Comparing PET scans for early Parkinson's detection
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests two different PET scan resolutions to see which is better at detecting signs of early Parkinson's. It is for people who are already part of a Parkinson's research study and may help improve early diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be part of the PPMI 015 sub study for early Parkinson's.
- You must be able to give your own consent to participate.
- You must not have any medical or psychiatric condition that would make participation unsafe.

This trial uses a special brain scan (PET scan) to look at early changes in people who have early signs of Parkinson's disease. The goal is to learn more about how Parkinson's develops over time.
This study tests a new PET scan tracer called [18F]AV-133 to see if it can track Parkinson's disease over time. The scan may help doctors better understand the disease, and you would be part of the PPMI research program.
This research study tests a new type of brain scan (called a PET scan) that may help detect early signs of Parkinson's disease and similar conditions. You'll receive the scan and may have a spinal tap to check for specific protein markers.
This trial uses a special PET scan to see how a new imaging agent (called 11C-M503) travels through the body and brain. It may help researchers better understand brain conditions like Parkinson's disease.
This study uses a new PET scan tracer called [11C]SY08 to take pictures of the brain in people with Parkinson's, multiple system atrophy, or dementia with Lewy bodies. It aims to see if this tracer can help better understand and tell apart these conditions.
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.
