Summary

The current protocol is to determine the biodistribution, metabolism, excretion and brain uptake of 11C-M503. The goal of this radiotracer is to quantify alpha-synuclein that is abnormally deposited in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Investigators will compare uptake in participants with PD versus participants with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), as well as non-Parkinsonism volunteers. This multicenter project funded by an NIH U19 grant, is centered at U Pennsylvania (Penn, Grant PI: Robert Mach) in collaboration with U Pittsburgh (Pitt) (non-clinical site) Yale U, U of California at San Francisco (UCSF) and Washington University in St. Louis (WU). The University of Pennsylvania will act as the sIRB for this multi-center human subjects project and participants will be recruited from all sites.
