Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

[18F]MNI-815 (MNI-815)

At the \[18F\]MNI-815 PET imaging visit, subjects will be injected with no more than 10mCi of \[18F\]MNI-815

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

[18F]MNI-815 (MNI-815)

Intervention Type DRUG

All enrolled subjects will undergo an \[18F\]MNI-815 PET imaging visit. As a part of the screening visit, subjects will undergo \[18F\]florbetaben (FBB) PET imaging to determine if they have significant amyloid deposition.
