Clinical Trials

Inclusion Criteria:

• Males or females 60 years of age or older.
• Meet the requirements for one of the four groups (CU A−, CU A+, MCI A+, AD A+).
• Neurologic evaluation procedures with testing in the MCSA or ADRC or Mayo Clinic Behavioral Neurology Practice. Must have had or plan to have at least 2 testing sessions.
• All participants must complete an amyloid PiB PET scan and MRI brain scan within approximately 6 months prior to the ER176 PET/CT scan.
• Capacity to sign consent or have a legally authorized representative to sign the consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants unable to lie down without moving for 20 minutes.
• Women who are pregnant or cannot stop breast feeding for 24 hours.
• Actively taking daily anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs, corticosteroids, etc.) except for a small control group. Anti-inflammatory creams, eye drops, and nasal sprays are not exclusions.
• Generalized inflammatory condition and treatment with immunosuppressive, corticoid/glucocorticoid, steroidal or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication within 2 weeks of scanning (only acute medication use as an exclusion so as to limit medication interaction but preserve possible chronic systemic inflammation interaction).
• Standard safety exclusionary criteria for MRI such as metallic foreign bodies, pacemaker, etc., since the quantitative PET data analysis is based on anatomic criteria that are established uniquely for each subject by registration to his/her MRI.
