Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Cognitive assessment will be performed at visits one and four lasting approximately one hour.
Blood biomarker sampling will occur at visit 4.
The Amyloid PET scan will be done at visit two and involves intravenous injection of 200 +/-10%MBq of (18F)Nav4694. A 20-minute scan will be acquired starting at 50 minutes post injection. Where MRI Brain scan results with a 3D sequence from within the past six months are not available, an MRI will be done at visit 2 or visit 3. An FDG PET scan will be done at visit three using an intravenous injection of 185 +/-10% of (18F)FDG. A 15-minute scan will be acquired starting at 30 minutes post injection.
