Summary of the Proposed Research:

• The project background:
With the arrival of the global aging society, there is a new case of dementia every 3 seconds in the world. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-70%. Currently, we are facing the huge social and economic pressure brought by AD. Unfortunately, there are no drugs known to effectively treat Alzheimer’s disease.

• Necessity of the research;
Recent two years, two new drugs probed by United States Food and Drug Administration and China National Medical Products Administration, as well as some ongoing clinical trials suggest that these drugs maybe delay the progression of AD when used in the early stage of AD. However, the early stage of AD not easy to identified. In addition, some previous studies showed that different subgroups in the early stage of AD maybe exist different cognition decline pattern.

• How the research will add to medical science or patient care;
This research will help to optimize the design of clinical trials in the future.
