Summary
This trial aims to create a radiotracer to accurately detect brain diseases such as Parkinson's, Multiple System Atrophy, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and Frontotemporal Dementia. It is a multicenter trial with U Penn, Pitt, Yale, UCSF, and WU.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 40-85 with Parkinson's Disease, Multiple System Atrophy, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Frontotemporal Dementia or healthy controls. They must understand the study and consent to participate. Pregnant women and those with major psychiatric disorders or substance abuse issues are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial tests new radiotracers' specificity using diagnostic assessments like neurologic exams and brain scans (Amyloid PET and MRI) across multiple sites including U Penn, Pitt, Yale University, UCSF, and WU.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from the imaging procedures such as headaches or nausea post-scan. Allergic reactions to contrast agents used in MRI/PET scans could occur but are rare.
