Study Summary:
A Phase III Clinical Trial for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease is Now Enrolling Study Participants in the United States
The Gammaglobulin Alzheimer’s Partnership (GAP) Study is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of the investigational drug Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIg) for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). IVIg is a biologic agent with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties; this study is being conducted to determine if IVIg can help slow the progression of AD symptoms.
Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIg) has been approved and used successfully for over 20 years to treat a variety of autoimmune and immunodeficiency diseases. Since the late 1990s, there has been increasing evidence that immunotherapy targeting the amyloid beta (Aß) peptide can be used to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD). IVIg has been found to contain anti-amyloid antibodies in various studies, although its mechanism of action in AD is still unknown.
