Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder—a disorder in which brain cells are lost. It is characterized by progressive loss of memory and cognitive function, such as movement control and decision-making ability. It is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly and affects about 18 million people worldwide—5 million in the U.S. alone. Although there’s currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, research is under way to find a new treatment to help slow down the progression of the disease.
We're looking for volunteers to participate in a clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug to help control the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Ask your doctor if the ICARA study is right for you.
