ENVISION Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether a drug called aducanumab can slow down cognitive and functional decline in people with early Alzheimer's disease, as measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) score.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with early Alzheimer's disease who have confirmed amyloid beta pathology, an MMSE score of 22-30, and a reliable informant. They must be in good health aside from Alzheimer's and not on cognition-affecting meds or those with antiplatelet properties. Prior aducanumab users are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if monthly doses of aducanumab can slow cognitive and functional decline compared to placebo in early Alzheimer's patients, measured by the CDR-SB score changes over time.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Aducanumab may cause infusion reactions, headaches, falls, diarrhea or constipation. It might also lead to swelling or bleeding in the brain which can manifest as confusion, dizziness or nausea.
