Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of atomoxetine and its effect primarily on the biologic markers (substances that may indicate the presence of a disease) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of participants diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Additionally, information will be gathered to identify the dose of atomoxetine that is most beneficial, and how taking this medication affects thinking and behavior, as well as imaging and blood biomarkers.The study will also explore rates of change in biomarkers of neurodegeneration (Aß, tau, brain atrophy rates). The results of this research will help determine if atomoxetine alters signs of inflammation and other biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Primary Outcome

This study will examine the effects of Atomoxetine and Inactive compound on biomarkers of inflammation by measuring and comparing the levels of Interleukin 1 (IL 1-alpha) using the assay of CSF at Baseline, Week 29 and Week 58 among the two groups. The study hypothesizes that the period that participants are treated with atomoxetine will have reductions in levels of these pro-inflammatory biomarkers among the two groups.
