This AR reflects the CHMP opinion on 20 March 2014, which originally recommended to approve this medicine. The recommendation was conditional to the results of the on-going confirmatory study EC-FV-06. Before the marketing authorisation was granted by the EC, the results of this study became available and did not support the initial recommendation. Subsequently, the company decided to withdraw the application and not to pursue any longer the authorisation for marketing this product. The current report does not include the latest results of this study as the withdrawal of the application did not allow for the CHMP to revise its opinion in light of the new data. For further information please refer to the Q&A which followed the company’s withdrawal of the application. 30 Churchill Place ● Canary Wharf ● London E14 5EU ● United Kingdom Telephone +44 (0)20 3660 6000 Facsimile +44 (0)20 3660 5505 Send a question via our website www.ema.europa.eu/contact An agency of the European Union © European Medicines Agency, 2014.

  • The Role of 18F-Flortaucipir (AV-1451) in the Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Disorders

General Surgery, North Cumbria Integrated Care (NCIC), Carlisle, GBR Corresponding author: Saswata Roy, [email protected] Abstract Tau protein plays a vital role in maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the nervous system; however, hyperphosphorylation or abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders. The development of radioligand such as the 18F- flortaucipir (AV-1451) has provided us with the opportunity to assess the underlying tau pathology in various etiologies of dementia. For the purpose of this article, we aimed to evaluate the utility of 18F-AV- 1451 in the differential diagnosis of various neurodegenerative disorders. We used PubMed to look for the latest, peer-reviewed, and informative articles. The scope of discussion included the role of 18F-AV-1451 positron emission tomography (PET) to aid in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and Parkinson’s disease with dementia (PDD). We also discussed if the tau burden identified by neuroimaging correlated well with the clinical severity and identified the various challenges of 18F-AV-1451 PET.

  • Development and Evaluation of Radiotracers for Tumor Imaging Via
    Development and Evaluation of Radiotracers for Tumor Imaging via Positron Emission Tomography Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines “Doktor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.)“ im Promotionsfach Chemie Am Fachbereich Chemie, Pharmazie und Geowissenschaften der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz Kathrin Kettenbach geboren in Mainz Mainz, im Februar 2017 Dekan: Erster Berichterstatter: Zweiter Berichterstatter: Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 06.06.2017 Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde in der Zeit von 2013 bis 2017 am Institut für Kernchemie der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz angefertigt. „I hereby declare that I wrote the dissertation submitted without any unauthorized external assistance and used only sources acknowledged in this work. All textual passages which are appropriated verbatim or paraphrased from published and unpublished texts as well as information obtained from oral sources are duly indicated and listed in accordance with bibliographical rules. In carrying out this research, I complied with the rules of standard scientific practice as formulated in the statutes of Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz to insure standard scientific practice.” Mainz, Februar 2017 Abstract Positron emission tomography (PET) enables the non-invasive imaging of metabolical processes in the human body. Thus, the use of radiolabeled cancer-specific targeting vectors can facilitate early diagnosis of tumors. A robust and reliable attachment of the radionuclide to the bioactive compound without major influences on its pharmacokinetic behavior is mandatory for routine PET imaging. In the herein presented work two different 18F-prosthetic groups for the radiolabeling of biomolecule-azides via click chemistry were evaluated. First, a strained prosthetic group based on (aza)dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) was developed to enable copper-free strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloadditions (SPAAC) with biomolecule-azides.

  • Neuroimaging of Alzheimer's Disease: Focus on Amyloid and Tau
    Japanese Journal of Radiology (2019) 37:735–749 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11604-019-00867-7 INVITED REVIEW Neuroimaging of Alzheimer’s disease: focus on amyloid and tau PET Hiroshi Matsuda1 · Yoko Shigemoto2 · Noriko Sato2 Received: 23 July 2019 / Accepted: 28 August 2019 / Published online: 6 September 2019 © Japan Radiological Society 2019 Abstract Although the diagnosis of dementia is still largely a clinical one, based on history and disease course, neuroimaging has dra- matically increased our ability to accurately diagnose it. Neuroimaging modalities now play a wider role in dementia beyond their traditional role of excluding neurosurgical lesions and are recommended in most clinical guidelines for dementia. In addition, new neuroimaging methods facilitate the diagnosis of most neurodegenerative conditions after symptom onset and show diagnostic promise even in the very early or presymptomatic phases of some diseases. In the case of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates and intracellular tau neurofbrillary tangles are the two neuropathological hallmarks of the disease. Recent molecular imaging techniques using amyloid and tau PET ligands have led to preclinical diagnosis and improved diferential diagnosis as well as narrowed subject selection and treatment monitoring in clinical trials aimed at delaying or preventing the symptomatic phase of AD. This review discusses the recent progress in amyloid and tau PET imaging and the key fndings achieved by the use of this molecular imaging modality related to the respective roles of Aβ and tau in AD, as well as its specifc limitations. Keywords Dementia · Alzheimer’s disease · PET · Amyloid · Tau Introduction expected to reach 7 million in 2025, representing approxi- mately one in fve elderly people in Japan [3].
