Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Pharmacokinetic

To assess whether we are able to visualize and quantify a difference in amyloid containing microclots between post-COVID patients and controls using total-body dynamic [18F]flutemetamol PET.

Secondary objectives 2

  1. To assess the association between amyloid-containing microclots on total-body dynamic [18F]flutemetamol PET with type and severity of post-COVID symptoms as assessed using questionnaires
  2. To assess the association between amyloid-containing microclots on total-body dynamic [18F]flutemetamol PET with cerebral blood flow as assessed using MRI.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

post-COVID syndrome (long COVID)

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 5

  1. The subject was diagnosed with symptomatic COVID-19, confirmed by a positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2.
  2. The subject is at least 12 months after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
  3. The subject is in the range 40-65 years of age (to ensure radiation safety).
  4. The subject has sufficient command of the Dutch language.
  5. The subject is able to undergo the (PET) scanning procedures.

Exclusion criteria 4

  1. The subject has other medical conditions linked to amyloid-formation, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or neurodegenerative disorders.
  2. The subject is unable to undergo scanning procedures due to for example claustrophobia, severe back pain or trypanophobia (fear of needles).
  3. The subject is using anti-coagulant drugs.
  4. The subject is a female of childbearing potential who is not surgically sterile, not refraining from sexual activity or not using reliable methods of contraception.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Quantitative measures of [18F]Flutemetamol binding throughout the body of participants, expressed in parameters such as volume of distribution (VT) or non displaceable binding potential (BPND) (depending on the most suitable kinetic model per region or tissue of interest (ROI)).

Secondary endpoints 3

  1. Amyloid-containing microclot load (size and quantity) in blood.
  2. Questionnaire scores on presence and severity of (post-COVID) symptoms
  3. MRI-derived parameters on brain structure and function.
