A Study to Compare Two Different Brain Imaging Techniques in Healthy Volunteers and in Schizophrenic Patients

November 1, 2012 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

An Open-label, Cross-over Study, to Compare the PET and SPECT Measurement of Antipsychotic-induced D2 Receptor Occupancy, in a Group of Healthy Volunteers and in Another Group of Patients With Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders

A direct comparison of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) (11C-Raclopride) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) (123I-IBZM) D2 RO measurements would allow GSK to gain understanding on the SPECT results obtained with SB773812, and to accurately interpret future D2 RO results from either PET or SPECT studies with new compounds.
