NCT02061722

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to measure the availability of the PDE10A enzyme in Huntington disease gene expansion carriers (HDGECs) using the recently developed radioligand \[18F\]MNI-659. The study will be cross-sectional, examining HDGECs at different stages of the disease (pre-manifest, stage 1 and stage 2), in comparison with Healthy Controls (HCs). The HDGECs included in this study will be recruited from the large database of the REGISTRY (NCT01590589) or ENROLL-HD (NCT01574053) studies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary outcome measure will be the distribution volume (VT) in the striatum (caudate and putamen), globus pallidus, and ventral striatum estimated using kinetic and graphical analysis. Thalamus, cortex and cerebellum will also be examined.

    Visit 3: For HD subjects, this will occur within 90 days from the Screening Visit. For Healthy Controls, this will occur within 28 days of Screening visit.

Study Arms (1)

PET Imaging with [18F]MNI-659

EXPERIMENTAL

All subjects (both HDGECs and HCs) will receive single intravenous doses of the radioligands \[11C\]raclopride (non-investigational medicinal product \[NIMP\]) and \[18F\]MNI-659 (investigational medicinal product \[IMP\]). The radioligands \[11C\]raclopride and \[18F\]MNI-659 will be administered at doses less than 10 micrograms, i.e. within the micro dosing concept, and no pharmacological effects are expected. The injected radioactivity of \[11C\]raclopride will be 300 MBq/70 kg of body weight ± 10%. The injected radioactivity of \[18F\]MNI-659 will be 185 MBq/70 kg of body weight ± 10%.

  • Able and willing to travel to Stockholm
  • Willing to comply with use of adequate contraceptive measures:

You may not qualify if:

  • Any disease, condition or concomitant medications that significantly compromises the function of the body systems and that, in the opinion of the Investigator might interfere with the conduct of the study or the interpretation
  • Regular use of any medication prohibited by this protocol with the exception for Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, which may be temporarily discontinued prior to the PET measurements
  • HDGECs: History of other neurological condition (including brain surgery, intracranial haematoma, stroke/cerebrovascular disorders, epilepsy), co-morbidity of psychotic disorders
  • HCs: Anamnesis/medical history of neurological conditions (Alzheimer´s disease, dementia, Parkinson´s disease, brain surgery, intracranial haematoma, stroke/cerebrovascular disorders, epilepsy) or psychiatric conditions schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder)
  • HCs: Family history of HD
  • History of or current alcohol or drug abuse or dependence
  • History of anaphylactoid or anaphylactic reactions to any allergen including drugs and contrast media
  • Haematological or biochemical parameters that are outside the normal range and are considered clinically significant by the Investigator
  • Clinical relevant findings in the 12-lead ECG as determined by the evaluating physician
  • Donation of blood (450 mL) within three months prior to Visit 3
  • Contraindication to MRI, such as known claustrophobia, presence of metal devises or implants (e.g. pacemaker, vascular- or heart- valves, stents, clips), metal deposited in the body (e.g. bullets or shells), or metal grains in the eyes
  • Participating in a clinical trial within the past 3 months
  • HCs: previous participation in another PET study
