Early Longitudinal Imaging in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative Using [18F] AV-133 (PPMI AV-133 Prodromal Imaging)
Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research
Summary
The study is a longitudinal, multi-center study to assess progression of \[18F\] AV-133 imaging in Prodromal PD participants. Participants will be followed for up to 24 months. Approximately 100 Prodromal participants will be recruited from up to 10 sites. Participants will be comprehensively assessed at baseline and follow up. Participants will undergo imaging assessments with \[18F\] AV-133 and clinical (motor, neuropsychiatric, cognitive and imaging and biomarker) assessments (conducted under the PPMI Clinical protocol).
Description
The Parkinson's Progression Marker Initiative (PPMI) is an observational, international, multi-center study designed to identify PD progression biomarkers both to improve understanding of disease etiology and course and to provide the necessary tools to enhance the likelihood of success of therapeutics studies to slow PD progression (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01141023). A key focus of PPMI is to identify biomarkers during the period when PD neurodegeneration is already present, but symptoms of PD have not yet occurred. This prodromal cohort would enable us to investigate PD biomarker s…
