Clinical Trial Summary

This is an expanded access program (EAP) for eligible participants. This program is designed to provide continued access to TRx0237 to individual patients with early and mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease who do not qualify for participation in an ongoing clinical trial. Eligible participants must have previously completed participation in a clinical trial of TRx0237 conducted by TauRx or have previously taken TRx0237 in a compassionate use program, among other criteria. Patients will be considered where a physician can demonstrate clinical benefit for a patient not meeting these criteria; in these cases, TauRx will consider participation of the patient on a case-by-case basis.
