NCT ID NCT02736695
First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study used special brain scans (PET) to look at a protein called tau in people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The goal was to see how much tau buildup occurs in different types of these conditions. 81 adults with speech or behavior problems took part. The results help researchers understand these rare brain diseases better, but the study did not test any treatment.
