About the TRAILRUNNER-ALZ 2 Study

The TRAILRUNNER-ALZ 2 Study is evaluating how safe an investigational drug is and how effective it is at slowing memory and thinking issues for people with early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

The study involves people with memory loss that has gotten worse over time.

You or a loved one may be able to take part in the TRAILRUNNER-ALZ 2 Study if you:

*The study partner must be able to speak about the participant’s day-to-day routines and any changes with the research staff throughout the study.

If you are interested in participating, the study doctor and staff will review additional eligibility criteria with you.

Study Overview

Participants are randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups. They receive either the investigational drug or a placebo (a substance that looks like the investigational drug but contains no medicine). In this study, the investigational drug is given as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin). Those who enter the study and receive the placebo will receive the investigational drug during the study extension period.

If you qualify, participation can last up to about 3 years, but will vary for each participant.

Neuronas

Por ejemplo, consideremos qué sucede cuando mira esta imagen. Cuando miramos, gritamos, caminamos o recordamos, es el resultado de señales que se transmiten a través de los 100 000 millones de células nerviosas que tenemos en el cerebro, llamadas neuronas. 

Estas neuronas se comunican entre sí mediante señales eléctricas. Estas señales pueden generar suficiente electricidad para encender una bombilla de luz de bajo consumo.1 La combinación de estas señales eléctricas y químicas es responsable de las acciones mencionadas arriba.
