What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in humans, currently affecting almost one million people in France. It results from an irreversible degeneration of neurons responsible for a progressive decline in the main cognitive and memory functions due to a cerebral accumulation of plaques containing fibrillary amyloid peptide (Aฮฒ) and neurofibrillary tangles composed of truncated, hyperphosphorylated tau protein (pTau). There is currently no curative treatment for this disease in France. However, two treatments aimed at reducing beta-amyloid plaques in the brain have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The failure of the latest therapeutic strategies is largely due to the fact that the disease is diagnosed too late, starting with a long asymptomatic phase, which is the one that needs to be targeted in order to prevent irreversible neurodegenerative mec
