Brain scan study for Alzheimer's research
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already be enrolled in the Alzheimer's Disease Resource Center (ADRC).
- You should be able to attend all study visits and complete tests in English or Spanish.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You should not have conditions like claustrophobia or severe obesity that would make a brain scan difficult.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using a very low dose of radiation for a brain PET scan can still give clear images. If you are eligible, you will get a type of radioactive tracer that helps show amyloid plaques in the brain, often used in Alzheimer's research.
This study tests a new PET brain scan that uses a special dye to show amyloid plaques, which are linked to Alzheimer's disease. It may help doctors see if your memory problems are caused by Alzheimer's or something else.
This trial looks for signs of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain by using memory and thinking tests, and related study procedures. It may help researchers find better ways to identify Alzheimer’s-related changes earlier.
This study tests a PET scan “tracer” medicine called [18F]MK-6240 to see how tau protein changes show up in the brain. It may help researchers measure disease-related brain changes in people with normal thinking or mild dementia.
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.
