Conditions
Summary
This current protocol will provide the key data to help determine the specificity of our to-be-developed radiotracers by implementing a multi-site diagnostic assessment core and PET imaging of A-beta amyloid (may be completed at some sites as part of another protocol) that is commonly deposited in the brains of people with Parkinson's Disease (PD), Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) or Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) as well as healthy controls. This multicenter U19 grant is centered at U Pennsylvania (U Penn) (PI: Robert Mach) in collaboration with U Pittsburgh (Pitt), Yale University, U of California at San Francisco (UCSF) and Washington University in St. Louis (WU). U Penn will act as the single IRB of Record (sIRB) for this multi-center project and subjects will be recruited from all sites.

Participants who are deemed unable to provide informed consent must have a designated Legally Authorized Representative(LAR) present for consent and a Study Partner to accompany them to study visits. The LAR and the Study Partner may be the same person.
- Clinical diagnoses for each cohort will be determined by consensus committee for diagnostic agreement (PD, MSA, PSP, FTD or Healthy control)
Exclusion Criteria8
- Females who are pregnant or breast feeding at the time of screening will be excluded
- Forms of parkinsonism other than PD, PSP and MSA as defined above
- Major psychiatric disorder (e.g. schizophrenia or bipolar disorder)
- History of significant or ongoing alcohol abuse or substance abuse or dependence based on medical record review or self-reported
- Contraindications or Inability to tolerate imaging, arterial line or IV placement or blood draw procedures in the opinion of an investigator or treating physician
- Implanted medical device or other contraindication to MRI
- Any current medical condition, illness, or disorder as assessed by medical record review and/or self-reported that is considered by a physician or investigator to be a condition that could compromise participant safety or successful participation in the study
- Refusal to consent to brain donation (except for HC cohort). All non-HC participants must agree to postmortem brain donation..
