This project will collect quantitative pilot data that will allow the characterization of uptake and binding of 18F-AV-1451 (also known as F 18 T807), a novel tau imaging compound, in individuals with Progressive Posterior Cortical Dysfunction (PPCD) and logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA). The primary goal is to develop tau imaging technique as an antecedent biomarker of cognitive decline. The investigators propose to obtain preliminary data that will support the possibility of detecting cognitive decline in its earliest stages, before the occurrence of dementia.
3,678 studies on the registry are indexed under Alzheimer Disease; 872 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 20 is below the median of 200 across 751 observational studies indexed under Alzheimer Disease.

Collaborating physicians and the Knight ADRC Clinical Core will refer participants to the Knight ADRC Research Imaging (KARI) Program for MR and PET imaging to evaluate tau distribution in the brains of cognitively normal and cognitively impaired individuals, with the primary goal of developing this highly promising tau imaging technique as an antecedent biomarker of cognitive decline. We propose to recruit groups of patients with PPCD and lvPPA from the same clinical environment.
Exclusion Criteria:
Drug: F 18 T807
Participants will receive a single intravenous bolus injection of approximately 6.5-10mCi (240-370MBq) of F 18 T807. For those who cannot tolerate the full exam, participants will receive single intravenous bolus injection of approximately 6.5-10mCi (240-370MBq) of F 18 T807.
Also known as: 18F-AV-1451
F 18 T807 Standard Uptake Value Ratios (SUVR) will be correlated with other imaging modalities (MRI, PET amyloid imaging) and cognitive performance.

Plan to share: Yes — We will share this data with other researchers. They may be doing research in areas similar to this research or in other unrelated areas. These researchers may be at Washington University, at other research centers and institutions, or industry sponsors of research. We may also share your research data with large data repositories (a repository is a database of information) for broad sharing with the research community. If the individual research data is placed in one of these repositories only qualified researchers, who have received prior approval from individuals that monitor the use of the data, will be able to look at the information.
