Conditions: Alzheimer's Disease

Summary: the name of this trial is missionad1. this phase 3 study consists of a core and open label extension (ole) phase in participants with early alzheimer's disease (ead), and will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of e2609. the core is a 24-month treatment, multicenter, double blind, placebo controlled parallel group study. the ole is a 24-month treatment, one group study. the data for the studies e2609-g000-301 (nct02956486, missionad1) and e2609-g000-302 (nct03036280, missionad2) will be pooled.
