This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests different dosing schedules of the drug donanemab in about 1,175 people with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to find a regimen that lowers brain amyloid plaques while reducing the risk of a side effect called ARIA-E (brain swelling or small bleeds). Participants will receive donanemab infusions and be monitored for up to 91 weeks. The study also looks at patient traits that might predict who is more likely to develop ARIA.
