McDade with trial participant (IMAGE)
Caption
Neurologist Eric McDade, DO, meets with Marty Reiswig, a participant in Alzheimer’s prevention trials at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Reiswig comes from a family with a genetic mutation that puts carriers at high risk of developing Alzheimer’s. McDade is the director of a new Alzheimer’s prevention trial involving young adults from high-risk families. The trial is evaluating whether an investigational drug can clear a key Alzheimer’s protein called amyloid beta, and slow or stop the disease.
