Flutemetamol F 18 Injection Formulation Comparison
What this study is about
VIZAMYL (flutemetamol F 18 injection) is a drug used during Positron Emission Tomography (PET) brain scans. It helps doctors detect the presence of amyloid protein, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and other conditions affecting memory or thinking. A new formulation of this drug, called GE-287, has been developed.
View original scientific description
VIZAMYL (flutemetamol F 18 injection) is a drug used during Positron Emission Tomography (PET) brain scans. It helps doctors detect the presence of amyloid protein, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and other conditions affecting memory or thinking. A new formulation of this drug, called GE-287, has been developed. This new formulation may offer advantages for patient tolerability and can be produced more reliably and efficiently. The aim of the study is to determine whether the new formulation works as well as the current one in identifying amyloid in the brain, how it distributes in the body, and whether it is safe for use. The study will measure how much of the study drug goes to different organs (including the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys) and monitor for any side effects.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- The participant is at least 50 years of age
- The participant (or a legally authorized representative of the participant) has read, signed, and dated an informed consent form (ICF) before any study procedures are performed.
- The participant has been referred for PET imaging with VIZAMYL (flutemetamol F 18 injection) to estimate amyloid β neuritic plaque density for a) evaluation of suspected AD or other causes of cognitive decline and/or b) assessment of participant eligibility for amyloid β-directed therapy for MCI or mild AD as described in the prescribing information of the therapeutic products.
- The participant is able and willing to comply with all study procedures, including lying supine and still in the PET scanner for at least 60 minutes (approximately 2.5 hours total per imaging session, including a break that will be approximately 30 minutes).
- The participant is surgically sterile (has had documented bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, hysterectomy, bilateral orchidectomy, and/or vasectomy with confirmation of success), postmenopausal (cessation of menses for more than 1 year), or:
- If the participant can become pregnant, the participant must:
- use a highly effective method of contraception from Screening until 30 days after the last dose of flutemetamol F 18 injection,
- have negative results for serum or urine human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy tests performed at Screening and on the imaging days (with the result known before each administration), and
- agree not to harvest or donate eggs until at least 30 days after the last dose of IMP.
- If the participant can impregnate another person and has a sexual partner who can become pregnant, the participant and partner must use adequate contraception from Screening until 90 days after the last dose of flutemetamol F 18 injection, and the participant must agree not to harvest or donate sperm from screening through 90 days after the last dose of flutemetamol F 18 injection. If the participant has a sexual partner who is already pregnant, both the participant and the partner must provide written informed consent, and both must agree to abstain from any form of sexual contact for at least 24 hours after flutemetamol F 18 injection administration, and both must agree that once sexual contact resumes, they will use condoms until at least 90 days after administration of the last dose of flutemetamol F 18 injection.
Exclusion criteria
- The participant received or plans to receive another IMP within 30 days before signing informed consent until the end of participation in this study.
- The participant has been treated with, or is being treated with, any medicinal product (drug, biologic, or device) believed to be disease-modifying with regard to MCI or AD (such as an anti-amyloid drug), or initiation of such a medical product cannot be postponed until the participant is no longer in this study.
- Including participation in this study, the participant will have received \>50 mSv total radiation exposure from medical procedures/tests in the past 12 months.
- The participant has had a procedure (therapeutic or diagnostic) involving a radioisotope and it is not possible to wait at least 4 disintegration half-lives before PET imaging.
- The participant has a measured or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on eligibility serum laboratory assessments.
- The participant has a total bilirubin level \>1.5X the upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or an aspartate transaminase (AST; serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) level \>3X ULN, and/or an alanine transaminase (ALT, serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase \[SGPT\]) level \>3X ULN based on eligibility serum laboratory assessments.
- Except for the participant's cognitive impairment, the participant has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study, interfere with participation for the full duration of the study, or put the participant at undue risk as judged by the investigator, such that it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate in this study.
- The participant has known/suspected structural abnormalities such as a space-occupying lesion or medical devices such as stents, coils, or electrodes in any key region that may interfere with PET imaging or interpretation/analysis of image data.
- The participant is pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or lactating.
- The participant has known or suspected diabetes.
- The participant is not willing or able to fast completely (except for water and any required medications) for at least 6 hours before administration of IMP until after the post-dose blood samples have been collected on each imaging day.
- The participant has known or suspected allergy or hypersensitivity to either IMP or any of their ingredients (including PS80).
- The participant was previously enrolled in this study.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
