Primary Endpoints

Summary of Sensitivity of the Blinded Visual PET Image Interpretations Without Anatomic Images.
Post flutemetamol administration

Statistical analysis of summary of the blinded visual PET Image Interpretations without Anatomic Images. This data consists of image interpretations by 5 Readers and No subjects were dosed in this study. These Readers examined the PET images for evidence of amyloid plaque.

Summary of Specificity of Blinded Visual PET Image Interpretations Without Anatomic Images.
Post flutemetamol administration

Statistical analysis of summary of sensitivity of blinded visual PET image interpretations without anatomic images. This data consists of image interpretations by 5 Readers and No subjects were dosed in this study.These Readers examined the PET images for evidence of amyloid plaque.

Number of Brain Scans in Healthy Young Adults Subjects Which do Not Show Amyloid
PET scans performed on patients 90 minutes post Flutemetmol Administration

The visual assessment of Flutemetamol PET image was performed by independent readers trained in the evaluation of PET brain amyloid imaging. The measure would consisted of the number of brain scans with amyloid (abnormal reading) or without amyloid (normal reading).

The Sensitivity of Blinded Visual Interpretations of [18F]Flutemetamol Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Images Without Anatomic Brain Images for Detecting Brain Fibrillar Amyloid β.
Post flutemetamol administration.

A calculation used to assess Sensitivity was (Number of Blinded Reads determined abnormal by Reader "N") divided by the (Total number of abnormal participants). Blinded visual interpretations of \[18F\]flutemetamol Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images without anatomic brain images for detecting brain fibrillar amyloid β.

Hazard Ratio (HR) by PET Scan Readers for Conversion to Probable Alzheimer's Disease Based on Visual Image Interpretation.
Up to 36 months post flutemetamol administration

Visual Interpretation of the PET scan by independent readers. Note: The statistic Hazard ratio (HR) is the ratio of the hazard rates in the 2 groups (1 group being normal (negative for amyloid B) and 1 group being abnormal (positive for amyloid B). Under the null hypothesis of equal rates, the HR would be equal to 1. As the HR increases above 1, the chances of being probable Alzheimer's Disease (pAD) also increases. Note: Eight Subjects who withdrew prior to the first Clinical Adjudication Committee (CAC) evaluation are not included in the analysis. (232 - 8 = 224 Subjects included).

Quantitative Estimates of Brain Uptake [18F]Flutemetamol and the Quantitative Immunohistochemical (IHC) Estimates of Amyloid Levels in Biopsy Samples Previously Obtained.
Post-contrast administration

Radiotracers have enabled the in-vivo imaging of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain, one of the histopathologic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Standardized uptake value ratio SUVR)is the quantitive measure of specific tracer uptake, normalized for the non-specific mean uptake in a reference region. SUVR is calculated as SUV\_voi/SUV\_ref with SUV being the integrated activity over a given time period for the volume of interest (SUV\_voi) or reference region (SUV\_ref). VOI means volume of interest and REF means reference region.

Comparsion Between Brain Uptake of [18F] Flutemetamol Amyloid Level From Immunohistochemistry Assay and a Stained Biopsy Tissue Specimen.
Post-contrast administration

This was an amyloid level estimate measured by Immunohistochemistry assay to determine the percentage of plaque area for mAb NAB228. The Immuno-histo chemical reagent was monoclonal antibody (mAB) NAB228. This is a percentage of the area of the biopsy tissue specimen that stains positive for amyloid using NAB228.

Blinded Visual Assessment of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging and Clinical Diagnosis by Non-Japanese Readers
Up to 90 minutes after investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration

The performance of Flutemetanol F 18 injection in participants was determined by evaluation of the level of association between the blinded visual assessment of a participant's brain image and the participant's clinical diagnosis by 5 non-Japanese readers, who classified each participant's images as either normal or abnormal (raised) Flutemetanol F 18 uptake.

Blinded Visual Assessment of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging and Clinical Diagnosis by Japanese Readers
Up to 90 minutes after IMP administration

The performance of Flutemetanol F 18 injection in participants was determined by evaluation of the level of association between the blinded visual assessment of a participant's brain image and the participant's clinical diagnosis by 5 Japanese readers, who classified each participant's images as either normal or abnormal (raised) Flutemetanol F 18 uptake.

Frequently asked questions about Flutemetamol

What is Flutemetamol used for?

Flutemetamol is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in neurology, specifically for conditions including mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, healthy subjects, normal pressure hydrocephalus, and brain fibrillar levels. It is a positron emission tomography (PET) amyloid imaging agent under development by GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (GEHC).

What does Flutemetamol target?

Flutemetamol is a PET amyloid imaging agent, meaning it is designed to bind to amyloid plaques in the brain for visualization via positron emission tomography. It is being studied to assess its prognostic usefulness in identifying subjects with amnestic mild cognitive impairment who may convert to clinically probable Alzheimer's disease.

Who makes Flutemetamol?

Flutemetamol is being developed by GE HealthCare Technologies Inc., traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker GEHC. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's use in PET amyloid imaging of the brain across various patient populations.

What phase is Flutemetamol in?

Flutemetamol is in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed two Phase 3 trials and one Phase 2 trial, with no active trials currently ongoing. The drug remains investigational and has not been reported as approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is Flutemetamol in?

Flutemetamol has completed several clinical trials, including NCT01028053, a Phase 3 study assessing its prognostic usefulness in amnestic mild cognitive impairment conversion to Alzheimer's disease, and NCT01265394, a Phase 3 PET amyloid imaging study in healthy young adults. Additional completed trials include NCT01672827 and NCT02813070.

Is Flutemetamol the same as [18F]Flutemetamol?

Yes, Flutemetamol is also known as [18F]Flutemetamol, as referenced in clinical trial NCT01672827, which evaluates an electronic training program for orienting and interpreting [18F]Flutemetamol PET images. This alternative name is used in scientific literature and trial documentation.
