ADVISe Trial Summary

This trial is studying inflammation in the brain in people with Alzheimer's disease to see how it is related to changes in the brain and symptoms.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 50 with or without Alzheimer's disease (AD), including those with vision or language difficulties, and typical memory issues. Participants must be fluent in English, able to give consent (or have a surrogate decision maker), and likely to follow the study plan. People with serious medical conditions, recent excessive research-related radiation exposure, immune system-suppressing medication use, other brain disorders besides AD, or MRI contraindications cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand how brain inflammation relates to Alzheimer's progression and symptoms by using imaging agents like 11C-ER176 and 18F-MK6240 PET scans along with an amyloid plaque detector called 18F-Florbetaben. It also involves a lumbar puncture procedure to examine spinal fluid.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include discomfort from the lumbar puncture such as back pain or headache; allergic reactions or irritation at the injection site from imaging agents; temporary redness or swelling; and risks associated with PET scans like minimal radiation exposure.
