About this trial
The current protocol is to determine the biodistribution, metabolism, excretion and brain uptake of 11C HY-2-15. The goal of this radiotracer is to quantify alpha-synuclein that is abnormally deposited in the brain of people with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). The investigators will compare uptake in people with MSA with people with Parkinson disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) as well as healthy volunteers. This multicenter project funded by an NIH U19 grant, is centered at U Pennsylvania (Penn, Grant PI: Robert Mach) in collaboration with U Pittsburgh (Pitt) (not a clinical site), Yale U, U of California at San Francisco (UCSF) and Washington University in St. Louis (WU). The University of Pennsylvania will act as the sIRB for this multi-center human subjects project and participants will be recruited from all sites.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
The entire cohort will include men and women clinically diagnosed with MSA, PD, PSP or are healthy controls. A sub-set of these participants who undergo whole body scanning that will be used for analysis of biodistribution and dosimetry calculations.
Patients in all cohorts will be male or female adults from 40 to 80 years of age.
Participants must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and be willing to provide written informed consent and participate in this study in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines prior to study-specific procedures or Participants who are deemed unable to provide informed consent must have a designated study partner present for consent and to accompany them to study visits
We will ask PD/MSA/PSP participants to agree to brain donation but this choice is not mandatory for participation in this study.
Disqualifiers
Females who are pregnant or breast feeding will be excluded, a urine pregnancy test will be performed in women of child-bearing potential prior to injection of 11C HY-2-15, 11C-PiB or Florbetaben
Forms of parkinsonism other than PD, PSP and MSA as defined above
Major psychiatric disorder (e.g. schizophrenia or bipolar disorder) - major depressive disorder is allowed
History of significant or ongoing alcohol abuse or substance abuse or dependence based on medical record review or self-reported
