Overview:
Anavex Life Sciences is seeking volunteers to participate in a new clinical trial for people with mild Alzheimer's disease. ANAVEX2-73 is a small molecule that has shown in research studies to improve mental activities that are involved in learning, remembering and using general daily knowledge. These results are associated with ANAVEX2-73 possibly having protective properties on the brain neurons (brain nerve cells) that are usually damaged in Alzheimer’s disease. It is thought that ANAVEX2-73 acts by attaching to and activating specific proteins called “survival receptors” and this may enable ANAVEX2-73 to modify the disease.

Participation in this study will involve taking a daily oral tablet (ANAVEX2-73 or placebo) and visiting a research centre for 8 study appointments over a 48 week period. To be eligible to participate, participants must be:

Between 60 and 85 years of age
Have a diagnosis of mild Alzheimer's disease
Have a study partner able attend study appointments
Can read and converse in English
