Information about participating in the trial

What are the researchers trying to find out?

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALZ-801 in people with early Alzheimer's disease with the APOE4/4 genotype.

How long will the treatment last?

78 weeks (one year and a half)

What your involvement will entail?

• During the study, participants will be asked to complete tests that will assess their functioning, behaviour and quality of life (i.e. tests like ADAS-Cog)
• Complete some laboratory tests to evaluate the emergent adverse effects (unfavourable signs, symptoms or diseases temporally associated with the use of the drug tested in the study)
• Complete a test that will assess memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, personal care and community affairs (this is a test called CDR)
• During the study, participants will have to undergo brain scan (MRI) and CSF examination (spinal tap).
  
  Further information on the procedures, tests and number of visits can be obtained from the study team.

• Have a score between 22 and 30 points in the MMSE test (a test about your memory) and a score of 0.5 to 1 in the Clinical Dementia Rating-Global Score (CDR). This would suggest that the person has an impairment in their memory that is at a mild stage
• Have evidence of progressive memory loss over the last 12 months per investigator assessment.
