Early Longitudinal Imaging in the Parkinson's Progressive Marker Initiative (PPMI) Using (18F)AV-133 (PPMI AV-133 Prodromal Imaging)

We're studying early brain scans in Parkinson's disease research.

All
Phase 2

This study looks at early signs of Parkinson's Disease (PD) using a special scan called [18F] AV-133 PET imaging. It's a *longitudinal study*, meaning it follows people over time, for up to 24 months. *Prodromal PD* means participants show early signs of PD but don't have full symptoms yet. In this study, 100 participants across 10 sites will have scans and health checks at the start, and then again at 12 and 24 months. This helps researchers understand PD better and find ways to slow it down.

  • The study lasts for 2 years with 3 major assessments: at the start, after 1 year, and after 2 years.
  • Participants must be 18 or older and able to give consent.
  • Women must ensure they're not pregnant and use effective birth control.

This study does not allow participants on certain medications or with certain health conditions. Knowing these details can help decide if joining is right for you.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
