T2 Protect AD: Troriluzole Trial (T2) for Alzheimer's Disease

Overview

T2 Protect AD is a clinical trial testing the investigational drug troriluzole in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
 
The study is designed to determine whether this new drug can protect against, slow down, or potentially improve memory and thinking problems that increase as Alzheimer’s disease progresses.
 
Troriluzole is a drug that affects a chemical in the brain called glutamate. Problems with glutamate in the brain can affect nerve health and communication and may lead to nerve cell death. Nerve cell death leads to diseases, including Alzheimer’s.
 
Troriluzole may be beneficial to people with early Alzheimer’s disease by improving symptoms and/or slowing the progression of the disease.
 
The study is being conducted by Dr. Farlow/Indiana University. Study visits take place at Goodman Hall at the IU Health Neuroscience Center in Indianapolis.  This study is sponsored by Biohaven Pharmaceuticals Inc.
