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

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

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 2/3

This research study is testing a drug called remternetug to see if it can help people who have a high chance of getting early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to genetic mutations. Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder that affects memory and thinking skills. The study will check if the drug can prevent or reduce the build-up of a protein called amyloid beta (Aβ) in the brain, which is linked to AD. Participants will be people who carry certain gene mutations but do not yet show symptoms. The study will involve brain scans, blood tests, and other checks to track how the drug works and its safety.

  • Study Length: Participation may last several years, with regular visits for tests and assessments.
  • Eligibility: Participants must be adults with specific gene mutations and no AD symptoms.
  • Potential Risks: Includes side effects from the drug and discomfort from tests like brain scans and blood draws.

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.
