About this trial

This is an open-label, single-center Phase 1 study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and test-retest characteristics of \[11C\]MODAG-005, an investigational positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) radioligand intended to image pathological alpha-synuclein deposition in the brain. The study will enroll participants with Parkinson's disease (PD), participants with multiple system atrophy (MSA), and age-matched healthy controls (AMHC).

Participants with PD or MSA will undergo two \[11C\]MODAG-005 PET/CT imaging sessions: one baseline scan and one follow-up scan 7 to 48 days later. Age-matched healthy controls will undergo one baseline scan. A subset of PD and MSA participants will receive a single oral dose of anle138b (Emrusolmin) before the second scan to evaluate tracer uptake under blocking conditions. The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of \[11C\]MODAG-005. Secondary objectives include evaluating whether \[11C\]MODAG-005 PET imaging can distinguish participants with MSA or PD from age-matched healthy controls, distinguish PD from MSA, and determine test-retest variability of PET outcome measures.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Key inclusion criteria: Patients with MSA fulfilling both the criteria for probable MSA (Gilman et al., 2008) and clinically established MSA (Wenning et al., 2022), patients with PD fulfilling the criteria for clinically established PD (Postuma et al., 2015) or age-matched healthy controls (AMHC).

Disqualifiers

Laboratory tests with clinically significant abnormalities and/or clinically significant unstable medical illness equivalent to CTC v5.0 (common toxicity criteria) toxicities greater than grade 2.

Evidence of clinically significant disease that is expected to interfere with cognitive assessments or the ability to complete the trial procedures as judged by the investigator.

Clinically significant renal and hepatic dysfunction as judged by the investigator.

Known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients of [11C]MODAG-005 solution for injection.
