DALLAS: “Enrolling the first study participants marks a major milestone for the trial and Alzheimer’s prevention research,” said Pierre N. Tariot, MD, one of the API leaders and director of BAI, a division of Banner Health, one of the largest nonprofit healthcare systems in the United States. “By studying this high-risk population, we hope to assess each treatment’s potential to preserve memory and thinking as well as their effects on biological measures of the disease.”
The study is sponsored by Novartis, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, and Amgen, a biotechnology company based in Thousand Oaks, CA, in collaboration with BAI, with funding from the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as the Alzheimer’s Association, FBRI, GHR Foundation and Banner Alzheimer’s Foundation.
The Generation Study is part of the API, an international collaborative led by BAI to accelerate the evaluation of promising treatments. It will enroll at about 90 sites across North America, Europe and Australia, including BAI’s Phoenix headquarters…..
