NCT ID NCT05464368
First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests three new radioactive dyes (tracers) that light up tau tangles in the brain on PET scans. Researchers want to see which tracer works best to tell apart people with Alzheimer's from healthy older adults. About 38 volunteers aged 50-100 will get up to three scans. The goal is to improve how doctors detect and track Alzheimer's disease.
