An Open-Label, Non-Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of BAY94-9172 (ZK 6013443) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for Detection of Cerebral ß-Amyloid in Individuals With Down Syndrome Compared to Individuals Without Down Syndrome
To determine the sensitivity of the visual assessment of BAY94-9172 PET images in detecting cerebral β-amyloid in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) and specificity in 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.

Conditions
- Down Syndrome
- Amyloid Beta-protein
Interventions
- Florbetaben (BAY94-9172)
Primary outcomes
- Sensitivity of the Independent Visual Assessment of Detecting Cerebral Amyloid-beta in Individuals With Down Syndrome and Specificity in Subjects Without Down Syndrome — 100-120 min
The primary variables are sensitivity (percentage of DS subjects positive for cerebral beta-amyloid) and specificity (percentage of healthy volunteers negative for cerebral beta-amyloid) of brain uptake of florbetaben based on the majority read of the visual assessment by three independent blinded readers of PET images obtained 100 to 120 minutes post-injection of florbetaben.
