Molecular and Functional Imaging in Monogenic PD.

Sponsor: University of Exeter

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

In this study, the investigators aim to find a biomarker of Parkinson's disease. This is done using imaging scans called Positron Emission tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The findings will provide a deeper understanding of the brain changes in Parkinson's disease. More importantly, this study will help with the discovery and development of new medications aiming to delay progression of PD symptoms.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan using DASB tracer

DASB is a highly selective PET radioligand for serotonin transporter and is a reliable tool to investigate serotonin terminals and neurons. The included Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences serve to provide additional information plus complement PET data. To quantify dopaminergic pathology with \[123I\]FP-CIT SPECT,
