The TRAILRUNNER-ALZ 2 Study

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.

Neurons

See how you’re staring at this image? When we stare, shout, walk, or remember, it’s the result of signals passing through the 100 billion nerve cells in our brain called neurons.

Electrical charges help these neurons talk to each other. These charges can generate enough electricity to power a low-wattage bulb!1 The combination of these electrical and chemical signals is responsible for the actions mentioned above.
