Activated microglia are believed to play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.

Key Points: 
  • Activated microglia are believed to play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.
  • When combined with my assessment of the first two Expanded Access patients at six-months, five of the six suggested a reduction in qualitative microglial PET signal.
  • An example of this can be seen in the graphic below, titled, “Figure 1”, showing the deactivation of this signal in patient EA6.
  • This is promising from an imaging standpoint, and further studies are needed to confirm these findings using additional quantitative approaches."
