Clinical- and Immunological Activity, Safety and Tolerability of Different Doses / Formulations of AFFITOPE AD02 in Early Alzheimer's Disease

December 10, 2013 updated by: Affiris AG

A Randomized, Controlled, Parallel Group, Double-blind, Multi-center, Phase II Study to Assess the Clinical- and Immunological Activity,as Well as the Safety and Tolerability of Different Doses/Formulations of AFFITOPE AD02 Administered Repeatedly to Patients With Early Alzheimer's Disease

This is a multiple vaccination study to find out if it is a safe treatment and what effects it has on the symptoms of early Alzheimer's disease in male and female patients aged 50 to 80 years. Approximately 40 study sites in Europe will be involved. Patients will be randomized to receive either AFFITOPE AD02 or placebo. Each patient's participation will last 1 year.
