E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a transporter at the blood-brain barrier, responsible for the efflux of neurotoxic substances out of the brain. Both the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are associated with a decrease in P-gp function and P-gp inducers are considered to be potential treatment. To measure the effect of P-gp inducers, [18F]MC225 will be studied under pathological conditions first. Results will be compared with results obtained from healthy volunteers in a previous study. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. Evaluation of blood-brain barrier integrity using [18F]MC225 and MRI VAI sequence in Alzheimer’s disease, MCI and Parkinson’s disease.
2. Evaluation of perfusion measurements using both [15O]H2O PET and MRI (DSC, DCE) to simplify the scan protocol in further [18F]MC225 studies. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Alzheimer's disease - Patients who meet the criteria for Alzheimer’s disease and are mentally competent to give informed consent: I. Documented cognitive decline II. Progressive course of cognitive decline III.Complaints in the following areas a. memory b. language c. visuospatial functions d. executive functions IV. Absence of cerebrovascular disease or signs of other neurodegenerative disease except for Alzheimer’s disease.
and show biomarkers positive for AD: I. amyloid-depositions in the brain showed by low Aβ42 in CSF and/or positive amyloid imaging at a PIB-PET II. Neuronal damages showed by increased tau/ptau in CSF or; decreased FDG uptake at the parietotemporal lobe or; disproportional atrophy of the medial, basal and lateral temporallobes, generalised atrophy and/or biparietal atrophy. The diagnosis Alzheimer’s disease is made by a multidisciplinary team consisting of neurologists, psychologists and internists.
2. Mild Cognitive Impairment Patient is not meeting the criteria for Alzheimers disease, but shows: - Decline in one or more cognitive domains (showed by a neuropsychological examination) - No interference of symptoms with daily life The diagnosis Alzheimer’s disease is made by a multidisciplinary team consisting of psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists and internists. - Absence of cerebrovascular disease or signs of other neurodegenerative disease except for MCI The diagnosis MCI is made by a multidisciplinary team consisting of neurologists, psychologists and internists
3. Parkinson's disease Symptoms of bradykinesia and one of the following symptoms (25): - rigidity - rest tremor - instability (not related to visual, cerebellar or proprioceptive disorders) - no other explanation for abovementioned symptoms at MRI - The diagnosis Parkinson’s disease is made by a neurologist - Absence of cerebrovascular disease or signs of other neurodegenerative disease except for Parkinson’s disease
