Cognitive Impairment
Alzheimer's disease (mild cognitive impairment or mild stage Alzheimer's disease dementia) 11C-ER176: 11C-ER176 sticks to parts of the brain where there is inflammation. Past studies have shown that inflammation is present in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. The purpose of this study is to determine if 11C-ER176 is able to accurately measure inflammation in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Florbetaben: Florbetaben sticks to amyloid plaques, which are in the brain in Alzheimer's disease.
No Cognitive Impairment
Healthy Controls 11C-ER176: 11C-ER176 sticks to parts of the brain where there is inflammation.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to one year from baseline

Population: Data is reflective of those with blood sampling only: 4 out of 6 cognitive impairment participants and 1 out of 1 no cognitive impairment participant. All 7 completers have 11C-ER176 imaging but only 5 have arterial blood sampling and therefore a Total Distribution Volume.

Total distribution volume reflects the amount of TSPO (the inflammatory protein that 11C-ER176 sticks to) in the brain. This measure requires arterial blood sampling.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to one year from baseline

Population: Data is analyzed for completers only: 6 out of 6 cognitive impairment participants and 1 out of 1 no cognitive impairment participant. Completers here meaning they have 11C-ER176 imaging and SUVRs.

The standardize uptake value ratio is the concentration of radioactivity measured from the 11C-ER176 positron emission tomography (PET) scan in the cortex compared to the uptake in the cerebellum (pseudo-reference region). This is a simplified quantification technique compared to the Total Distribution Volume, but is linearly related to it. Higher values indicate more neuroinflammation.
