Evaluation of [18F] FEPPA and PET Imaging as a Marker of Inflammation in Subjects With Neurological Conditions

NCT00970333 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 3

Last updated 2012-02-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Ultimately a marker of microglial activation could be used for large-scale quantitative brain imaging trials in Alzheimer Disease (AD), Parkinson Disease (PD) or Multiple Sclerosis (MS), specifically to investigate the agent as an objective biomarker in treatments aimed at reducing inflammatory changes in these conditions. The significance of this work lies in applying state-of-art quantitative neuroimaging tools to develop a relevant biomarker in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases with the intention of using this efficiently in large clinical imaging trials.
