Exploratory Study of Low-Dose Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy With HeLaXON 1X in Patients With Mild Alzheimer's Disease Dementia

Resumen breve

This randomized, sham-controlled, exploratory clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of HeLaXON, an investigational low-dose radiation therapy device, in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease dementia. A total of 30 participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either low-dose whole-brain radiation therapy or a sham procedure using the same device. Participants in the treatment group will receive 0.04 Gy per session twice weekly for 3 weeks, for a total of 6 sessions and a cumulative dose of 0.24 Gy. Participants in the sham group will undergo the same device procedures without radiation delivery. Participants and outcome assessors will remain blinded to treatment assignment. Changes in cognitive function, dementia severity, daily functioning, and amyloid burden will be evaluated at 6 and 12 months after treatment. Safety will be assessed throughout the study. Exploratory blood biomarkers, including plasma Aβ42/40 ratio, p-tau217, and Aβ oligomer, will also be evaluated.
