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

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

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.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease: Men or women aged 30 years or older at the time of diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Patients must have at least two of the following: resting tremor, bradykinesia, tonicity (must have resting tremor or bradykinesia); or asymmetric resting tremor or asymmetric bradykinesia. Time to diagnosis of Parkinson's disease at screening was 2 years or less. Hoehn \& Yahr staging stage I or II at baseline. AV133 PET scan suggestive of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) deficiency. Able to provide willing to sign a consent form. Not yet started on PD medication. Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in the prodromal phase: Subjects confirmed eligible based on existing predictive criteria Olfactory dysfunction confirmed by olfactory testing. Other predictive criteria based on general risk, such as first-degree biological relatives, known Parkinson's disease risk including RBD, or known genetic variants associated with Parkinson's disease risk (LRRK2 or GBA). Men or women 60 years or older (or 30 years or older for subjects with SNCA or rare genetic variants such as Parkin or Pink1) AV133 deficiency as determined by visual assessment (screening PET scan) Subjects taking any of the following medications: α-methyldopa, methylphenidate, amphetamine derivatives, or modafinil must be willing and medically able to discontinue the medication for at least 5 half-lives prior to PET imaging. Able to provide willing to sign a consent form. Not yet started on PD medication. Exclusion Criteria: Currently taking levodopa, dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors, amantadine, or other anti-Parkinson's disease medications. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Current clinically significant cardiovascular disease or screening ECG abnormalities (including but not limited to QTc \> 450 ms) Currently taking medications known to cause QT prolongation; Use of an investigational drug or device within 60 days prior to baseline (dietary supplements taken outside of a clinical trial are not exclusionary, e.g., coenzyme Q10).

Treatments Being Tested

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Fluoro[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
