About NAV4694: Based on the data accumulated to date, AZD4694 appears to have very high sensitivity for detecting deposits of amyloid plaque in the brain. Due to its higher affinity for amyloid, markedly improved contrast has been observed displayed by an enhanced uptake in the amyloid-target regions of interest in the brain compared to background. The uptake in background tissue, referred to as white matter, is essentially negligible, providing optimized signal-to-noise ratios. Greater sensitivity and contrast may allow detection of smaller amounts of amyloid and may enable earlier identification of disease pathology.
