Evaluation of Flortaucipir PET Signal and Cognitive Change in Early Alzheimer's Disease

Summary

This study will evaluate whether visual interpretation of flortaucipir-PET (positron emission tomography) scans, examining patterns of tracer uptake at baseline, can predict the rate of clinically-meaningful cognitive decline due to AD after 18 months. All scans are acquired from cohorts of a previously completed study, I8D-MC-AZES (NCT02245737, lanabecestat, Eli Lilly and Company sponsor).
