NCT ID NCT07544953

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether lecanemab, an FDA-approved Alzheimer's drug, can clear amyloid plaques in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease who also have early Alzheimer's pathology. About 60 adults aged 50-90 with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia will receive lecanemab for 18 months. The goal is to see if reducing amyloid buildup can slow Parkinson's progression, for which no disease-slowing treatments currently exist.
