18F-MK-6240 Tau PET and Brain Inflammation in Alzheimer’s Disease

Status: Enrolling

Investigator: Joseph Masdeu

Study Coordinator: Nilene Crisci

Phone: 713.441.3771

To clarify the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of AD, it is important to measure inflammation in brain of people with AD and its relationship with abnormal tau, as the disease progresses. So far, there is no in vivo data in humans verif ... Read more >

Glutathione and Alzheimer's Disease

Status: Enrolling

Investigator: Joseph Masdeu

Study Coordinator: Chimaoge Onyechi

Phone: 713.363.7729

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with significant, progressive cognitive decline. Key defects in mitochondrial fuel metabolism insulin resistance, inflammation and decreased brain glucose uptake are linked to AD. This trial will investigat ... Read more >

Houston Alzheimer Disease Study

Role of Brain Inflammation in Alzheimer’s Disease

Status: Enrolling

Investigator: Joseph Masdeu

Study Coordinator: Nilene Crisci

Phone: 713.441.3771

The discovery of AD risk genes coding for proteins involved in inflammation has revived the interest in neuroinflammation (or brain inflammation) in the pathogenesis of AD. To understand the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of AD, it is ... Read more >
