Abstract
BACKGROUND: The dopamine transporter striatal binding ratio (DAT SBR) has been used as an outcome measure in Parkinson's disease (PD) trials of potential disease-modifying therapies; however, both patient characteristics and analysis approach potentially complicate its interpretation. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to explore how well DAT SBR reflects PD motor severity across different striatal subregions and the relationship to disease duration, and side of onset. METHODS: DAT SBR for the anterior and posterior putamen and caudate in both hemispheres was obtained using validated automated quantitative software on baseline scans of 132 patients recruited for the Exenatide PD2 and PD3 trials. Associations between mean and lateralized SBR subregions (posterior and anterior putamen and caudate) and summed and lateralized motor characteristics were explored using regression analysis. Analyses were repeated considering disease duration and limiting analysis to the less-affected hemisphere. RESULTS: Lateralized bradykinesia was most consistently associated with the loss of DAT uptake in the contralateral anterior putamen. There was much higher variance in the posterior putamen, and in all regions in those with longer duration disease, although bradykinesia remained robustly associated with anterior putaminal DAT uptake even in longer-duration patients. Restricting analyses to the less-affected side did not usefully reduce the variance compared to the overall cohort. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that DAT SBR could be a useful biomarker in disease-modifying trials, but a focus on anterior striatal subregions and incorporating disease duration into analyses may improve its utility.
