Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange with 5% albumin in beta-amyloid peptide clearance in cerebrospinal fluid, and its effects in patients with mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease.

Primary Outcome

Change in levels of Aβ1-42 in CSF in the period between baseline lumbar puncture (before the start of treatment) and lumbar puncture immediately after the end of the last plasma exchange (whenever this may be). Separate assays of Aβ1-42 were performed with Innotest and The Genetics Company commercial kits.

Interventions
