Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Brain Amyloid in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

November 20, 2013 updated by: GE Healthcare

A Principal, Prospective, Open-label Biopsy Study to Validate Detection of Cerebral Cortical Amyloid With Flutemetamol (18F) Injection in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) Subjects.

To determine the level of association between the quantitative estimates of brain uptake of [18F]flutemetamol and the quantitative immunohistochemical and histochemistry estimates of amyloid levels in frontal lobe biopsy samples obtained from subjects during shunt placement for NPH.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm 1
Drug: [18F]Flutemetamol

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVR) at the Site of the Biopsy Based on the "Cerebellum" (CER) as the Reference Region.
Time Frame: Post flutemetamol Injection
The level of association between the quantitative estimates of brain uptake of [18F]flutemetamol and the quantitative immunohistochemical estimates of amyloid levels in biopsy samples obtained during shunt placement in patients who have Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). The quantitative estimates of brain uptake of [18F]flutemetamol (SUVR) will be made from the analysis of PET images.
Post flutemetamol Injection

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVR) at the Site of the Biopsy Based on the "Pons" as the Reference Region.
Time Frame: Post flutemetamol administration
The level of association between SUVR and the quantitative estimates (area percents) of amyloid levels for the following regions: Biopsy site and Contralateral and Composite Regions.
Post flutemetamol administration
