PET Imaging of Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Using [11C]MePPEP

NCT00598390 | Completed Phase 1

• 2 other identifiers: 08004808-M-0048
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 19
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this protocol is to measure brain CB1 receptors in the hope to better understand how they work, so that one day we can understand how the CB1 receptors are involved in psychiatric, neurological, and behavioral disorders.

Conditions

Healthy

Keywords

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• \<TAB\>
• All subjects must be healthy and aged 18 65 years, with history/physical exam, ECG, and laboratory tests within one year of the PET scan. The volunteer must sign an informed consent form.

You may not qualify if:
