Researchers are participating in a nationwide study that will test an experimental treatment to target the source of the disease. The experimental drug may block a critical pathway in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) that causes damage to the nerve cells in the brain.

You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Are age 50 or older and have mild to moderate AD
- Have not suffered from serious or unstable diseases within the past three months
