Sponsor's own description
This study aims to analyse, in vivo, the interplay between microglial activation and tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) using \[18F\]-DPA-714 and \[18F\]-Ro948 tracers by Position Emission Tomography (PET), and their consequences on synaptic density using \[11C\]-UCB-J, a recent PET radioligand. By coupling advanced neuroimaging techniques in AD patients, while comparing them to controls, we will be able to study, for the first time in humans, the interaction between neuroinflammation, tau pathology, synaptic density, and their impact on AD progression. Joint analyses of peripheral immune biomarkers, carried out as a secondary objective, will further aim at defining peripheral correlates of this interplay. Overall, we aim to refine AD subgroup classification in order to improve and to refine the design of new therapeutic trials.
