ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called lencanemab for people with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alzheimer's is a condition that affects memory and daily activities, and it can be particularly challenging for older adults and their families. The trial aims to understand how lencanemab works in the brain to improve memory and thinking skills by targeting harmful proteins that build up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Researchers will use advanced imaging techniques and other assessments to see how well the treatment works and how it affects brain function.

To participate in this study, you must be between 50 and 90 years old and have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's. You will need to have a reliable caregiver who can help you during the study visits. Participants will receive lencanemab infusions or standard dementia treatments, and they will be closely monitored throughout the trial. This study is currently not recruiting participants, but it is an important step in finding new ways to help those living with Alzheimer's disease.
