Brief summary

Study 18F-AV-45-010 is designed to evaluate the cerebral uptake of florbetapir 18F as measured by PET imaging in frontotemporal disorder (FTD) in comparison to cognitively normal volunteers and subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Interventions

DRUGflorbetapir 18F

Subjects received a one-time intravenous (IV) bolus injection of 300 megabecquerels (MBq) florbetapir 18F.

DRUG18F-FDG

FTD subjects received a one-time IV bolus injection of 185 MBq of 18F-FDG.

Qualitative Amyloid Image Assessment50-60 min after injectionFour readers blinded to all clinical information classified florbetapir Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images as either positive for amyloid or negative for amyloid. The majority read classification is presented as either positive, negative or tied.
