Scientists map toxic protein in rare brain disease

NCT ID NCT02605785

Summary

This study aims to better understand Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), a rare brain disorder, by measuring how much tau protein builds up in patients' brains. Researchers will use special brain scans to track 332 participants with PSP over time. The goal is to learn how tau protein changes as the disease progresses, which could help future research but doesn't provide direct treatment benefits to participants.
