Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for adults aged 40 to 85 to study how a special imaging agent works in the brain. Participants will provide consent to take part in the research and may be asked about donating their brain after passing away, but this is not required.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I am between 40 and 85 years old.
  • I can provide informed consent for myself.
  • I have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, or am a healthy control.

You may not be able to join if

  • I am pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • I have a major psychiatric disorder.
  • I have a history of significant alcohol or substance abuse.
  • I cannot tolerate imaging or blood procedures.
  • I have a current medical condition that could affect my safety in the study.

About This Trial
The current protocol is to determine the biodistribution, metabolism, excretion and brain uptake of 11C-M503. The goal of this radiotracer is to quantify alpha-synuclein that is abnormally deposited in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Investigators will compare uptake in participants with PD versus participants with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and progressive supranuclear palsy…
