Trial Outcomes & Findings for Traumatic Brain Injury and Risk for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (NCT NCT02003183)

NCT ID: NCT02003183

Last Updated: 2020-03-03

Results Overview

The outcome measure is a ratio of the volume (in milliliters) of 2-(1-{6-\[(2-fluorine 18-labeled fluoroethyl)methylamino\]-2-naphthyl}ethylidene)malononitrile (\[F-18\]FDDNP) bound within the region of interest (ROI) divided by the amount of \[F-18\]FDDNP in the cerebellum (reference region). Higher ratios are indicative of higher levels of tau and amyloid proteins within the ROI. The unit of measure is called the Distribution Volume Ratio (DVR).
