an open positron emission tomography study to assess the effects of varying mass of azd4694 on radioligand binding parameters in healthy volunteers and patients with alzheimer's disease

Conditions: Maximum Diagnostic Mass of [18Fluor]AZD4694

Summary: in this study different mass of the radioligand azd4694 will be given to patients with alzheimer's disease and healthy volunteers to evaluate wich mass of azd4694 that gives the best opportunities for following disease progress and treatment effects.

open-label positron emission tomography study with selective beta amyloid radioligand (18fluor)azd4694 to assess the effects of varying mass of azd4694 on radioligand binding parameters in healthy volunteers and patients with alzheimer's disease
