PET Imaging Study Using [11C]PIB in Subjects With AD & Healthy Volunteers
- Registration Number
- NCT01826110
- Lead Sponsor
- Johns Hopkins University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the radiotracer \[11C\] PIB in participants with probably Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and healthy age-matched controls.
- Detailed Description
The objectives of the study are:
1. To perform PET scans with \[11C\]PIB to use for direct (i.e., same-subjects) comparison of \[11C\]PIB and \[18F\]AV-45
2. To establish the most effective and reliable PET imaging method to detect amyloid deposition in AD, in order to understand disease progression and subsequently evaluate treatment effects.
3. To ascertain a PET imaging method that will minimize discomfort for subjects, thus increasing the potential for clinical follow-up scans, by reducing the patient burden and potential cost of future PET examinations.
A separate protocol/study will be conducted using \[18F\] AV-45. Participants who enroll in this protocol using \[11C\] PIB will be consented to participate in the \[18F\] AV-45 (IRB # NA_00033155) protocol/study as it is a mandatory requirement that participants participate in both protocols.Up to 20 participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease and 10 healthy volunteers will participate in this study.
