  • Diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) based on the Clinical diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy: The movement disorder society criteria (Höglinger et al., 2017).
  • Symptom onset within 2-5 years prior to screening.
  • Progressive motor symptoms including vertical supranuclear gaze palsy, postural instability, and other signs of parkinsonism.
  • Evidence of striatal degeneration in form of abnormal DaTscan (previously obtained DaTscan since onset of motor symptoms may be used). c) Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS):
  • Diagnosis of corticobasal syndrome (CBS) based on clinical criteria, with asymmetric motor and cognitive dysfunction (Armstrong et al., 2013).
  • Presence of limb apraxia, dystonia, alien limb phenomenon, and/or parkinsonism (e.g., rigidity, bradykinesia).
  • Cognitive decline as indicated by impairment in attention, executive function, or memory.
  • Evidence of striatal degeneration in form of abnormal DaTscan (previously obtained DaTscan since onset of motor symptoms may be used).
What rules you out
  • Any other medical or psychiatric condition or lab abnormality, which in the opinion of the investigator might preclude participation.
  • For those receiving Screening DaTscan:
  • Received any of the following medications that could interfere with the imaging and unwilling or medically unable to hold them for five half-lives before SPECT imaging: alpha methyldopa, methylphenidate, amphetamine...

  • Any structural abnormality or finding on previously obtained or screening brain MRI suggestive of clinically significant neurological disorders other than the diseases of interest (in the opinion of the investigator).
  • Any other reason that in the opinion of the investigator, including abnormal labs, that could interfere with the safety with radiotracer injection, would render the participant unsuitable for the study enrollment.
