NCT02278354

Brief Summary

Subjects enrolled in the Professional Fighters Brain Health Study (PFBHS) will receive flortaucipir to explore its use as a biomarker for brain injury related to repetitive head trauma and to examine the relationship between clinical presentation and tau deposition.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Flortaucipir Imaging (Quantitative) Between Cognitive Groups

    Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVr) by subject enrollment group (cognitive impaired/normal) across weighted cortical average, frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital brain regions. For SUVr, a value of 1 or lower signifies no flortaucipir activity above background, values greater than 1 signify increasing flortaucipir activity in the brain.

    baseline scan

  • Flortaucipir Imaging (Quantitative) Between Fighter Groups

    Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVr) by subject enrollment group (active fighter/retired fighter) across weighted cortical average, frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital brain regions. For SUVr, a value of 1 or lower signifies no flortaucipir activity above background, values greater than 1 signify increasing flortaucipir activity in the brain.

    baseline scan

  • Flortaucipir Imaging (Qualitative) Between Cognitive Groups

    Qualitative read results (no, mild, moderate, or intense uptake) compared between cognitively impaired (CI) and cognitively normal (CN) groups.

    baseline scan

  • Flortaucipir Imaging (Qualitative) Between Fighter Groups

    Qualitative read results (no, mild, moderate, or intense uptake) compared between active and retired fighter groups
