NOW ENROLLING: The PiroAD Study For Adults With Mild Dementia Due To Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly population. Dementia is a general term for loss of memory, language, and other cognitive (thinking) abilities that interferes with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease is progressive, which means that dementia symptoms are mild in the beginning but gradually worsen over a number of years. As the world’s population continues to age, researchers continue to explore dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease and possible investigational drugs for these patients.

PiroAD is studying an investigational drug for adults with mild dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The purpose of this study is to find out if the investigational drug is effective and safe.

Participants will be in this study for approximately 80 weeks (about 1.5 years). Participants and their caregivers/study partners will be asked to attend 7 study site visits during this time period.

To be eligible for this study, participants must:

 Be 60 to 85 years of age

 Have a history of mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease for at least 12 months

 Have a caregiver/study partner (who is not expected to change during the study) to attend study visits and support study responsibilities
