El estudio ALTITUDE-AD
Ayúdenos a obtener más información sobre un fármaco en investigación para la enfermedad de Alzheimer de inicio temprano.
¿Tiene usted o un ser querido problemas de memoria?
Los problemas de memoria y pensamiento pueden ser un signo de enfermedad de Alzheimer de inicio temprano. Los cambios en el cerebro relacionados con la enfermedad de Alzheimer comienzan años antes de que haya signos o síntomas de la enfermedad.1 La enfermedad de Alzheimer tiende a desarrollarse lentamente y empeora gradualmente con el tiempo.
El estudio ALTITUDE-AD está estudiando si un fármaco en investigación podría ser seguro y eficaz en el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Alzheimer.
Realice una breve encuesta de preselección para ver si reúne los requisitos.
¿Quién es elegible para participar?
Los participantes del estudio deben
tener entre 50 y 90 años
haber estado experimentando pérdida de memoria o tener un diagnóstico* de
- deterioro cognitivo leve o
- demencia leve debida a la enfermedad de Alzheimer
