The ALTITUDE-AD Study
Help us learn more about an investigational drug for early Alzheimer’s disease.
Taking part in a clinical trial
Before a new medication can be approved for public use, researchers must learn more about it through clinical research studies, also referred to as clinical trials. Clinical trials gather valuable information that could lead to better treatments and, with the right breakthrough, better outcomes.
- The goal of this process is to learn whether the study drug works and is safe for people.
- Clinical research studies, often called clinical trials, are important to the future of medicine.
Informed consent
Informed consent is a process in which the study team gives you information about a clinical trial so you can decide whether you want to participate in it.
- You will be asked to review an informed consent form, which describes the study in detail and its possible benefits and risks
- If you decide that you are interested in joining the study after reviewing this information, the study team will ask you to sign the informed consent form.
- You can decide to stop participating in the study at any time, for any reason.
