CS1P1 PET Studies of Neuroinflammation in Parkinson Disease
Enrolling by invitation
Conditions studied: Parkinson Disease
In brief
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder strongly linked to advancing age that results in decline in mobility and thinking. Based on prior research, the investigators think that small amounts of inflammation in the brain may contribute to the mobility and thinking problems in people with PD. They are trying to measure inflammation in the brain in order to understand how this inflammation could be contributing to the symptoms of PD. This study involves a brain positron emission tomography (PET) scan with a new, investigational radioactive tracer called \[11C\]-CS1P1 to identify inflammation in the brain.The goal of this project is to quantify neuroinflammation with \[11C\]-CS1P1 PET and compare to motor and cognitive function in participants with various stages of severity of PD compared to controls.
