First-in-Human Evaluation of an Astrocytic Glutamate Transporter (EAAT2) PET Tracer in the Brains of Healthy Controls and Patients With Dementia.
This is a first in human study that will assess the safety and diagnostic performance of [18F]RP-115 (fluorine-18 labeled RP115), a positron emission tomography (PET) agent. This agent has the potential to identify the early changes that occur in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
