Down Syndrome, Amyloid beta-protein

Phase II study of Florbetaben (BAY94-9172) PET imaging for detection/exclusion of cerebral β-amyloid in individuals with Down Syndrome compared to individuals without Down Syndrome

Trial purpose

To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the visual assessment of BAY94-9172 PET images in detecting cerebral β-amyloid in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) compared to individuals without DS. Given that individuals with Down Syndrome develop β-amyloid pathology over the age of 40, the clinical diagnosis of Down Syndrome will serve as the standard of truth.
