Direct Comparison of the Tau PET Tracers 18F-Flortaucipir and 18F-MK-6240 in Human Subjects

Alexandra Gogola et al.

Summary: This study compared the characteristics of two frequently used tau PET tracers, F-18-flortaucipir and F-18-MK-6240, in the same subjects. The results showed that both tracers performed equally well in visual interpretations and were capable of quantifying signal in a common set of brain regions that develop tau pathology in Alzheimer disease. However, they also showed distinct patterns of apparent off-target binding, and F-18-MK-6240 exhibited a greater dynamic range in SUVR estimates.

Defining the Lowest Threshold for Amyloid-PET to Predict Future Cognitive Decline and Amyloid Accumulation

Michelle E. Farrell et al.

Summary: This study aimed to redefine the A beta-PET threshold for predicting future A beta accumulation and cognitive decline in clinically normal individuals. The results showed that cutoffs derived from future A beta-PET accumulation and cognitive decline converged on the same inflection point, providing insights for early intervention targeting A beta.

Longitudinal 18F-MK-6240 tau tangles accumulation follows Braak stages

Tharick A. Pascoal et al.

Summary: It is crucial to track longitudinal tau tangles accumulation across the Alzheimer's disease spectrum to understand the natural history of tau pathology. The novel subnanomolar affinity tau tracer F-18-MK-6240 demonstrated the ability to detect tau accumulation in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals. The study found different patterns of tau accumulation in early vs. late Braak stages, with implications for diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

A multicenter comparison of [18F]flortaucipir, [18F]RO948, and [18F]MK6240 tau PET tracers to detect a common target ROI for differential diagnosis

Antoine Leuzy et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine if comparable target regions of interest (ROIs) and cut-offs could be used across different tau PET tracers for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease dementia. Comparable diagnostic performance was observed between theory-driven and data-driven ROIs, with the temporal meta-ROI consistently performing well across all tracers with an SUVR threshold of approximately 1.35.

Sex differences in off-target binding using tau positron emission tomography

Ruben Smith et al.

Summary: The study reveals a sex difference in off-target binding in the meninges/skull using three different tau PET tracers. Women exhibit higher meningeal off-target binding compared to men across all tracers, and there is also a gender difference in baseline skull/meningeal SUVR values. Additionally, off-target binding in the skull/meninges decreases with age for [F-18]flortaucipir and [F-18]RO948.
