Amyloid beta plaque accumulation with longitudinal [18F]AZD4694 PET.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

[18F]AZD4694 is an amyloid beta (Aβ) imaging agent used in several observational studies and clinical trials. However, no studies have yet published data on longitudinal Aβ accumulation measured with [18F]AZD4694.

Methods

We assessed 146 individuals who were evaluated with [18F]AZD4694 at baseline and 2-year follow-up. We calculated annual rates of [18F]AZD4694 change for clinically defined and biomarker-defined groups.

Results

Cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults displayed subtle [18F]AZD4694 standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) accumulation over the follow-up period. In contrast, Aβ positive CU older adults displayed higher annual [18F]AZD4694 SUVR increases. [18F]AZD4694 SUVR accumulation in Aβ positive mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementi
