NCT ID NCT07604116
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new radioactive tracer called SST001 that lights up on PET scans. Researchers want to see if it is safe and can help tell the difference between multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Parkinson's disease. The study will include 30 healthy volunteers and patients with these conditions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
SST001 (a radioactive tracer for PET imaging)
What this could lead to
If successful, SST001 could become a new tool to help doctors more accurately diagnose multiple system atrophy and Parkinson's disease using brain scans.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 30 people, focused on safety and imaging, not on treating the disease. It may not lead to a reliable diagnostic test.
