|---|---|
| Main Objective: The overall objective of the present study is to characterize tau tracer retention as a function of amyloid levels transversally and longitudinally. 1 Cross sectional objectives ? To measure 18F-RO6958948 retention in selected participants of BBRC ALFA-related studies as a function of amyloid levels. ? To study the relation between 18F-RO6958948 retention and amyloid levels. 2 Longitudinal objectives ? To measure tau accumulation and spreading in participants of the ALFA-related studies of BBRC as a function of baseline amyloid levels. ? To study the dynamic relation between tau spreading and amyloid levels longitudinally.;Secondary Objective: 1 Cross sectional objectives ? To characterize imaging correlates as a function of tau and amyloid levels. ? To study the role of tau retention on cognitive performance. ? To define predictors of tau retention. 2 Longitudinal objectives ? To define predictors of tau spreading.;Primary end point(s): Global and regional retention rate of 18F-RO6958948.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Cross-sectionally at baseline visit of all subjects; Longitudinally at the end of the trial. | — |
