Start Date

Location

Charleston, South Carolina

Position Description

We are currently looking for Veterans ages 55-80 who do not yet have symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, but who are interested in participating in clinical trials aiming to help prevent memory problems in the future.

The AHEAD Study uses a blood test to rule out people not likely to be eligible based on amyloid PET imaging. If eligible to enroll, individuals have the opportunity to receive the drug Lecanemab, which has already been shown to lower brain amyloid in people with symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. This trial will now use the same drug to target individuals with the earliest changes in the brain due to Alzheimer's.
