Name AMYPAD
Long Name Amyloid imaging to prevent Alzheimer’s disease
Description Amyloid imaging to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Deposits of beta amyloid protein in the brain are a common sign of Alzheimer’s disease. AMYPAD will study the value of using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to scan people’s brains for beta amyloid deposits. AMYPAD will carry out beta amyloid PET imaging on an unprecedented number of people who are suspected to be in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The goal is to determine the clinical added value of PET imaging in diagnosis and patient monitoring, and to develop data to establish its usefulness in clinical trials. AMYPAD will work closely with IMI’s EPAD project, which is working to increase our understanding of the early stages of dementia and creating a platform to test treatments designed to prevent dementia.
Objectives 1. Improve the diagnostic workup of patients suspected to have AD (3) and their management. 2. Understand the natural history of AD in a pre‐symptomatic stage in order to better select patients for trials. 3. Monitor change in β‐amyloid deposition to quantify the impact of novel therapies.

Title Description Type Project  
Diagnostic and Prognostic study (DPMS)

The AMYPAD DPMS will select and follow-up a memory clinic population suspected of possible AD, focusing on those with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia where AD is in the differential diagnosis (900 subjects in 3 strata: SCD plus, MCI, dementia possibly due to AD), to determine the usefulness of β-amyloid imaging with regards to diagnostic confidence, decision trees, change in diagnosis, and alterations between planned and actual patient management plans. There are 8 active sites, 617 reserach participants and 408 scans performed (Last update January 2020). For more information please visit:

Prognostic and Natural History study (PNHS)

The AMYPAD PNHS will select and follow-up a natural history population ranging from cognitively normal, through subjective cognitive decline (SCD) towards mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to early AD to better understand the natural history of the early disease phases and to evaluate the value of quantitative PET amyloid imaging measures for predicting progression within an Alzheimer's disease risk probability spectrum based on quantitative PET amyloid imaging measures, with or without other biomarkers through an intimate collaboration with EPAD and other non-EPAD cohorts. There are 9 active sites, 2 parent cohorts, 378 research participants and 297 scans performed (Last update January 2020). For more information, please visit:

Neuroimaging datasets from the AMYPAD PNHS and DPMS studies

AMYPAD's PET and MRI imaging data set releases will be made available via collaborative workspaces. These data set releases will only include de-identified and cleaned data, from the Diagnostic and Patient Management Study (DPMS) and the Prognostic and Natural History Study (PNHS). Recruitment of the DPMS should be completed in 2020, with results expected in 2021. The data management activities have been started to ensure a clean dataset for the next step of data analysis. Recruitment of the PNHS is ongoing. The AMYPAD PNHS data will be made publicly available in the future. In line with the EPAD project, data locks will occur at least at V.1000, V.1500 and V.2000. Information on the PNHS data dictionary can be found here: https://amypad.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/AMYPAD-PNHS-Parent-Cohort-Data-Dictionary-v0.1.pdf.

NiftyPET

"NiftyPET is an open source software solution for standalone and high-throughput PET image reconstruction and analysis. The key computational routines are written in CUDA C for fast and efficient processing on NVIDIA GPU devices. The routines are then embedded in Python C extensions to be readily available for high level programming in Python. The purpose of this software platform is to enable rapid processing of raw data as wells as image data for fully controlled quantitative PET image reconstruction and analysis. NiftyPET includes two stand-alone and independent Python packages: nipet and nimpa, which are dedicated to high-throughput image reconstruction and analysis. Strong emphasis is put on the data, which are acquired using positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance (MR), especially the hybrid and simultaneous PET/MR scanners."
