Evaluation of D3 Receptor Occupancy Using FLUORTRIOPRIDE ([18F]FTP) PET/CT

Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Preclinical work suggests that D3 dopamine receptors may be important in the study of the pathophysiology of affective disorders, psychotic disorders and addiction. D3 receptors may also play a role in dystonia, Parkinson's disease and response to treatment of these disorders. However, there has been a lack of specific radioligands for imaging D3 receptors. This proposed protocol will evaluate the uptake of \[18F\]FTP as a more specific in vivo measure of D3 receptor binding in the brain in healthy volunteers subjects after injection of lorazepam vs placebo, and in cocaine-dependent subjects. Test-retest scans will evaluate the variability of \[18F\]FTP uptake measures in both healthy volunteer subjects and cocaine-dependent subjects.
