Phase 2 & 3
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by Washington University School of Medicine
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Adequate visual and auditory abilities to perform all aspects of the cognitive and functional assessments
Individuals who know they have an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation or are unaware of their genetic status and have dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD) mutation in their family
Must not have
History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular disease, hepatic/renal disorders, infectious disease or immune disorder, or metabolic/endocrine disorders
Positive urine or serum pregnancy test or plans or desires to become pregnant during the course of the trial
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up baseline and weeks 52, 104, 156, and 208

Summary

This trialassesses if a study drug could slow Alzheimer's progression or improve related biomarkers.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 18-80 with or at risk of early onset Alzheimer's due to a genetic mutation. They must be able to undergo brain scans and tests, have a reliable study partner, and use effective contraception if applicable. Exclusions include significant health issues like heart disease, metal implants incompatible with MRI, recent drug/alcohol dependence, certain cancer histories, and pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of drugs Gantenerumab, Solanezumab, E2814, Lecanemab against placebos in slowing cognitive decline or improving biomarkers in Alzheimer's patients. Participants will receive either one of the drugs or a placebo while researchers track their cognitive health over time.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include injection site reactions (like redness or pain), headaches, fatigue, allergic responses to the medication components which could range from mild to severe depending on individual sensitivities.
