NCT ID NCT03143374
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a special brain scan called PET to measure a protein called tau, which builds up in the brains of people with diseases like Alzheimer's and frontotemporal degeneration. Researchers will look at how tau buildup relates to memory and thinking problems over time. The goal is to better understand these diseases, not to test a new treatment.
