All
Phase 0

This study tests a new method called PET (Positron Emission Tomography) to see if it can safely and accurately detect a protein called α-synuclein in the brain. This protein is involved in diseases like Parkinson's Disease. The new PET tracer used is named [18F]ACI-15916.

  • The study may last up to 10 weeks, or 14 weeks for some parts.
  • Participants may have to visit the clinic multiple times for tests and scans.
  • After the PET scan, participants will be contacted by phone to discuss any side effects.

People with and without these conditions can join. Some participants may have a second PET scan to check the results are consistent. Healthy people will also have a whole-body scan to measure radiation exposure. To join, participants need to be generally healthy, have a normal weight, and be able to follow study procedures. Pregnant women and people with certain health conditions cannot participate.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
