To understand the predictive ability of PiB PET imaging for neurodegenerative diseases.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, open label, non-therapeutic, diagnostic imaging study. The purpose of this study is to utilize Pittsburgh Compound B positron emission imaging (PiB PET) to ascertain the relationship between change in amyloid burden over time, and concurrent change in clinical status.

Detailed Description

Identification of risk factors and biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease is essential in caring for the growing numbers of elderly. Imaging biomarkers provide non-invasive ways to look at brain function. A new PET imaging agent, Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB), that identifies brain amyloid is an exciting development in brain imaging that needs to be studied. We plan to study this imaging technique in normal volunteers and patients with a variety of neurodegenerative diseases to determine its utility. Long term followup of these subjects will allow us to understand the predictive ability of this new test.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

To understand the predictive ability of PiB PET imaging for neurodegenerative diseases.

Time Frame: up to 20 years

Secondary Outcomes

  • To identify the relationship between amyloid burden and the risk of progression from CN at baseline to MCI.(up to 20 years)
  • Using PiB-PET, to ascertain cross-sectionally the magnitude and the spatial distribution of amyloid deposition in the brain in subjects who are clinically classified as CN, MCI, and demented.(up to 20 years)
  • To identify the relationship between amyloid burden and the risk of progression from MCI at baseline to dementia.(up to 20 years)
  • To measure longitudinal change in amyloid burden and cognition and characterize the correlation between change on serial PiB-PET measures vs. FDG measures and concurrent change on continuous measures of cognitive performance.(up to 20 years)
