Brief summary

This is an open-label study to evaluate the performance of a novel tau imaging ligand in up to 36 subjects (12 AD, 3 FTD, 3 PSP, 3 CBS, 3 VCI and 12 HV). Subjects will be recruited from the patient population and healthy volunteers of Taiwan residents. This study protocol requires each subject to complete the following components: screening evaluation, brain MRI and 18F-PM-PBB3 PET imaging up to two sessions. The screening procedures will include neuropsychological assessments, vital signs, ECG, physical examinations and laboratory tests. In addition, 18F-AV-45 PET imaging result will be as a part of inclusion criteria to confirm presence of amyloid deposition in patients with clinically diagnosed probable AD or absence of amyloid deposition in FTD, VCI and HV subjects. Furthermore, 18F-AV-133 PET imaging data will also be as a part of inclusion criteria to confirm the diagnosis of PSP and CBS. All subjects will complete clinical assessments and clinical safety tests to ensure the subject is medically stable to complete the study protocol. The screening procedures will occur within 30 days prior to 18F-PMPBB3 PET imaging.

Inclusion criteria

1. Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed. 2. Female subjects must be documented by medical records or physician's note to be either surgically sterile (by means of hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation) or post-menopausal for at least 1 year or, if they are of child-bearing potential, must commit to use a barrier contraception method for the duration of the study. 3. Male subjects and their partners of childbearing potential must commit to the use of two methods of contraception, one of which is a barrier method for male subjects for the study duration. 4. Male subjects must not donate sperm for the study duration. 5. Willing and able to cooperate with study procedures

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The primary outcome measures are to evaluate the dosimetry of novel radiotracer 18F-PM-PBB3 in human.YEAR ONETime-integrated activity in each organ will be calculated by trapezoidal integration of the first 45 min of the organ's time-activity curve, followed by a single-exponential fit to the remaining data points (based on the 4 whole-body images) extrapolate to infinity, all base on non-decay-corrected data.Residence times will be obtained by dividing the time-integrated activity by the injected amount of activity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Optimal scanning time for brain imaging using 18F-PM-PBB3 .YEAR ONEPET data will be acquired using SIMENS PET/CT or PET/MRI scanner with an axial field of view of 15.7cm. For PET/CT protocol, a 50-min dynamic brain PET scan (6x10s, 4x60s, 5x180s, 6x300s) will be started simultaneously with the injection of 10mCi of 18F-PM-PBB3 after a low-dose CT scan for patient positioning and attenuation correction.
