What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early-phase trial will test a new radioactive tracer called 18F-FCOB04 in 40 people with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. The tracer targets a brain protein called MAO-B and is used with PET scans to see if it can help diagnose these conditions. The study focuses on safety and how the tracer behaves in the body.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
18F-FCOB04 (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new imaging tool to help doctors diagnose neurodegenerative diseases more accurately and earlier.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (40 people) focused on safety and imaging patterns, not treatment. It may not lead to a widely used diagnostic test.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged between 18 and 75 years, regardless of gender. 2. Patients diagnosed with probable or possible neurodegenerative diseases by a specialist neurologist according to current internationally recognized clinical diagnostic criteria, including but not limited to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Parkinsonian syndromes (such as progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, etc.).Diagnosis is based on a comprehensive evaluation including systematic medical history collection, neurological examination, relevant neuropsychological or motor function scale assessments, combined with conventional structural neuroimaging such as cranial MRI.Patients with a history of brain surgery, brain cyst, brain tumor, or other comorbidities that may affect data analysis are excluded. 3. Prior to any assessment, the subject or their legal representative has understood and signed the written informed consent form. 4. Subjects who are currently using, or have not used MAO-B inhibitors (including but not limited to selegiline, rasagiline, safinamide) for ≥14 days prior to enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Suffering from other severe neurological diseases, or severe diseases of the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, hematological, oncological, endocrine, respiratory, immunodeficiency or other severe systemic disorders. 2. Suffering from claustrophobia. 3. History of substance abuse or excessive alcohol consumption. 4. Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 5. Presence of any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may be harmful or potentially harmful to the subject in any procedure related to this study.
