials utilizing \[18F\]AV-133 as a marker of disease progression.


Eligibility

Min Age: 30 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses a specialized brain imaging scan (AV133 PET scan) to track changes in dopamine-producing cells in people with early or early-warning (prodromal) Parkinson's disease over time. The goal is to better understand how the disease progresses in its earliest stages. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 30 or older with a clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease - You were diagnosed within the past 2 years - You have at least two of the key motor symptoms: resting tremor, slowness of movement (bradykinesia), or rigidity - Your disease is at an early stage (Hoehn & Yahr stage I or II) - Your AV133 PET scan suggests reduced dopamine storage in the brain **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your diagnosis is older than 2 years - Your disease is more advanced (stage III or higher) - Your PET scan does not show the expected dopamine changes Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTFluoro[18F]promethazine

It is the first F-18-labeled VMAT2 imaging agent for PET imaging that is currently being used in the clinic internationally. In the brains of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, the target binding of fluoro\[18F\]promethazine was significantly reduced compared with that of normal controls, with an 81% reduction in the posterior region of the nucleus accumbens, a 70% reduction in the anterior region of the nucleus accumbens, and a 48% reduction in the caudate nucleus; the radioactivity uptake in the caudate nucleus of PD patients was correlated with the extent of their disease
