Study Summary

This trial tests if a new drug can improve thinking skills in people with Alzheimer's Disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease, who can still manage daily activities and have a specific score range on the MoCA test. They must not have other medical conditions that could explain their cognitive issues, nor should they be pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to SAGE-718 ingredients like soy lecithin, or have certain neurological histories.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of SAGE-718 on cognitive performance in Alzheimer's patients compared to a placebo. Participants will either receive SAGE-718 or a matching dummy pill without active medication (placebo) to assess any differences in mental function outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, participants may experience reactions related to the components of SAGE-718. Allergic responses could occur in those sensitive to its ingredients such as soy lecithin.
