BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This week Institut de Radiofarmacia Aplicada de Barcelona, S.L. (IRAB), a leading producer of imaging biomarkers for use in clinical research, has signed an agreement that grants the company 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.

IRAB is now the latest in a series of high quality partners to secure the right to manufacture this tau ligand.

“Cerveau welcomes this opportunity to work with IRAB and local researchers in the greater Barcelona medical community to understand the application of MK-6240 and how it may benefit patients with brain diseases. With a rapidly aging population, Alzheimer’s disease is a global challenge. Our technical collaboration with IRAB will support multiple projects in Europe over the next several years and enable Cerveau to provide access to our pharmaceutical partners in support of various therapy trials, as well as facilitate novel academic research in pursuit of evaluating potential preventative treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease.” said Rick Hiatt, President and CEO of Cerveau Technologies, Inc.
