Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Qualitative Amyloid Image Assessment
50-60 min after injection

Five readers blinded to all clinical information classified florbetapir-Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images as either positive for amyloid or negative for amyloid. The majority read was the primary efficacy endpoint for the qualitative evaluation.

Mean Cortical to Cerebellum SUVR
50-60 min after injection

Standardized Uptake Value ratio (SUVR) is the ratio of tracer uptake in predefined cortical regions, relative to uptake in the whole cerebellum.

Frequently asked questions about florbetapir

What is florbetapir used for in Alzheimer's Disease?

Florbetapir is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in Alzheimer's Disease. It is a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent that was evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial in Japan involving healthy volunteers, patients with mild cognitive impairment, and patients with Alzheimer's Disease.

What does florbetapir target?

Florbetapir is a PET imaging agent designed to bind to amyloid plaques in the brain, which are a hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease. By targeting these plaques, florbetapir is intended to enable visual detection of amyloid pathology through PET imaging, aiding in the evaluation of patients with cognitive impairment.

Who makes florbetapir?

Florbetapir is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LLY. The company is conducting clinical research on this imaging agent for potential use in Alzheimer's Disease.

What phase is florbetapir in?

Florbetapir is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 2 trial has been completed, and the drug remains under investigation for its potential use in Alzheimer's Disease imaging.

What clinical trials is florbetapir in?

Florbetapir has one completed clinical trial, registered as NCT01662882. This Phase 2 study evaluated florbetapir (18F) PET imaging in Japan in healthy volunteers, patients with mild cognitive impairment, and patients with Alzheimer's Disease. The trial enrolled 48 participants and was a controlled study.

Is florbetapir the same as Amyvid?

Florbetapir is also known as Amyvid, a brand name for the same compound. The drug is a radioactive diagnostic agent used with PET imaging to estimate amyloid neuritic plaque density in the brain. It is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company for use in Alzheimer's Disease evaluation.
