Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A Phase 2/3 cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study evaluating imaging characteristics of flortaucipir in control subjects and patients with clinically defined MCI and AD dementia (AD).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: florbetapir F 18
  • Drug: Flortaucipir F18
  • Procedure: Brain PET Scan
Phase 2/Phase 3

Detailed Description

This study was conducted in 2 phases: a Phase 2 Exploratory Phase and a Phase 3 Confirmatory Phase. An overarching goal of the Exploratory Phase of this protocol was to further investigate the pattern of flortaucipir PET imaging across the disease course, in cognitively healthy subjects through patients with cognitive decline. To accomplish this goal, the protocol investigated flortaucipir results in younger and older cognitively healthy normal volunteers and patients with clinical diagnoses for cognitive complaints, ranging from MCI to mild and moderate AD dementia. Additionally, the Exploratory Phase of this protocol investigated relationships between flortaucipir PET signal and cognitive decline over the 18-month study period.

The second, Confirmatory Phase of the study was designed to provide independent validation of the relationships observed in the exploratory analyses of the first phase. In particular, the goal of the second phase was to confirm the relationship between flortaucipir uptake in the brain as measured by PET signals at baseline and the subsequent rate of cognitive decline observed over the 18-month longitudinal follow up.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Confirmatory Phase: Relationship Between Neocortical Flortaucipir Uptake and the Subsequent Rate of Cognitive Decline [between baseline and 18 months]

      Confirm the relationship between neocortical flortaucipir uptake and the subsequent rate of cognitive decline at longitudinal follow up that was observed in the Exploratory Phase of the study. Patients were assigned to groups by majority classification of the flortaucipir positron emission tomography (PET) scan by five independent imaging physicians. Clinically meaningful cognitive and functional deterioration was defined as a 1 point or greater worsening on clinical dementia rating - sum of boxes (CDR-SB) score over the follow-up period.

    2. Exploratory Phase: Cross-sectional Flortaucipir Imaging Results [baseline scan]

      Flortaucipir standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr). A value of 1 signifies no flortaucipir activity above background, values greater than 1 signify increasing flortaucipir activity in the brain.

    3. Exploratory Phase: Longitudinal Change in Tau Deposition Over Time, by Amyloid Status [baseline and 18 months]

      Assess the rate of change of tau deposition as measured by flortaucipir uptake (SUVr) over time. Change = 18 months SUVr - baseline SUVr.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Confirmatory Phase: Diagnostic Performance of Flortaucipir Visual Read [baseline and 18 months]

      This analysis used dichotomized CDR-SB change as a truth standard (1 point or more worsening = true positive vs. less than 1 point worsening = true negative) to assess the diagnostic performance of baseline Advanced AD tau status (τAD++) as determined by flortaucipir scan interpretation. Sensitivity and Specificity were calculated for each of the 5 independent imaging readers. Sensitivity is the percentage of true positive cases correctly identified by an Advanced AD pattern scan. Specificity is the percentage of true negative cases correctly identified by scans that were not classified as Advanced AD pattern.

    2. Exploratory Phase: Correlation Between Flortaucipir SUVr and Age [baseline scan]

      Flortaucipir standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr). A value of 1 signifies no flortaucipir activity above background, values greater than 1 signify increasing flortaucipir activity in the brain.

Subjects with a Moderate AD Scan Pattern (τAD+) or Not AD Scan Pattern (τAD-). Moderate scans were defined as in either hemisphere, increased neocortical activity limited to the posterolateral temporal (PLT) or occipital region(s).

    4. Secondary Outcome
    Title Confirmatory Phase: Diagnostic Performance of Flortaucipir Visual Read
    Description This analysis used dichotomized CDR-SB change as a truth standard (1 point or more worsening = true positive vs. less than 1 point worsening = true negative) to assess the diagnostic performance of baseline Advanced AD tau status (τAD++) as determined by flortaucipir scan interpretation. Sensitivity and Specificity were calculated for each of the 5 independent imaging readers. Sensitivity is the percentage of true positive cases correctly identified by an Advanced AD pattern scan. Specificity is the percentage of true negative cases correctly identified by scans that were not classified as Advanced AD pattern.

    Analysis Population Description
    All confirmatory phase subjects who completed 18 months of follow-up for the cognitive endpoint were read by each reader
    Arm/Group Title Independent Readers

    Other Statistical Analysis The hypothesis tested was that, of the 5 independent imaging physicians, at least 3 will have the lower bounds of 2-sided 95% confidence intervals ≥50%, for both sensitivity and specificity.
    5. Secondary Outcome
    Title Exploratory Phase: Correlation Between Flortaucipir SUVr and Age
    Description Flortaucipir standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr). A value of 1 signifies no flortaucipir activity above background, values greater than 1 signify increasing flortaucipir activity in the brain.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Adverse events (AEs) were collected at scan visits, regardless of attribution to study drug. End of study for AE reporting was 48 hours after the last study drug administration. AEs occurring after study drug administration, but outside that window were not recorded, unless considered attributable to either drug.
