TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cerveau Technologies, Inc. (Cerveau) and Nihon Medi-Physics (NMP), a leading company for radiopharmaceuticals in Japan, today announced that they signed a manufacturing service agreement, in which Cerveau grants NMP the right to manufacture [18F]MK-6240, a next generation investigational Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging agent. This will facilitate clinical studies assessing the status and progression of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain. NFTs, made up of aggregated tau protein are a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease.

A new positron emission tomography radiotracer has the potential to spot signs of Alzheimer’s disease years before symptoms appear.

That’s according to research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2021 Annual Meeting, which wraps up on Tuesday, June 15. The chemical compound 18F-MK6240 has been shown to effectively measure increases in brain tau, a protein commonly found in healthy brain neurons.

Scientists see potential in using the new tracer to test the impact of emerging Alzheimer’s therapies. Read More
