Neurodegenerative Diseases, Alzheimer Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Neurodegenerative Diseases focused on measuring [11C]MPC6827
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria (Healthy Volunteers)
- All volunteers must be 18 years of age or older, able to read, understand and voluntarily sign and informed consent document.
- Volunteers must have no current medical history of brain disease
- Negative pregnancy test if female of childbearing potential.
- Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry for the duration of study participation.
Inclusion Criteria (Alzheimer's Disease or ALS)
- All volunteers must be 18 years of age or older, able to read, understand and voluntarily sign and informed consent document.
- Subjects must have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease or ALS for which they are under a physician's care.
- Subjects must have a negative pregnancy test if female of childbearing potential
- Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry for the duration of the study participation.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants with evidence of brain disease other than ALS or Alzheimer's Disease at the time of enrolment up to agent administration are to be excluded from the study.
- Concomitant medication use that, in the judgement of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for enrolment.
- Severe concurrent disease, infection, or medical co-morbidity that, in the judgement of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for enrolment.
- Participants who are receiving other investigational radiation drugs.
- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding.
- Subjects who are unable to tolerate PET/CT imaging

Patients with Neurodegenerative Disorders
In the first stage, five healthy human subjects will receive a microdose (10 µg) of [11C]MPC6827, immediately followed by whole body PET/CT to determine dosimetry and perform an initial safety evaluation of the radiotracer. A dose of 20 mCi [11C]MPC6827 will be administered and serial whole body PET scans will be acquired up to 2 hours post injection.
Up to 30 patients with neurodegenerative disorders will receive a microdose (10 µg) of [11C]MPC6827 and be imaged dynamically for up to 90 minutes using PET/CT for research purposes.
