Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: - At least 50 years of age - Subjects must, in the opinion of the principal investigator/attending neurologist, be able to tolerate the [18F]AV1451 PET scan procedures and be competent to make a well informed decision to participate in this study. Additional inclusion criteria per diagnostic group: For probable AD dementia patients; - A diagnosis of probable AD with at least intermediate likelihood according to recently proposed NIA-AA criteria. This will be determined using PET and/or CSF evidence of Aß deposition. For “MCI due to AD” patients; - Patients must meet clinical criteria for MCI, and; present with positive Aß biomarkers on PET and/or CSF.For patients with a dementia syndrome likely induced by tauopathy; For DLB patients; - Patients must be included in the DEvELOP (protocol number 15/548) - Subjects must, in the opinion of the principal investigator/attending neurologist, be able to tolerate the [18F] FDG PET scan procedures For controls; - No objective evidence of cognitive impairment as assessed by a multidisciplinary specialist team; - normal MRI; Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 40 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 160

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: No MRI available or possible Abnormalities on MRI which may interfere with PET image assessment: Is or may become pregnant in the 90 days after the PET scan Relevant history of drug allergy or hypersensitivity Has ever recieved a tau and/or amyloid-beta targetting agent Has been injected with a previously administered radiopharmaceutical within 6 terminal half-lives OR the total yearly radiation exposure exceeds 10 mSv; Has current clinically significant cardiovascular disease or clinically significant abnormalities on screening ECG (e.g. QTc > 450 msec) Has a history of moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To test the novel PET-tracer 18F-AV-1451 for tau pathology as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in tauopathies;Secondary Objective: To examine the (regional) binding of 18F-AV-1451 across tauopathies, and the relationships between tracer binding, neurodegeneration and symptoms. To explore the predictive value of [18F]AV1451 binding for change over time in neuropsychological performance.;Primary end point(s): Quantification and distribution of 18F-AV-1451 specific binding.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Continious PET scan from 0-60 and 80-130 minutes post injection at baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Neuropsychological performance (over time); - Gray matter volumes on MRI - CSF protein levels (tau, ptau and Aß42); - Aß-PET tracer binding. - FDG-PET binding;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Neuropsychological performance (over time) at baseline and follow-up after one year - Gray matter volumes on MRI taken as part of clinical dementia screening. - CSF protein levels (tau, ptau and Aß42) obtained by a lumbar punction performed as part of clinical dementia screening - Amyloid beta-PET tracer binding obtained (where applicable) from previously performed amyloid-beta PET scans with 18F-Florbetapir, 18F-Florbetaben or 11C-Pittsburgh compound B
