Resumen

La enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) es un trastorno degenerativo del cerebro relacionado con la edad, caracterizado por un deterioro progresivo de la función cognitiva y la capacidad para realizar actividades de la vida diaria, y que en última instancia puede conducir a la muerte debido a complicaciones de la enfermedad. Se cree que la EA es causada por un exceso de beta amiloide A, una proteína pegajosa en el cerebro que forma placas amiloides. Los tratamientos que enlentecen la síntesis o el depósito de beta amiloide A, o que aumentan su eliminación, podrían esperarse que enlentezcan la progresión de la EA. LY2062430 (solanezumab) es un anticuerpo monoclonal humanizado anti-péptido beta A de tipo inmunoglobulina G-1 (IgG1) que se encuentra en desarrollo para el tratamiento de la EA. La hipótesis principal que se evalúa es que LY2062430 enlentecerá el deterioro cognitivo y funcional en la EA en comparación con placebo. La participación de cada paciente durará aproximadamente 19 meses. Los pacientes que toman medicamentos aprobados para la EA pueden participar en este estudio y continuar tomando estos medicamentos durante el estudio.
