Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (A4 Study)

The purpose of this study is to test whether an investigational drug called solanezumab can
slow the progression of memory problems associated with brain amyloid (protein that forms
plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer Disease [AD]).

The A4 study is a clinical trial for older individuals who have evidence of amyloid plaque
build-up in their brains who may be at risk for memory loss and cognitive decline due to
Alzheimer's disease. The A4 study will test an anti-amyloid investigational drug in older
individuals who do not yet show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease cognitive impairment or
dementia with the aim of slowing memory and cognitive decline. The A4 study will also test
whether anti-amyloid treatment can delay the progression of AD related brain injury on
imaging and other biomarkers.
