Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Study With [11C]AZD2995 and [11C]AZD2184, Candidate PET Ligands for β Amyloid (PET)

January 22, 2009 updated by: AstraZeneca

Open Label Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Study With [11C]AZD2995 and [11C]AZD2184, Candidate PET Ligands for β Amyloid, to Determine and Compare in Vivo Brain Uptake and Distribution in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Alzheimer's Disease

The study is carried out in order to investigate if [11C]AZD2995, compared to [11C]AZD2184, is a more suitable PET ligand for in vivo imaging of β amyloid depositions in the human brain. In the study the two PET ligands will be examined in both healthy volunteers and patients with Alzheimer's Disease.
