Diabetes drug trial aims to halt silent brain disease linked to stroke and dementia

NCT ID NCT05356104

Summary

This study is testing if a medication commonly used for diabetes (a GLP-1 analogue) can safely slow down or stop the progression of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), a major cause of stroke and dementia. It will involve 110 Chinese adults aged 55-80 who already have moderate signs of the disease on a brain scan. Participants will either receive the drug plus standard care or standard care alone for 78 weeks to see if the drug improves brain health, thinking skills, and mobility.
