NIH-supported Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study group will undertake four clinical trials over five years
With new research funding from the National Institutes of Health, the USAs leading Alzheimers disease study network will undertake four major studies aimed at finding new treatments for the disease.
The award supports the latest projects of the Alzheimers Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS), a consortium of academic medical centers and clinics set up by NIH in 1991 to collaborate on the development of Alzheimers treatments and diagnostic tools.
In this round of studies, the ADCS will test drug and exercise interventions in people in the early stages of the disease, examine a medication to reduce agitation in people with Alzheimers dementia, and test a cutting-edge approach to speed testing of drugs in clinical trials.
