Alzheimer’s
Debilitating
Incurable
Devastating
Not a normal part of aging

Alzheimer’s vs. Dementia
![Page 4: Mci sympsium webinar nov 30 2012 langbaum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54692e76af795939568b4e23/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Understanding Alzheimer’sThis neurological disease causes devastating damage, ultimately robbing an individual of mental and physical capacity
Its cause is still unknown, but a leading scientific hypothesis links Alzheimer’s to excessive build-up of the protein amyloid in the brain
Some people are at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s because of their genetic background
![Page 5: Mci sympsium webinar nov 30 2012 langbaum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54692e76af795939568b4e23/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Understanding Alzheimer’sSubtle changes begin taking place in the brain years before the first problems with memory or thinking appear
Advanced imaging, biomarker techniques and sophisticated cognitive measures can detect these changes in brain structure and function
Promising treatments may need to be started at the pre-symptomatic stage of the disease to have their most profound effect

Alzheimer’s by the Numbers
Someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s every 6.9 seconds in this country
5.4 million Americans are currently affected by Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States
Alzheimer’s is the only top 10 cause of death that cannot be prevented, treated or cured
Alzheimer’s cost of care is projected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2050

77% of U.S adults are concerned
about personal memory loss,
while 85% are concerned over
memory loss in loved ones

Alzheimer’s Prevention Trials – why now?
The urgent need
Suggested but unproven “healthy lifestyle” interventions
Investigational Alzheimer’s disease modifying treatments
“Too little too late”
Biomarkers & sensitive cognitive measures
![Page 9: Mci sympsium webinar nov 30 2012 langbaum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54692e76af795939568b4e23/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease Treatments: a proposed definition
“interventions started before the onset of cognitive decline and intended to postpone the onset, reduce the risk of,
or completely prevent Alzheimer’s symptoms”
Reiman et al, Biomarkers Med 2010

Alzheimer’s Prevention Initiative / Genentech Treatment Trial – Colombia*
• 300 participants– 200 carriers, 100 noncarriers– Standard of care is not to disclose genetic
status
• up to 18 months for enrollment• 104-260 week trial in 200 carriers to study
efficacy of treatment by comparing change in in cognition and biomarkers
• Natural history (“cohort study”) of 100 placebo-treated carrier & non-carriers
* A separate US protocol will enroll ~30 carriers and non-carriers in a similar fashion

Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry
Inclusive, online community of people who are passionate about advancing research in Alzheimer’s
Designed to help generate critical public awareness around the disease
A shared resource benefiting the general research community and organizations nationwide
People in the Registry may have the opportunity to participate in research studies within their community
• Participants are sent emails informing them of potential study opportunities, but are never any obligation to join a study
• All information is kept confidential and is not shared without your explicit permission

What We Hope to Accomplish
Keep enrollees informed of latest news, advocacy to drive focus on Alzheimer’s
Provide an unprecedented resource of potential study participants for prevention research ,
decreasing enrollment time
Offer valuable resources of simple, easy to understand news in partnership with AlzForum
