Testing a new imaging agent for the brain
This study tests a new radioactive dye called [18F]GATT-44 to see how well it can show a specific brain protein on a PET scan. It may help researchers better understand brain conditions in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You should not have a bleeding disorder or be taking blood thinners.
- You should not have claustrophobia (fear of tight spaces) or other conditions that make a scan hard.

This study tests a new way to take brain imaging scans (PET scans) using a very small amount of radioactive tracer. Researchers want to see if they can get clear pictures of your brain while reducing your radiation exposure compared to standard scans.
This trial studies how tau (a protein linked to Alzheimer’s and related conditions) shows up on a special brain scan called tau PET. It also uses MRI and blood work to understand brain changes and who may be at risk, helping researchers improve future diagnosis.
This study uses a special PET scan tracer to look at the protective coating of nerves in the brain. It aims to help doctors see and measure damage to this coating, which can happen in diseases like multiple sclerosis. The trial is open to healthy volunteers to test this new imaging method.
This study tests a new imaging agent that may help show immune activity in the body using a PET scan. It is being tested in healthy volunteers to see how it behaves and to help plan future studies.
This early-stage study tests a new PET imaging agent (a radioactive tracer used in medical imaging) to understand how it moves through the body and the radiation dose it delivers. Researchers need healthy volunteers to help establish whether this imaging tool is safe for future patient use.
This study tests a new, more comfortable head-only PET scanner that may be easier for patients to use. You can join if you are already getting a routine brain PET scan.
