Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate the performance of physician readers trained to read florbetapir-PET scans using electronic media training.

Clinical Trial Description

Avid has previously developed a florbetapir-PET scan binary read methodology and training program, which was successfully applied in studies 18F-AV-45-A08(NCT01565369), 18F-AV-45-A09(NCT01565382) and 18F-AV-45-A16(NCT01447719). In these previous studies, training was conducted in-person. Study 18F-AV-45-PT01 will evaluate an automated version of this training program suitable for web-based distribution. Nuclear medicine physicians will complete the automated training program then read the florbetapir-PET images from 151 subjects with repeat readings of 33 randomly selected images. Readers will rate each case as either positive for significant tracer accumulation in cortical gray matter or negative for significant tracer accumulation in cortical gray matter. The inter-rater reliability, sensitivity and specificity of the readers will be evaluated.

The primary image set for determination of inter-reader agreement is comprised of images from 119 subjects from two previous clinical studies (A07[NCT00857415]/A16[NCT01447719] and A05[NCT00702143]). This included all 59 subjects who came to autopsy in Study A07(NCT00857415) and it's follow-up study, A16(NCT01447719), and a set of 60 cases randomly selected from Study A05(NCT00702143) subjects, including 20 cognitively-normal controls, 20 with mild cognitive impairment) MCI, 20 with AD.

Subsequently, the protocol was amended to include all remaining A05(NCT00702143) MCI patients that were not used in the training program (n=32); 13 of these 32 scans presented for repeat reading (to increase the number of A05 MCI cases with repeated reads to 20). This increased the number of unique cases in the validation dataset to 151 scans with 33 scans repeated yielding a total of 184 scans reviewed by the readers. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
