Evaluation of Inter-reader Reliability Using Images From Subjects With Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
- Registration Number
- NCT01565382
- Lead Sponsor
- Avid Radiopharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
Re-read of brain amyloid scans acquired in previous AV-45 clinical studies by readers trained using updated reading methodology. The scans in this study came from subjects who had Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

Group Intervention Description Independent, blinded reader trainees florbetapir F 18 Seven practicing nuclear medicine physicians with no prior training in reading scans from florbetapir-PET, or other amyloid imaging agents.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Inter-reader Agreement - Median Kappa Statistic 50-60 min after injection Seven readers blinded to all clinical information using the binary read methodology (amyloid positive/negative). Simple kappa statistics were calculated for each reader versus the other 6 readers. Primary outcome measure was the median kappa of each reader versus the other 6 readers.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Inter-reader Agreement - Fleiss' Kappa 50-60 min after injection Seven readers blinded to all clinical information using the binary read methodology (amyloid positive/negative). Fleiss' kappa was calculated across all inter-reader comparisons.
