Purpose: The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is an ATP-gated ion channel predominantly expressed on activated microglia and is important in neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's disease (PD). In this first-in-human study, we investigated [C]JNJ54173717 ([C]JNJ717), a selective P2X7R tracer, in healthy volunteers (HV) and PD patients. Biodistribution, dosimetry, kinetic modelling and short-term test-retest variation (TRV), as well as possible genotype effects, were investigated.
