About this trial

This is a non randomized, open-label Phase I study in Chinese participants. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a radioactive imaging agent called \[18F\]Flortaucipir Injection, which is used during a PET scan. The study will also measure how the agent moves through the body (pharmacokinetics), where it goes (biodistribution), the amount of radiation exposure (radiation dosimetry), and how well it may help detect signs of disease (preliminary diagnostic efficacy).

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed informed consent form (ICF).

Male or female aged 50-85 years.

Education level sufficient to cooperate with neuropsychological testing and obtain reliable results.

CN: No history of cognitive impairment, Aβ-PET negative, MRI without clinically significant neurodegenerative changes.

Disqualifiers

Pregnant (positive pregnancy test at screening or before administration) or breastfeeding women.

Major surgery within 1 month prior to screening, or planned surgery during the study period.

Known allergy to radioactive radiation, alcohol, [18F]Flortaucipir injection, or its excipients, or other severe allergic reactions.

Cognitive impairment due to causes other than AD.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence and Severity of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

Time frame
6 days post-injection

Secondary outcomes

1

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) - Total Radioactivity and Parent Compound

Cmax is defined as the highest observed plasma concentration of total radioactivity (measured by gamma counting) and of the unmetabolized parent \[18F\]Flortaucipir

Time frame
Up to 360 mins
2

Time to Reach Cmax (Tmax) - Total Radioactivity and Parent Compound

Tmax is the time (in minutes) at which the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) occurs, recorded as the midpoint of the sampling interval during which the maximum is observed.

Time frame
Up to 360 mins
3

Terminal Half-Life (t½) of Unmetabolized Parent Compound

Time frame
Up to 360 mins
4

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC0-t and AUC0-∞) of Unmetabolized Parent Compound

AUC0-t is calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule from time 0 to the last measurable concentration. AUC0-∞ is extrapolated as AUC0-t + Ct/λz, where Ct is the last quantifiable concentration and λz is the terminal elimination rate constant.

Time frame
Up to 360 mins
