Longitudinal Investigation of I2BS in PD

Sponsor: University of Exeter

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

In this study, the researchers aim to find a biomarker of PD. Using imaging scans called Positron Emission tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The PET and SPECT scans use small amounts of radiation and specific compounds called tracers, to study chemical changes in the brain in a way not possible with any other procedure. The MRI uses magnetic fields to generate images of brain structure and function

Interventions

OTHER

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan using BU99008 tracer

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan produce detailed 3-dimensional images of the inside of the body by showing radiation from tracers used to highlight specific areas of the brain.

OTHER

FP-CIT Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scan

A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan allows analysis of brain function by creating 3D Pictures using compounds called tracers.

OTHER

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) uses magnets alongside radio waves to create pictures of the brain.

OTHER

Lumbar puncture

A lumbar puncture is where a thin needle is inserted between the bones in your lower spine using local anaesthetic. This allows the collection of Cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF)
