NCT02092883

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of neuroinflammation in children with infantile spasms using 11C-PK11195 positron emission tomography (PK PET) scan, and its response to ACTH treatment by repeating the PK PET scan after treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Neuroinflammation in cortical and/or subcortical structures

    Neuroinflammation in cortical and/or subcortical structures of the brain in patients with Infantile Spasms will be evaluated with 11-C-PK11195 PET scan at the baseline and 2 weeks after the completion of ACTH treatment (given over 4 weeks), i.e., 6 weeks after the baseline PET scan.

    up to 6 weeks

Study Arms (1)
