  • Research summary

    vTv Therapeutics has begun a research study of an investigational drug called azeliragon (TTP488) as a possible treatment for mild Alzheimer’s disease.

    Alzheimer’s disease is a disorder characterised by progressive loss of memory, thinking, and behaviour. An earlier study in patients having mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease has demonstrated more pronounced benefit of treatment with azeliragon plus standard of care when compared to standard of care treatment alone. The main purpose of this study is offer azeliragon to those participants who have completed the TTP488-301 (STEADFAST) study and to continue to learn how well azeliragon works and how safe this study medication is in participants with Alzheimer’s disease.

    It is an open label study lasting for approximately 2 years. This study will be carried out in approximately 115 centers in 7 countries (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Ireland). Up to 800 people with Alzheimer’s disease, who have completed the TTP488-301 (STEADFAST) study will be invited to join this study. Each research participant must have one caregiver willing to assist, who will be asked to sign a separate consent outlining their role.
