NCT ID NCT07611357
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a special full-body PET scan to look for activated T cells (a type of immune cell) in the brain and body of people with Alzheimer's disease. Ten participants with Alzheimer's and some healthy volunteers will get the scan to compare results. The goal is to better understand how the immune system may be involved in Alzheimer's, not to test a treatment.
