PrimeTime with Bob: Meet Dr. Hamid Okhravi, MD
Dr. Hamid Okhravi, Associate Professor of Geriatrics and Director, Memory Consultation Clinic, Glennan Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology at Eastern Virginia Medical School talks with Executive Director Bob Batcher of Primeplus Senior Centers about Alzheimer's disease, dementia and the current clinical trial AHEAD3-45 at the Glennan Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology.
During the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, amyloid protein forms plaques in the brain. The AHEAD study is a Phase 3 clinical trial that will test whether the study drug, Lecanemab (BAN2401), reduces brain amyloid buildup in people with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Study participants will be enrolled in one of two AHEAD trials based on whether they have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brain.
Learn more about the AHEAD3-45 study and how you can become involved.
