EISAI BAN 2401 Campaign
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY?
To assess the safety and efficacy of the study drug, BAN2401, in patients who have early Alzheimer’s disease.
BAN2401 is a monoclonal antibody. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that bind to foreign substances in the body called antigens.
BAN2401 binds to amyloid in the brain in patients with AD and has been shown to reduce the amount of this abnormal protein.
WHAT WILL YOU GET?
BAN2401 is given by an intravenous infusion, which is an injection into a vein. You will receive study drug or placebo injections, every 2 weeks for up to 18 months during the main study period. After the completion of the main 18 month study phase, you may receive an invitation to participate in an optional open-label extension study phase. The entire study will take about 4 and a half years to complete.
You have a 50-50 chance of receiving BAN2401.
During the study no one will know what study medication they are on. Each person will receive an infusion regardless of which group the person was assigned to.
