What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing three new radioactive tracers that light up alpha-synuclein clumps in the brain during PET/CT scans. Researchers want to see if these scans can accurately diagnose Parkinson's disease and related disorders. 500 adults with suspected or confirmed Parkinson's will receive one injection and undergo imaging. The goal is to improve diagnosis, not to treat the disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
18F-FIAT-2, 18F-C05-05, 18F-SPAL-T-06 (radioactive tracers for PET/CT imaging)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more accurate way to diagnose Parkinson's disease and related conditions using brain imaging.
What could go wrong
This is an early diagnostic study, not a treatment. The tracers may not reliably detect alpha-synuclein in all patients, and results may not change clinical care.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

(i) adult patients (aged 18 years or order); (ii) patients with suspected or new diagnosed or previously treated PD (supporting evidence may include MRI, CT, tumor markers and pathology report); (iii) patients who had scheduled α-Syn PET/CT scan; (iv) patients who were able to provide informed consent (signed by participant, parent or legal representative) and assent according to the guidelines of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee.
