Volunteers wanted for new nationwide research study called CLARiTI: Clarity in Research Through Imaging
The Wisconsin ADRC is joining centers around the nation to conduct a brain imaging research study to identify how Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias develop.
We use positron emission tomography (PET) to image amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain.
The goal is to determine how far in advance of symptoms Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias begin. We anticipate that this study will improve our ability to diagnose these diseases.
Who is eligible for this study?
- Adults age 50 or older enrolled in our clinical core study.
- Willing and able to complete study visits at the ADRC for scans and other study measures.
- Willing to return two years later for follow-up procedures.
What will I be asked to do?
Study parts may include:
- Amyloid PET scan
- Tau PET scan
- MRI scan
- Optional FDG scan
- Blood draw
How long will I be in the study?
We will ask you to participate in scans and other measures at two visit time points spaced two years apart.
Will I be compensated?
If you are eligibile, you will receive:
- $150 for each Amyloid PET scan
- $150 for each Tau PET scan
- $150 for each FDG scan, if applicable
- $100 for each MRI scan, if applicable
- $50 for blood draw, if applicable
