PRImus AD

In order to participate in this study, you must be able to speak and read Dutch fluently. 

The goal of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective the new drug PRI-002 is for the treatment of participants with MCI or a mild form of dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease. The study compares the effect of the new drug PRI-002 with the effect of a placebo (a drug without an active ingredient, a ‘fake drug’). The study drug is a capsule that is taken orally.

In the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, certain proteins stick together. This eventually leads to changes in thinking and behaviour. It is hoped that PRI‑002 can cut these proteins back into small pieces. That could reduce the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

You and your study partner, someone who knows you well and can answer questions about your daily functioning, will visit the research center approximately 10 to 13 times, during approximately 1 to 2 years. The duration of a visit is not always the same because not every visit has the same procedures. Some of these visits may last 1 hour, others 3.5 hours. The research takes place in Amsterdam, Den Bosch or Zwolle.

This study is commissioned by PRInnovation GmbH.
