Trial ID
NCT06098612
Official Title
PET Imaging Evaluation of [11C]SY08
Goal
Detect Parkinson related brain changes
Phase
EARLY_PHASE1
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
Massachusetts General Hospital
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
40 participants
Conditions
Parkinson's Disease, Multiple System Atrophy, Dementia With Lewy Bodies, Healthy Controls
Interventions
C11-SY08

Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to find out whether a new PET tracer called [11C]SY08 can reliably highlight disease-related brain changes in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or dementia with Lewy bodies, compared with healthy volunteers. Participants get a single PET/MRI session after injection of the radiolabeled tracer, which is designed to bind to the pathological brain target so researchers can map where and how much signal appears; it is an imaging agent, not a treatment, and it does not change existing medications, so most people must be on stable meds for at least 30 days. The trial is looking for English-speaking adults age 50 to 80, including PD patients at Hoehn and Yahr stages I to IV, people with MSA or probable DLB with mild dementia, and healthy controls, and excludes those with major medical or psychiatric conditions, MRI or PET safety risks, or other listed contraindications.
