FPI-2620 FTLD Trial Summary

This trial will compare tau PET scans from patients with FTLD, patients with naAD, and cognitively normal seniors to see if there are differences.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women over 45, diagnosed with Alzheimer's or Frontotemporal Dementia (FTLD), who are not clinically depressed. Participants must be enrolled in the UNICORN study, have no early-onset neurodegenerative disease history in their family, and if female, be post-menopausal or surgically sterile. They need a study partner or legal representative.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing PI-2620 tau PET scans to compare brain changes in patients with FTLD, atypical Alzheimer's (naAD), and cognitively normal seniors. It aims to understand how this imaging technique can differentiate between these conditions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of PI-2620 aren't detailed here, participants may experience discomfort or reactions related to PET scan procedures such as allergic reactions to the tracer substance used.

Answered by AI

How many candidates are being offered the chance to participate in this research?

"Yes, the information on clinicaltrials.gov point out that this trial is presently recruiting candidates. The study was originally posted on 9/19/2022 and was last edited on 10/12/2022. The clinical trial is enrolling 54 patients at 1 locations"

Answered by AI

Will [18F]PI-2620 have any negative effects on patients?

"[18F]PI-2620 falls into the category of being a Phase 3 trial medication, which means that while there is some efficacy data, there is also multiple rounds of safety data. Consequently, our team at Power estimates the safety to be a 3."
