NCT ID NCT07348276

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase study tests two new imaging drugs, [18F]ABBV-964i and [18F]ABBV-965i, designed to light up tau protein buildup in the brain during a PET scan. Tau buildup is linked to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), a rare movement and thinking disorder. The trial includes up to 24 adults (healthy volunteers and people with PSP) to check safety, radiation exposure, and how well the drugs show tau in the brain. Better imaging could help diagnose PSP earlier and track disease progression.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
[18F]ABBV-964i and [18F]ABBV-965i (imaging drugs used in PET scans)
What this could lead to
If successful, these imaging drugs could help doctors see tau buildup in the brain, leading to earlier and more accurate diagnosis of PSP and better tools for tracking the disease.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (24 people) focused on safety and imaging quality, not treatment. The drugs may not work as hoped, and results may not apply to larger groups.
