Topic: Brain proteins, microglia and lab models

Die Frühphasen- & R1-Bilder korrelierten signifikant in allen Gruppen (Gesunde: r=0,68-0,84; AD: r=0,81-0,9; PSP-RS: r=0,81-0,86; FTD: r=0,76-0,82). Krankheitsspezifische Hypoperfusionsmuster konnten für Patienten mit AD (temporal, parietal), bvFTD (frontal) & lvPPA (temporal, parietal) gefunden werden, in deutlicherer Ausprägung in den Frühphasen- im Vergleich zu R1-Bildern. In den PSP und nfvPPA-Kohorten waren keine Hypoperfusionsmuster erkennbar. Schlussfolgerungen/ Die Sensitivität der Frühphasen/Perfusions-Tau-PET-Bildgebung für krankheitsspezifische Muster (N-Stadium) scheint im Falle von [ 18 F]PI-2620 abhängig von der Art der neurodegenerativen Erkrankung. Eine Studie mit Einzelfallanalysen insbesondere im Vergleich zur [ 18 F]FDG als Standard erscheint notwendig, um den Biomarkernutten der Frühphasen/Perfusions-[ 18 F]PI-2620-PET genauer zu bestimmen.

Key findings

Why it matters

Early-phase and R1 images from [18F]PI-2620 tau-PET correlated significantly in all groups, and disease-specific hypoperfusion patterns were seen in AD, bvFTD, and lvPPA but not in PSP or nfvPPA. The authors conclude that further study, including comparison with [18F]FDG, is needed to determine the biomarker value of this imaging.
