Drug: Florbetaben (BAY94-9172)

Single intravenous injection 1-5ml, 300 MBq (+/- 20%)

Plazo: 90-110 minutes post injection (PET image acquisition)

The sensitivity/specificity of the visual assessment were calculated based on the majority read assessment of regional tracer uptake. This result was derived from assessments by 3 independent readers for brain regions of a subject where a Standard of Truth (SOT) was available. The SOT for this analysis was a centralized histopathological determination of β-amyloid presence/absence based on both Bielschowsky silver and immunohistochemical staining. Based on the PET images, a brain region was classified as "normal" or "abnormal" depending on the presence or absence of regional tracer uptake in the respective region. "Normal" therefore meant absence of β-amyloid and "abnormal" presence of β-amyloid. Sensitivity was defined as the percentage of abnormal brain regions from all regions where an SOT was available and the SOT was "β-amyloid present". Specificity was defined as the percentage of normal brain regions from all regions where an SOT was available and was "β-amyloid not present".

Sensitivity and specificity of the whole brain visual assessment were calculated. Any brain with a region classified as abnormal from PET imaging was to be classified as abnormal for the "whole brain" assessment. This result was derived from assessments by 3 independent readers for a subject where a Standard of Truth (SOT) was available. The SOT for this analysis was based on a centralized histopathological assessment of the presence/absence of β-amyloid based on Bielschowsky silver staining (SOT 1).

The sensitivity was defined as the proportion of brains classified as abnormal from all brains where this SOT was available and was "β-amyloid present". The specificity was defined as the proportion of brains classified as normal from all brains where this SOT was available and was "β-amyloid not present".

This result was derived from assessments by 3 independent readers for a subject where a Standard of Truth (SOT) was available. The SOT for this analysis was based on a centralized histopathological assessment of the presence/absence of β-amyloid based on Bielschowsky silver staining and immunohistochemistry (SOT 2).

The sensitivity was defined as the proportion of brains classified as abnormal from all brains where this SOT was available and was "β-amyloid present". The specificity was defined as the proportion of brains classified as normal from all brains where this SOT was available and was "β-amyloid not present".

This result was derived from assessments by 3 independent readers for a subject where a Standard of Truth (SOT) was available. The SOT for this analysis was based on a histopathological assessment of the presence/absence of β-amyloid according to CERAD Criteria (SOT 3).

The sensitivity was defined as the proportion of brains classified as abnormal from all brains where this SOT was available and was "β-amyloid present". The specificity was defined as the proportion of brains classified as normal from all brains where this SOT was available and was "β-amyloid not present".

Sensitivity and specificity of subject level composite Standard Uptake Value Ratios (SUVR) by SOT for subjects with available brain tissue and 10 healthy volunteers. The SUVR were determined as a quantitative measure of tracer uptake. The SUV is defined as the ratio of the tissue radioactivity concentration c (in MBq/kg) at time point t, and the injected activity (in MBq), extrapolated to the same time (t) divided by the body weight (in kg). SUV numbers were then used to derive SUV ratios (SUVR) using the SUV from the cerebellar cortex as reference. SOTs comprised Bielschowsky silver staining (SOT 1), Bielschowsky silver staining with immunohistochemistry (SOT 2) and neuropathology assessment according to CERAD (SOT 3). SUVR analysis was performed for baseline and available follow-up scans. The optimal threshold for the distinction between β-amyloid present yes/no according to the respective SOT was derived based on ROC curve analyses and used to calculate sensitivity and specificity.

Plazo: 90-110 minutes post injection (PET image acquisition)

Subject level composite SUVRs (calculated as mean of SUVRs from the frontal, parietal, lateral temporal, anterior and posterior cingulate, and occipital cortices) by SOT are reported for subjects with available brain tissue. The initial drug administration group includes additionally 10 healthy controls who were considered as ß-amyloid negative. The SOTs for deceased subjects were based on Bielschowsky silver staining (SOT 1), Bielschowsky silver staining in combination with immunohistochemistry (SOT 2) and neuropathology assessment according to CERAD (SOT 3). SUVR analysis was performed for baseline and available follow-up scans.
