Brief summary

This is an open-label study without randomisation. All eligible patients will receive two administrations of the investigational imaging agent \[18F\]PI-2620 at a radioactive dose of 185 MBq, one with high specific activity (≤ 5 µg tracer mass dose), another one with low specific activity (40-50 µg tracer mass dose).

Detailed description

This is an open-label, single center study to visually assess and quantitatively compare brain PET images obtained after application of \[18F\]PI-2620 with different specific activities: 1) High specific activity (low mass dose): 185 MBq containing a maximum mass dose of ≤5 μg in up to 10 mL and 2) Low specific activity (high mass dose): 185 MBq containing a maximum mass dose of 40-50 μg in up to 10 mL).

Interventions

\[18F\]PI-2620 is a radioactive diagnostic agent being developed for the indication of PET imaging of the brain to detect tau pathology in adult patients who are being evaluated for neurodegenerative decline. All patients will receive two administrations of \[18F\]PI-2620 at a radioactive dose of 185 MBq, one with high specific activity (≤ 5 µg tracer mass dose), another one with low specific activity (40-50 µg tracer mass dose).

Inclusion criteria

* Males and females aged 50-80 years * Able to understand, sign and date written informed consent, which is confirmed by the judgment of the referring physician * Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed * Prior evaluable MRI * Female patients must be documented by medical records or physician's note to be either surgically sterile (by means of hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or post-menopausal for at least 1 year (no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause). If they are of child-bearing potential, must commit to use of a highly effective contraceptive measure for the duration of the study * Male patients and their partners of childbearing potential must commit to the use of a highly effective method of contraception for a minimum of one week following each PET scan * Male patients must commit to not donate sperm for a minimum of one week after each PET scan. Inclusion Criteria for mild-moderate AD patients * Patients with mild or moderate AD in accordance with NIA-AA guidelines 2011 * Have a CDR score of ≥ 0.5 at screening * Have an MMSE score of ≤ 24 at screening * Prior evaluable amyloid PET imaging confirming presence of beta-amyloid brain pathology * Medications taken for symptomatic treatment of AD must be maintained on a stable dosage regimen for at least 30 days before the \[18F\]PI-2620 PET imaging visits Inclusion Criteria for patients with probable PSP * Patients with a clinical diagnosis of probable PSP based on the Movement Disorder Society criteria (Höglinger et al., 2017). * Have a PSP rating score between 20 - 60 * Medications taken for symptomatic treatment of PSP must be maintained on a stable dosage regimen for at least 30 days before the \[18F\]PI-2620 PET imaging visits

Exclusion criteria

(for all patients) * Laboratory tests with clinically significant abnormalities and/or clinically significant unstable medical illness equivalent to CTC v5.0 (common toxicity criteria) toxicities greater than grade 2 * Evidence of clinically significant disease that is expected to interfere with cognitive assessments or the ability to complete the study procedures * Patient has received an investigational drug including treatments targeting amyloid-beta plaques or tau within 3 months of screening * Pregnant (or intention of getting pregnant), lactating or breastfeeding * MRI

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparability of visual assessment of PI-2620 tau PET images obtained after injection of high specific activity and low specific activity in AD and PSP patients.4-54 daysPI-2620 tau PET images obtained with \[18F\]PI-2620 using high specific activity (185 MBq and ≤ 5 µg mass dose) and with \[18F\]PI-2620 using low specific activity (185 MBq and 40-50 µg mass dose) in AD and PSP patients will be visually analyzed. Visual analysis of the tau signal pattern will be compared for high and low specific activity images within the same subject.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparability of quantitative assessment of PI-2620 tau PET images obtained after injection of high specific activity and low specific activity in AD and PSP patients.4-54 daysPI-2620 tau PET images obtained with \[18F\]PI-2620 using high specific activity (185 MBq and ≤ 5 µg mass dose) and with \[18F\]PI-2620 using low specific activity (185 MBq and 40-50 µg mass dose) in AD and PSP patients will be quantitatively analyzed. Quantitative analysis of the tau signal pattern will be compared for high and low specific activity images within the same subject.
Number of adverse eventsFrom injection of [18F]PI-2620 until up to 6 days after injectionSafety will be evaluated by collection of Adverse Events.
