Study Summary

Subjects enrolled in the Professional Fighters Brain Health Study (PFBHS) will receive flortaucipir to explore its use as a biomarker for brain injury related to repetitive head trauma and to examine the relationship between clinical presentation and tau deposition.

Primary Outcome

Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVr) by subject enrollment group (cognitive impaired/normal) across weighted cortical average, frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital brain regions. For SUVr, a value of 1 or lower signifies no flortaucipir activity above background, values greater than 1 signify increasing flortaucipir activity in the brain.
