Ultralow Dose PET Imaging of 18F-Florbetapir, 18F-Flutemetamol

Evaluation of Ultralow Dose PET Imaging for Detecting Amyloid Tracer Uptake


Sponsor

Akiva Mintz

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

May 20, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an investigational ultralow dose Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging technique for Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, other forms of dementia detection and monitoring. The main question it aims to answer is: Can the investigators optimize the timing, scan duration, and image reconstruction to reduce the radiation dose 10-100 fold of the current clinical standard? Participants will be injected with a radioactive tracer called Fluorine-18 (18F)-Florbetapir or 18F-Flutemetamol and be imaged on a new type of high-sensitivity PET scanner for up to 3 hours

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing ultralow-dose versions of two PET scan tracers — 18F-florbetapir and 18F-flutemetamol — used to detect amyloid plaques in the brain (a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease), to see if much smaller doses can produce equally useful images with less radiation exposure. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You are able to provide informed consent and follow study procedures - Women of childbearing potential must not be pregnant and must have a negative pregnancy test **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already received radiation doses close to the annual research limit from prior studies - You have enrolled in this specific study more than four times before - You are claustrophobic in ways that prevent lying in a scanner - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
