Dementia with lewy bodies (DLB)

This early-phase study tests a new radioactive tracer called [18F]ACI-15916, designed to detect clumps of α-synuclein protein in the brain using PET scans. These protein deposits are linked to Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and dementia with Lewy bodies. The trial …

This observational study follows 500 people with atypical parkinsonian syndromes, including multiple system atrophy, dementia with Lewy bodies, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration. Researchers track motor and non-motor symptoms and imaging changes every …

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are building a large repository of blood, DNA, and family history data from people with age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS, as well as their family members. The goal is to support studies into the geneti…

This observational study is recruiting 600 participants to improve detection and understanding of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Researchers will collect clinical data, brain scans, and spinal fluid samples from people with early symptoms like hallucinations or movement problem…

This study uses a new ultra-high-resolution PET scanner to take detailed pictures of the brain and spinal cord in 300 healthy volunteers and people with conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and psychotic disorders. The goal is to understand how small brain regions chang…
