This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study comparing LIPUS-Brain transcranial low-intensity pulsed-wave ultrasound device to placebo in patients with Early Alzheimer's Disease. The primary objective of the study is to assess changes in ADAS-J-cog-14 scores from baseline to 72 weeks.
3,678 studies on the registry are indexed under Alzheimer Disease; 872 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 220 is above the median of 70 across 2,808 interventional studies indexed under Alzheimer Disease.
