SV2A-PET scans for early memory problem diagnosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses special PET scans (SV2A-PET/CT and PET/MRI) to see if they can help diagnose early memory changes, including Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). If you have early Alzheimer's or MCI, this could help find better ways to detect and track the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- If you have MCI, you or someone else should have noticed a change in your memory or thinking.
- You cannot have had a stroke or have other types of dementia like Parkinson's or Lewy body dementia.
- You must not be allergic to alcohol or be left-handed.
- You must be willing to have a PET/MRI scan and sign a consent form.

This study uses brain scans (PET) to look at changes in the brain that may be related to memory problems or Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve understanding of the disease and may help develop better treatments.
This extension study looks for predictors—measurable clues—linked to memory changes in older adults who feel their memory is worsening. You may be asked to have an amyloid PET scan, which can help researchers understand what might be driving memory concerns.
This early-phase study tests a new PET scan tracer that targets a brain chemical transport system involved in dementia. It aims to see if the tracer can safely and clearly show brain changes, which could help future dementia diagnosis or tracking.
This trial uses a special PET scan tracer to see if it can predict who will get worse over time. It is for people with mild memory or thinking problems that may be linked to past head injuries or early Alzheimer's disease.
This study compares two types of brain PET scans (tau and amyloid) to see which one better helps diagnose memory problems. You may be eligible if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia and your doctor has already ordered an amyloid PET scan.
This study uses MRI brain scans and memory tests to help detect early Alzheimer’s disease. It compares people with Alzheimer’s (diagnosed by a clinician) with people without memory problems to see which scan and test results stand out.
