NCT ID NCT02736695
First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study used a special brain scan (PET) to look at a protein called tau in people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Researchers wanted to see how much tau buildup was in different parts of the brain and if it matched the type of symptoms. 81 adults with these conditions took part. The goal was to better understand the disease, not to test a treatment.
