First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new injection called [18F]-APN-1607 that helps a PET scan see harmful tau tangles in the brain, which are linked to Alzheimer's disease. About 316 adults aged 50 and older with normal memory, mild memory problems, or Alzheimer's dementia will get the injection and a brain scan. The goal is to see how well the scan can tell who has Alzheimer's-related changes, which could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
