PET: Positron Emission Tomography Study Using 2-[18F]-F-A85380 to Determine α4β2 Neuronal Nicotinic Receptor Occupancy of AZD3480 After Oral Administration to Healthy Male Subjects
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study is being performed in order to learn more about AZD3480 (potential as treatment for patients with Alzheimer's Disease) and to investigate how much of AZD3480 is bound to the nicotinic receptors in the brain at different concentrations of AZD3480 in blood, as well as to investigate the period of time for this binding.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Plasma concentration (AUC, Cmax, tmax) [During time period of the PET assessement]
- The whole brain uptake and regional distribution of radioligand 2-[18F]-F-A85380 following single intravenous (iv) microdose will be assessed (using derived radioactivity measurements). [One on baseline day and one at the drug treatment day]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- SafetyAEs and vital signs. [During the whole study]
