Study Overview

Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

AFFITOPE AD02 is a second generation AD immunotherapeutics targeting Aβ. Its active component is a synthetic peptide functionally mimicking the unmodified N-terminus of Aβ.
