This pilot study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of [11C]MPC6827 as an imaging tracer to detect the early breakdown of neurons, called neurodegeneration, in people with Alzheimer's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In the first part of the study, up to five healthy volunteers will be injected with a small dose of the tracer followed by positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) full-body imaging scans. Next, up to 30 participants, including healthy volunteers and adults with Alzheimer's and ALS, will be injected with a full dose of the tracer followed by extended imaging with up to two hours of PET-CT scans to assess the body's processing of the tracer over time. Researchers will monitor all participants for safety and any adverse events throughout the study.
Minimum Age: 18 Years
