Study of [11C]CPPC to Assess the Safety and Tolerability in Patients With ALS

Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of using the \[5-cyano-N-(4-(4-\[11C\]Methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-(Piperidin-1-yl)Phenyl)Furan-2-carboxamide\] (\[11C\]CPPC) radiotracer in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The investigators are also interested to see whether use of this radiotracer reveals imaging differences between patients with ALS and healthy patients.
