Sampling Method
Study Population
Very late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis (VLSOP) diagnostic criteria:
VLSOP is a schizophrenia-like condition characterized by the onset of delusions (primarily persecutory but also bizarre delusions) and/or hallucinations (auditory, visual, tactile, or olfactory) after age 60 in the absence of negative symptoms, formal thought disorder, and affective flattening that are common in early-onset schizophrenia.
Delusional disorder diagnostic criteria:
Delusional disorder comprises the presences of non-bizarre delusions including erotomanic, grandiose, jealous, persecutory, or somatic subtypes.
The presence of one (or more) above delusions with a duration of 1 month or longer.
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female, aged 65-85 years.
- Diagnosis of late-onset non-affective primary psychotic disorder consistent with either very late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis (VLOSP, International Late-Onset Schizophrenia Group consensus criteria, Howard et al., 2000) or delusional disorder (DSM-5 criteria)
- Caregiver available to provide collateral history and participation in informant-based ratings (NPI,CDR)
- Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) score of 0 or 0.5.
- Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score ≥ 24 and at the screening visit.
- Normal memory function (to rule-out mild cognitive impairment, MCI) documented by scoring within 1.5 SD range in education adjusted norms of the Logical Memory II subscale
- Ability to hear 500, 1000 and 1500 Hz bilaterally on a hearing evaluation (hearing aids permitted).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants with affective and psychotic disorders including bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, active major depression; insulin dependent type 2 diabetes; a history of CVD; a history of epilepsy; a history of TBI with greater than 15 minutes of loss of consciousness; a movement disorder including Parkinson's disease; stroke; autoimmune disease affecting the CNS; substance abuse disorder; or active delirium/encephalopathy.
- Evidence of a clinically relevant neurological disorder
- Modified Hachinski ischemia score of more than 4.
- History of alcoholism or drug dependency/abuse within the last 5 years before screening.
- Presence of metal implants such as pacemakers, ear implants, internal bullet fragments or shrapnel.
- Inability to lie flat for 1 hour approximately.
- Hearing impairment as evidenced by the inability to hear 500, 1000 and 1500 Hz bilaterally on a hearing evaluation. Subjects with hearing aids will be allowed to participate if they meet minimum hearing requirements.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Quantification of neurofibrillary tangle pathology in subjects via PET [18F]PI-2620 radiotracer uptake.
Time Frame: Each subject will have one PET imaging scan at visit 3 (week 4).
|
To determine whether there are increases in tau pathology in those with psychotic episodes that occur late in life employing tau PET ligands, and whether those increases are etiologic contributors to a stable psychosis or are a presage of an incipient cognitive decline.
|
Each subject will have one PET imaging scan at visit 3 (week 4).
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Measurement of peripheral soluble tau pathology with tau plasma immunoassays.
Time Frame: Each subject will have blood collected at visit 1 or 2 (week 1 or 2).
|
Plasma samples will be collected via venipuncture from LOP subjects and batch shipped to Quanterix Inc. for ptau analyses and quantification on the SiMOA SR-X analyzer platform.
|
Each subject will have blood collected at visit 1 or 2 (week 1 or 2).
|
Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Evaluation of sensorimotor gating integrity and it's association to tau PET ligand uptake.
Time Frame: Each subject will participate in this assessment at visit 2 (week 2).
|
Prepulse Inhibition of Acoustic Startle (PPI) sessions will be assessed using eyeblink response (electromyography of the orbicularis oculi muscle) to a 115-dB startle stimulus.
|
Each subject will participate in this assessment at visit 2 (week 2).
