Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main endpoint of this study is the difference in VAChT brain binding on a [18F]FEOBV PET-scan between PD patients and healthy control subjects. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoints of this study are: - the correlation between (1) distribution volume (VT) and binding potential (BP) as quantitative endpoints and (2) the uptake, expressed as SUV, in selected brain regions. This is to determine the best time point for short static scanning as an alternative for extensive dynamic scanning and confirm previous literature findings. - The percentage change in mean SUV between test and retest to assess test-retest variability. - Neuropsychological assessment | — |
