About

This is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VHB937 in participants with early AD followed by an Extension. The double-blind part is 72 weeks long, followed by an extension.

Full description

The purpose of this study is to find out whether treatment with VHB937 is safe and beneficial in people with early Alzheimer's disease. The study will evaluate the safety of VHB937, as well as its effects on memory and other thinking abilities, on daily activities, and on changes in the brain. The study will also observe and measure how VHB937 is processed by the body and how the body responds to it.
