Study Summary

This trial is testing whether the study drug donanemab is safe and effective in Alzheimer's disease patients and whether it can be assessed through video Scale.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have stable Alzheimer's Disease and were part of a previous donanemab study. They must be on consistent AD medication, have reliable venous access, and can undergo PET or MRI scans. A study partner is required. Those with serious illnesses or recent anti-amyloid treatments are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and effectiveness of donanemab in Alzheimer's patients, using video assessments to validate results. Participants previously involved in a similar donanemab study will continue to explore its potential benefits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common ones associated with Alzheimer's drugs may include infusion reactions, infection risks, inflammation, and possible impacts on organ function.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is admission to this study open to persons who have achieved their majority?

"This medical study is enrolling patients over the age of 60, up to a maximum of 90 years old."

Answered by AI

How widely distributed is this clinical research within the United States?

"The Banner Sun Health Research Institute in Sun City, Synexus Clinical Research US, Inc. in Orlando and Stedman Clinical Trials in The Villages are amongst the 33 locations currently operating for this study."

Answered by AI

Is there a possibility for me to participate in this medical research?

"This dementia research endeavor is looking to include 90 individuals, ranging from age 60 to 90. In order to be eligible for the trial, applicants must have had no changes in their AD regimen as well as any medications that might influence cognition for at least one month before randomization and must possess a designated study partner."

Answered by AI

Have prior studies demonstrated efficacy for this particular therapeutic modality?

"Currently, 4 studies are being conducted in order to assess this particular treatment. Of those trials, three have advanced to phase 3 testing. The vast majority of the research is located in Irving Texas yet 685 medical sites globally are conducting similar investigations."

Answered by AI

Is this an original research endeavor?

"Research on this medication has been ongoing since 2020, spearheaded by Eli Lilly and Company's first clinical trial involving 1800 participants. This drug was eventually approved for Phase 3 use in the same year. Currently, 4 studies are actively running across 335 cities and 9 nations."

Answered by AI

Is this treatment reliably secure for individuals?

"Given the Phase 2 status of this therapy, Power assessed its safety with a score of two due to limited data on efficacy."

Answered by AI

How many individuals have been enrolled in this research trial thus far?

"This trial is not currently taking on new patients. It was initially posted in November of 2020 and most recently updated in May 2022. On the other hand, if you are researching for alternative studies related to dementia, there are 1099 active trials with 4 pertinent to this treatment that are open for recruitment."

Answered by AI

What are the projected results of this medical experiment?

"The primary evaluation criterion of this one-month trial is to explore the connection between VTC and onsite assessments for Alzheimer's disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog13). Secondary measures include changes in baseline MMSE scores, brain volume as measured by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (vMRI), and number of participants with anti-donanemab antibodies. The total score range of the MMSE instrument ranges from 0 to 30, lower scores denoting greater impairment."

Answered by AI

Are there any current opportunities for individuals to participate in this experiment?

"This clinical trial has reached its recruitment quota and is no longer accepting patients, with the first posting date of November 23rd 2020, and last update on May 25th 2022. For those still looking for trials to join, there are currently 1099 studies related to dementia that are actively recruiting participants as well as 4 corresponding trials focusing on this treatment approach."

Why did patients apply to this trial?

My step father, now deceased, had Alzheimer’s . It is a debilitating disease . The toll it takes on care givers and family members is relentless.
PatientReceived 2+ prior treatments
My mother's 10 brothers and sisters all died from dementia/AD. My recall and memory have always been poor enough for concern, and is a major concern now. I don't know how to get help.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
