Washington University In St Louis Leads International Alzheimers Clinical Trial To Test Tau Drugs

Inaugural Program With Undergraduates Launched To Study Alzheimer S And Researchers leading a worldwide clinical trial aimed at finding treatments for alzheimer’s disease are modifying an arm of the trial to evaluate a combination of drugs targeting two brain proteins: amyloid and tau. The trial, led by washington university school of medicine in st. louis, aims to determine whether stopping the early molecular changes that lead to symptomatic alzheimer’s disease can prevent the disease from ever taking hold.

Closing The Gap In Alzheimer S Research Ubc Faculty Of Medicine The trial, known as the dominantly inherited alzheimer network trials unit (dian tu) and led by washington university school of medicine in st. louis, launched in 2012 as the first prevention trial for alzheimer’s disease. An international clinical trial aimed at finding treatments for alzheimer’s disease has expanded to include investigational drugs targeting a harmful form of the brain protein tau. Washington university school of medicine in st. louis has received a $4.3 million award from the alzheimer’s association to expand a major international clinical trial evaluating whether drugs can prevent alzheimer’s disease in patients genetically predisposed to develop the devastating disease at a young age. The washington university school of medicine in st. louis (washu medicine) has initiated a groundbreaking international clinical trial to prevent alzheimer’s disease in young adults who are at high genetic risk for developing the condition.
