[18F]PF-06445974 para obtener imágenes de PDE4B en el trastorno depresivo mayor mediante PET

30 de septiembre de 2026 actualizado por: National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

Background:

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric condition. People with MDD have occasional bouts of depressive symptoms; these bouts are called major depressive episodes (MDEs). Researchers want to know if people having MDEs have lower levels of an enzyme called PDE4B in their brains.

Primary Objective: To determine whether PDE4B is reduced in the brains of individuals with MDD experiencing a major depressive episode (MDE). Secondary Objectives: To determine the optimal length of scanning and the retest variability and reliability of [18F]PF-06445974, and whether PDE4B binding correlates with clinical rating scales. To measure if PDE4B radioligand binding can be blocked by taking apremilast.

Eligibility:

People aged 18-70 years with MDD. Healthy volunteers are also needed.

Design:

Participants will have up to 5 clinic visits.

Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have a test of their heart function. Some participants may have a psychiatric assessment; they will answer questions about their state of mind and related topics.

Participants will have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. They will lie on a table that slides into a metal cylinder.

Participants will have a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. A needle will be used to guide a thin plastic tube (catheter) into a vein in one arm. An experimental substance called a radioactive tracer ([18F]PF-06445974) will be injected through the catheter. Participants will lie on a table that slides into a doughnut-shaped machine. The scan will last up to 4 hours with a 15-minute break.

Participants blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing will be monitored before, during, and after the PET scan. A second catheter will be inserted in the artery of the wrist so blood can be drawn during the scan.

Some participants may return for a second PET scan; have a lung scan or receive apremilast.

Descripción detallada

Study Description:

This study will examine whether phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) can be accurately quantified in the human brain and whether it is reduced in the brain of individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Objectives:

Primary Objective:

To determine whether PDE4B is reduced in the brains of individuals with MDD experiencing a major depressive episode (MDE).

Secondary Objectives:

To determine the optimal length of scanning and the retest variability and reliability of [18F]PF-06445974, and whether PDE4B binding correlates with clinical rating scales.

Endpoints:

Primary Endpoint: measurement of PDE4B density (distribution volume VT) in the brains of individuals with MDD compared to healthy volunteers

Secondary endpoints:

  1. To determine the optimal length for PDE4B scans with [18F]PF-06445974 PET scans in healthy volunteers
  2. To measure whole-brain VT of PDE4B in a retest setting.
  3. To assess the relationship between clinical rating scales and PDE4B binding.
  4. To measure the blockade of PDE4B radioligand binding in brain after oral administration of apremilast.

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:

Patients: In order to be eligible for this study, MDD participants must meet all of the following criteria:

  • 18 to 70 years of age.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential must be using a medically acceptable means of contraception.
  • Be in good general health as evidenced by medical history and physical examination. Stable medical conditions as assessed by their primary care provider (PCP) and/or in-house clinician are permitted to join the study.
  • Each participant must have a level of understanding sufficient to agree to all required tests and examinations and sign an informed consent document.
  • All participants must have undergone a screening assessment under protocol 01-M-0254, The Evaluation of Patients with Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Healthy Participants .
  • Participants must fulfill DSM-5 criteria for major depression (MDD) without psychotic features, as based on clinical assessment and structured diagnostic interview (SCID-P).
  • Participants must have an initial score on the MADRS >= 18 or HAM-D >= 15 within one week of study entry.
  • Participants must be experiencing an MDE lasting at least four weeks.
  • All MDD participants must have a PCP or psychiatrist in the community.
  • Participants must have their radial artery pulse checked for the presence of adequate ulnar collateral flow and the absence of any metal or foreign objects in both wrists.
  • Participants must agree to adhere to the lifestyle considerations.

Healthy Controls: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, control subjects must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Aged 18 to 70 years old.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential must be using a medically acceptable means of contraception.
  • Able to provide informed consent.
  • Be in good general health, as evidenced by medical history and physical examination, and have no cognitive impairment.
