Do you have parents who have Alzheimer’s disease and you’re concerned that you may soon be developing symptoms yourself?  That you want a cure to be found before it’s too late for you or your children?  There is something you can do.  Several prevention trials are going on that you may be interested in.  In particular, the A4 Study is for people with no symptoms but may have several reasons for thinking they may develop Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers need 1000 people to participate. You may be eligible if you:

• Are 65 to 85 years old
• Have normal thinking and memory abilities
• Have an A4 study partner – someone who has at least weekly contact with you who can answer questions once a year
• Are willing and able to receive IV infusions of the investigational treatment or placebo for 36 months (36 monthly infusions); all A4 participants must be willing and able to participate in all required procedures for the duration of the A4 study.
• Are willing to have your health monitored throughout the study using assessments such as:
  • Memory and thinking tests
  • ECGs (a look at your heart)
  • PET scan (a way to look for the plaques thought to be associated with AD)
  • MRI scans (a way to take a picture of your brain)
  • Blood and urine tests
