Tau Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Longitudinal Substudy Associated With: Study of Crenezumab Versus Placebo in Preclinical Presenilin1 (PSEN1) E280A Mutation Carriers in the Treatment of Autosomal-Dominant Alzheimer's Disease
Colombia114 participantsStarted 2019-06-10
Plain-language summary
This substudy will evaluate the effect of crenezumab on the longitudinal tau burden in a subgroup of preclinical Presenilin1 (PSEN1) E280A mutation carriers and non-carriers, who were enrolled in study NCT01998841 (GN28352). Participants will receive up to three intravenous (IV) injections of \[\^18F\] Genentech Tau Probe 1 (GTP1) and will undergo a tau positron emission tomography (PET) scan after each IV injection of \[18\^F\]GTP1. The purpose of this substudy is to increase the understanding of disease progression in the preclinical stage of familial Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Exclusion Criteria:
\- Contraindication to PET scan procedures, possibly including, but not limited to current, past, or planned participation in studies involving radioactive agents, including the main Study NCT01998841 (GN28352) and this Tau PET substudy, such that the total research-related radiation dose to the participant in any given year would exceed the limits set forth in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 21 Section 361.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
