Is there any talk of doing a trial with pre-symptomatic 4/4s yet? I spoke with an Alzheon rep at the AAIC conference in Amsterdam about the enthusiasm for a prevention trial for ApoE 4/4s and he seemed to indicate it's coming. (They never want to get ahead of their skis on trials!) It's on the webs...

Big news everyone! CTAD 2023 is all ready to go for late October. I suppose timing wise San Francisco is more late fall in early December, and Boston is more late fall in early November and more early sub-arctic by early December. ...

Are there current studies going on looking at Homotaurine? The studies I have found are old and have no results posted. Hi Tabby, As described in Alzforum, homotaurine has undergone some changes that explain why it's not currently in clinical trials: This is a prodrug of homotaurine, a modified ami...

Part of the study provides access to PET scans and numerous cognitive tests. I was excited about accessing a PET scan because there is ...
