A Study of Potential Disease Modifying Treatments in Individuals at Risk for or With a Type of Early Onset AD Caused by a Genetic Mutation

Exploring new treatments for early-onset Alzheimer's due to genetic mutation.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 2/3

In this study, researchers aim to explore new treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in people at risk due to a genetic mutation. AD causes memory problems and affects thinking. The study assesses if the treatments can slow or prevent brain changes linked to AD.

Key Points:

  • The study involves two stages, each lasting 4 years. In Stage 1, participants may receive a study drug or a placebo (a substance with no active drug). In Stage 2, all participants will receive the study drug.
  • Participants must be at least 18 years old and either have a family history of a specific genetic mutation linked to AD or be unaware of their genetic status.
  • The study requires regular visits for tests, including brain scans and memory tests, to monitor the drug's effects.

Eligible participants should be healthy with no symptoms of AD and agree to certain conditions, like not donating blood during the study. Those with certain medical conditions or taking specific medications may not be eligible.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
