Merck MK-831 019 Study – Recruitment closed
This is a study in mild cognitive impairment testing a novel drug (MK-8931) that is expected to reduce levels of Abeta, an abnormal protein that is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Mild cognitive impairment is considered an earlier stage of memory loss that may progress to dementia. The decision to study this drug in the mild cognitive impairment population is based on the hypothesis that treating this disease earlier in the process may lead to better outcomes.

Study Length: 112 weeks
