First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding near-infrared light therapy to the drug lecanemab can safely improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. About 20 participants will receive either real light therapy or a sham device along with lecanemab for 16 weeks, then all will get the real light therapy for up to 48 weeks. The goal is to see if the combination slows cognitive decline better than the drug alone.
