A Comparative Performance Study Between High and Standard Resolution Positron Emission Tomography Camera Using [18F] AV-133 in Prodromal Parkinson's Disease

Comparing PET camera types for early Parkinson's detection study.

Phase 2

This study is conducted in New Haven, CT, at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. It looks at how well two different types of cameras, **high resolution** and **standard resolution**, work for taking pictures of the brain in those who might develop Parkinson's disease. **Parkinson's disease** is a condition that affects movement and can cause shaking, stiffness, and difficulty walking. **Positron Emission Tomography (PET)** is a special imaging test that helps doctors see how organs and tissues inside the body work. Participants will have two PET scans: one with the standard PET camera and another with the NeuroEXPLORER (NX) PET camera.

The study will have about 25 participants and last for up to 2 years. Participants will have visits for PET scans at the start, and then again 1 and 2 years later. They might be asked to do more scans depending on study findings. All participants will have additional tests to gather data on their health.

  • **Participants need to be part of the PPMI 015 study.**
  • **The study involves multiple PET scans over several years.**
  • **Participants must be able to provide consent and not have conditions that make participation unsafe.**

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

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.
