ClinicaliQ Trial Snapshot
  • 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 — Recruiting • Phase II • Neurology • NCT05552157.
  • What is being tested: Investigational disease-modifying treatments in individuals carrying genetic mutations that cause early-onset Alzheimer's disease, with evaluation of biomarker effects, safety, and tolerability; Stage 1 aims to determine whether treatment prevents or slows disease progression.
  • Patient eligibility overview: Participants must have a known Alzheimer's disease-causing genetic mutation and be either at-risk for or have early-onset AD; this represents a genetically defined, high-risk population suitable for early intervention studies.

What This Trial Is Studying

The purpose is to evaluate the biomarker effect, safety, and tolerability of investigational study drugs in participants who are known to have an Alzheimer's disease (AD)-causing mutation. Stage 1 will determine if treatment with the study drug prevents or slows the rate of amyloid beta (Aβ) pathological disease accumulation demonstrated by Aβ positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Stage 2 will evaluate the effect of early Aβ plaque reduction/prevention on disease progression by assessing downstream non-Aβ biomarkers of AD (e.g., CSF total tau, p-tau, NfL) compared to an external control group…
