AD, HV, PSP
Brief summary
The overall goal of this imaging trial is to evaluate \[18F\]MNI-958, a tau targeted PET radioligand, in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), and healthy volunteers (HV).
Interventions
Subjects will undergo PET imaging using \[18F\]MNI-958, a PET radioligand for imaging tau.
Subjects with Alzheimer's disease will receive a \[18F\]florbetapir scan to compare distribution of tau in the brain compared to that of \[18F\]MNI-958.
DaTscan SPECT imaging will be completed in those PSP subjects who have not previously had DATScan imaging as part of the screening procedures.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion: * Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed. * Female subjects must be documented by medical records or physician's note to be either surgically sterile (by means of hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation) or post-menopausal for at least 1 year or, if they are of child-bearing potential, must commit to use a barrier contraception method for the duration of the study. * Male subjects and their partners of childbearing potential must commit to the use of two methods of contraception, one of which is a barrier method for male subjects for the study duration. * Male subjects must not donate sperm for the study duration. * Willing and able to cooperate with study procedures Inclusion Criteria for Healthy Volunteer Subjects: * Males and females aged ≥50 years. Healthy with no clinically relevant finding on physical examination at screening and upon reporting for the \[18F\]MNI-958 imaging visit. * No cognitive impairment from neuropsychological battery as judged by the investigator * Have screening \[18F\]florbetapir PET imaging demonstrating no significant amyloid binding based on qualitative analysis (visual read). * No family history of Alzheimer's disease or neurological disease associated with dementia * Have a CDR score=0 Inclusion Criteria for subjects with a diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease (AD): * Males and females aged 50 to 90 years. * Have probable Alzheimer's disease, based on the NINCDS/ADRDA and DSM-IV criteria. * Have a CDR score of 0.5 or greater at screening. * Have an MMSE score ≤ 28. * Have screening or prior (in the last 12 months) \[18F\]florbetapir PET imaging demonstrating amyloid binding based on qualitative (visual read) * A brain MRI that supports a diagnosis of AD, with no evidence of focal disease to account for dementia or MRI
Exclusion criteria
. * Medications taken for symptomatic treatment of AD must be maintained on a stable dosage regimen for at least 30 days before the screening visit. * Signed and dated written informed consent obtained from the subject and the subject's legally authorized representative or caregiver (if applicable). * The subject has an appropriate caregiver capable of accompanying subject, if necessary. Inclusion Criteria for subjects with a diagnosis of probable Progressive Suprnuclear Palsy (PSP) * Males and females aged 50 to 90 years. * Has a clinical diagnosis of PSP based on the NINDS and Society for PSP criteria (Litvan, et al 1996). * Have screening or prior DaTscan SPECT imaging demonstrating evidence of dopamine transporter deficit based on visual read. * A brain MRI that supports a diagnosis of PSP, with no other evidence of significant neurologic pathology * Medications taken for symptomatic treatment of PSP must be maintained on a stable dosage regimen for at least 30 days before screening visit. * Signed and dated written informed consent obtained from the subject and the subject's legally authorized representative or caregiver (if applicable). * The subject has an appropriate caregiver capable of accompanying subject, if necessary.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tracer uptake will be evaluated in regions of interest for analysis of regional [18F]MNI-958 binding/uptake and expressed in SUV by using established methods for normalization for 3 AD, 3 PSP, and 3 HV subjects. | 1 year | Descriptive statistics will be applied to describe the tau deposition by region as measured by \[18F\]MNI-958. |
