Today, at least 50,000 volunteers, both with and without Alzheimer's disease, are urgently needed to participate in more than 130 actively enrolling clinical trials about Alzheimer's and related dementias.

Dr. Jeffrey Commings, member of Amarantus's Alzheimer's Disease Diagnostics SAB, is interviewed on Biogen's Aducanumab. The company is currently enrolling patients for an upcoming large scale (2700 participants) 18-month Phase 3 trial.

Other trials among the 130 include as example:
Eli Lilly’s solanezumab, is currently running a large phase III trial, slated to end in October 2016, only in people with mild Alzheimer’s disease. Lilly's previous study didn't actually measure amyloid decline.
Axovant anticipates starting a phase 3 trial by the fourth quarter of this year and could bring RVT-101 to pharmacy shelves by as early as 2017
Roche's anti-amyloid plaque monoclonal antibody crenezumab will move into late-stage Phase 3 development. The company is looking to begin new clinical trials of its other monoclonal antibody, ganternerumab, after shutting down a Phase 3 trial in December.
Dr. JEFFREY L. CUMMINGS, M.D., SC.D.
