Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trial
— MNI-558Official title:
An Exploratory, Open-label, Non-randomized Phase 0 Study to Evaluate Efficacy & Safety of MNI-558 Positron Emission Tomography for Detection/Exclusion of Cerebral Amyloid Beta in Patients w/ Alzheimer Disease Compared to Healthy Volunteers
This research will look at how the brain may change in people with Alzheimer disease (AD).
The purpose of this research is to find out whether changes in the brain in people with
Alzheimer disease can be detected using a brain imaging test. Most people with Alzheimer
disease have changes in the brain that result in deposits of a protein called beta-amyloid.
In this study, the investigators will be using a radioactive drug, [18F]MNI-558 that binds
to beta-amyloid. This drug is experimental and has not been approved by the FDA. Brain
imaging using PET (positron emission tomography) will be done to see if the investigators
can evaluate the areas of beta-amyloid in the subjects with Alzheimer disease. The
investigators will compare these scans with those done in healthy normal volunteers. PET is
a brain-scanning test used in medicine and scientific research to see how the brain is
working. The PET imaging test used in this study is not being done for diagnostic purposes.

Primary | To evaluate the efficacy safety of MNI-558 positron emission tomography (PET) for detection/exclusion of cerebral amyloid beta in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) compared to healthy volunteers (HV) | To determine diagnostic efficacy of the MNI-558 PET scans in differentiating between patients with probable AD and HVs on the basis of neocortical tracer binding pattern, the PET scans will be visually assessed by a nuclear physician experienced in the field of neuro-imaging. Safety will be assessed from the rates of adverse events (AEs), changes in vital signs, changes in ECG parameters, changes in physical examination findings, changes in clinical laboratory findings, changes in injection site monitoring at pre-specified time points before and after IMP administration |

Secondary | To assess the dynamic uptake of MNI-558, a potential imaging biomarker for B-amyloid burden in brain, using positron emission tomography (PET) in similarly aged Alzheimer (AD) subjects and healthy volunteers (HV | Images will be regionally analyzed by applying VOIs to the brain regions indicated above based on PET images coregistered with MRI images; SUV ratios and % injected dose concentrations will be determined using standardized image processing algorithms and commercial algorithms. Standard uptake values (SUV) are calculated for the areas of interest by using the established methods for normalizing to subject weight and injected dose. | 1 year | Yes |
Secondary | To determine pharmacokinetics pattern of MNI-558 in venous plasma of healthy and AD subjects. | The concentration-time profile of total [F18]-radioactivity in plasma will be determined. The PK parameters Cmax, tmax and the AUC(0-tlast) (expressed in %ID*h/mL) of F-18-radioactivity will be derived from the concentration -time profile. The fraction of unchanged tracer in venous plasma at given time points will be determined by HPLC. The metabolite pattern will be described for each sampling time point. Blood sampling, radioactivity measurements of biological samples, generation of plasma samples, sample preparation and subsequent HPLC analyses will be done at the clinical study site. | 1 year | Yes |
