Overview

JNJ-63733657 is an laboratory-produced antibody which is designed to recognise and bind to a protein called "tau". Tau is a protein that builds up in the brain and may cause memory loss. This trial will determine if this antibody may prevent tau from spreading in the brain and slow memory loss/cognitive and functional decline.

This study has been approved by Belberry Human research Ethics committee (2020-07-696)
