Autonomy Trial Summary

This trial will test whether a new drug can slow down Alzheimer's disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with early Alzheimer's disease who have experienced a gradual cognitive decline over the past 6 months, confirmed by tau PET scans and specific clinical ratings. Participants must be able to read and write, have at least 5 years of education, and commit to not donating sperm during the study. They need a literate study partner likely to complete the study with them.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing JNJ-63733657 against a placebo in slowing down clinical decline in early Alzheimer's patients. The main measure used will be the Integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (iADRS), which assesses both cognition and function.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed here but may include reactions typical of medications affecting brain function such as headaches, nausea, dizziness or more serious effects related to mood or cognition changes.
