Study Summary

This trial is testing if a new drug, bepranemab, can help people with prodromal or mild Alzheimer's Disease by improving their cognitive function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 50-80 with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's, as defined by specific criteria. They must have a certain level of memory function and an informant who can report on their condition. Those with other cognitive conditions, recent experimental therapy use, or certain medication histories are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Bepranemab against a placebo to see its effects on dementia symptoms in Alzheimer's patients over 80 weeks. It focuses on changes in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), which measures the severity of dementia.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, and possible immune responses due to Bepranemab being a monoclonal antibody.
