Alzheimer's Disease Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment |

E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
AD is a disease beginning with subtle memory changes and can progress to Dementia. MCI is when cognitive impairment is noticeable but people are still able to perform activities of daily livings. |

E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The principal study objective is to test the safety and the efficacy of a new PET tracer for tau, called [18F]PI-2620, for the detection of tau tangle accumulation in the brain of patients with mild to moderate AD, amnestic mild cognitive impairment in comparison with cognitively unimpaired healthy controls. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the changes of tau accumulation in the brain over a time span of 17-20 months as measured with the PET tracer [18F]PI-2620, in patients with mild to moderate AD, and amnestic Mild cognitive impairment in comparison with cognitively unimpaired healthy controls. |
