Study to Evaluate a Potential PET Radioligand for Imaging Alpha-synuclein Deposits in the Brain

United States12 participantsStarted 2020-12-24

Plain-language summary

The overall goal of this protocol is to evaluate \[18F\]MNI-1216 (also known as \[18F\]ACI-12589) as an α-synuclein targeted radiopharmaceutical in 3 parts as follows: * Part 1: first in human (FiH) imaging * Optional Part 2: expansion of FiH imaging * Optional Part 3: retest imaging A total of up to 30 participants may be enrolled and participate in the study. Part 1 of the study will include up to 10 participants (target of up to 5 healthy volunteers and up to 5 participants with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease). There will be an ongoing review of study data in Part 1 to evaluate the characteristics of tracer binding and safety. If the study results are deemed adequate in Part 1, Part 2 and/or Part 3 may be initiated. The decision to initiate Part 3 may also include a review of data from Part 2, if Part 2 is performed and the data are available. If performed, Part 2 will include up to 20 participants, including health volunteers and participants with α-synucleinopathies to acquire additional tracer-related data. If performed, Part 3 will include up to 10 participants from in Part 1 and/or Part 2 (including health volunteers and participants with α-synucleinopathies) to evaluate the reliability of \[18F\]MNI-1216 (\[18F\]ACI-12589) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants is able to provide written informed consent, which must be obtained before any assessment is performed. * Female participants must not be of childbearing potential, or agree to use contraception and not donate eggs if of childbearing potential. At the discretion of the Investigator, participants without documentation of non-childbearing potential may receive pregnancy testing. * A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if postmenarchal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and is not permanently infertile due to surgery (ie, removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes, and/or uterus) or another cause as determined by the PI (eg, Müllerian agenesis). * Women of childbearing potential must commit to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use 2 forms of birth control, 1 of which is a barrier contraception method, for the duration of the study and 30 days after study completion. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of contraception. * Women of childbearing potential must commit to not donate ovum for the duration of the study and 30 days after study completion. * Male participants and their partners of childbearing potential must commit to the use of 2 methods of contraception, 1 of which is a barrier method for male participants for the s…

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.
