Brief Summary

This project will collect quantitative pilot data that will allow the characterization of uptake and binding of 18F-AV-1451 (also known as F 18 T807, also known as T807, also known as 7-(6-fluoropyridin-3-yl)-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indole), a novel tau imaging compound, in older HIV+ individuals with and without HAND and matched HIV uninfected (HIV-) controls. The primary goal is to develop this highly promising tau imaging technique as an biomarker of cognitive decline in HIV+ individuals. The investigators will obtain preliminary data that will support the possibility of detecting early brain pathological changes due to HIV. Data generated from this study will be used for submission of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants comparing tau deposition in HAND compared to other neurodegenerative disorders. It is hypothesized that specific topographies will help distinguish these neurodegenerative disorders in older individuals.

Detailed Description

This protocol will demonstrate the presence of tau fibrils in older HIV+ patients with HIV associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) compared to cognitively normal HIV+ individuals and HIV- controls.

It will also demonstrate that the phenoconversion from cognitively normal (CN) status to HAND will be closely correlated with neocortical F 18 T807 uptake. In particular, HIV+ patients with MND will have greater tau cortical deposition compared to ANI individuals.

The investigtors hypothesize that in vivo tau imaging will ultimately:

• Demonstrate the presence of tau fibrils in older HIV+ patients with HIV associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) compared to cognitively normal HIV+ individuals and HIV- controls.
• Demonstrate that the phenoconversion from cognitively normal (CN) status to HAND will be closely correlated with neocortical F 18 T807 uptake. In particular, HIV+ patients with MND will have greater tau cortical deposition compared to ANI individuals.

Study Groups

F 18 T807

Participants will receive a single intravenous bolus injection of approximately 6.5-10mCi (240-370MBq) of F 18 T807. For those who cannot tolerate the full exam, participants will receive single intravenous bolus injection of approximately 6.5-10mCi (240-370MBq) of F 18 T807.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female participants, ≥ 40 years of age.

2. Testing for HIV status. If positive will be included in the HIV+ group and if negative will be included in the HIV- group.

3. Females without documented history of menopause or hysterectomy will undergo a urine pregnancy test 24 hours prior to F 18 T807 drug administration.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Has any condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, could increase risk to the participant, limit the participant's ability to tolerate the experimental procedures, or interfere with the collection/analysis of the data (for example, participants with severe chronic back pain might not be able to lie still during the scanning procedures).

2. Is deemed likely unable to perform the imaging procedures for any reason.

3. Has a high risk for Torsades de Pointes or is taking medications known to prolong QT interval.

4. Has hypersensitivity to F 18 T807 or any of its excipients.

5. Contraindications to PET, PET-CT or MR (e.g. electronic medical devices, inability to lie still for long periods) that make it unsafe for the individual to participate.

6. Severe claustrophobia.

7. Currently pregnant or breast-feeding.

• Minimum Eligible Age: 40 Years
