About AMBAR

AMBAR is a phase IIb/III international, multicenter, randomized blinded and placebo controlled, parallel group clinical trial that enrolled 496 patients with mild and moderate Alzheimer’s from 41 treatment centers in Spain and the United States. The study was designed to evaluate whether the progression of Alzheimer’s disease could be stabilized through plasma exchange, a process that entails periodically extracting plasma and replacing it with a specific albumin solution (Albutein®) and intravenous immunoglobulin (Flebogamma DIF®).
