The Mechanism Study of Diabetic Pancreatic Amyloid Deposition on Cognitive Dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease
China400 participantsStarted 2021-01-01
Plain-language summary
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is closely related to diabetes (DM). DM will aggravate the progression of AD, but the specific mechanism has not yet been clarified. Previous study found that a key pathological feature of the pancreas in patients with DM is islet amyloid polypeptide, and there is also islet amyloid polypeptide in the brain. Therefore, DM may cause cytotoxicity through the interaction between pancreatic amyloid and brain Aβ protein and further aggravate AD progress. In this study, starting with DM and AD pathological biomarkers, the amyloid PET target molecular probe 18F-AV45 will be used to monitor the dynamic changes of amyloid protein in the brain and pancreas during the development of AD. The completion of this study will provide a new view for understanding the mechanism of DM on AD cognitive dysfunction and effectively preventing and treating these two diseases.

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.
. The diagnosis of AD was based on the 2011 National Association on Aging and Alzheimer's Disease (NIA-AA) diagnostic criteria for possible AD dementia. The diagnostic criteria for diabetes were based on the 1999 World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria for diabetes.
. Brain MRI supports the diagnosis of AD, and there is no evidence of other neurological diseases.
Exclusion criteria
. Suffering from other serious neurological diseases, or gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, liver, kidney, blood system, tumor endocrine, respiratory system, immune deficiency and other serious diseases.
. Candidate subjects have contraindications to PET/CT scanning. Those who cannot accept repeated intravenous injections; those who may be allergic to drugs and their components (including a history of severe allergy or allergic reactions, especially those who are allergic to the tested drugs); phobia of tightness.
. In the past year, in addition to participating in the expected radiation exposure of this clinical study, have participated in other research programs or clinical care, resulting in radiation exposure exceeding the effective dose of 50 mSv.
. Drug or alcohol abuse for at least 1 month.
. The venous condition is poor and cannot tolerate repeated venipuncture.
. The candidate subject has received major surgery within the past 3 months; received experimental drug or device treatment (with unclear effect or safety) within 1 month
. The candidate subjects have any clinical conditions that the host of this study believes that this preparation may cause or have potential harm.
