New brain scan tracer could shed light on brain chemistry
NCT ID NCT07457736
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new radioactive tracer called [18F]GATT-44 to see how well it can image GABA transporters in the brain using PET scans. The goal is to understand how the tracer moves through the body and binds to brain cells, and to measure the radiation exposure. About 32 healthy adults aged 18 to 60 will participate. This is not a treatment study—it aims to improve future brain research and diagnostic tools.
