Common seizure drug could be key to fighting Alzheimer's in down syndrome
NCT ID NCT07234695
Summary
This study is testing whether a medication called levetiracetam, commonly used for seizures, can prevent epileptic seizures in adults with Down syndrome who also have Alzheimer's disease. Researchers also want to see if the drug can slow down the brain changes and memory loss linked to Alzheimer's. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the real drug or a placebo for nearly two years, with regular check-ups to monitor their health and brain function.
