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

The goal of this research is to find out how safe and potentially effective the new drug obicetrapib is for the treatment of participants with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease (mild cognitive impairment or beginning dementia). The research drug is taken in the form of a tablet.  

In Alzheimer’s disease, the different types of cholesterol are not present at the right levels. The study drug obicetrapib lowers levels of one kind of cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and increases the level of another kind (HDL cholesterol). Also, in Alzheimer’s disease, the transport of cholesterol between cells in the brain works less well. Obicetrapib could potentially influence this process. It is possible that if these processes are addressed, the level of disease-causing proteins in the brain could decrease. Whether that actually happens, is the subject of this study. 

You and your study partner, someone who knows you well and can answer questions about your daily functioning, will visit the research center approximately 8 times, during approximately 36 weeks. In addition, you will also have several telephone conversations. The duration of a visit is not always the same because not every visit has the same checks. Some of these visits may last 6 hours, others 3.5 hours. A phone call takes around 15 minutes. 

This research is sponsored by NewAmsterdam Pharma.
