INTREPAD stands for Investigation of Naproxen TReatment Effects in Pre-symptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease.

This trial was intended to determine if a low dose of an anti-inflammatory drug would change the trajectory of the presymptomatic progression of AD. This presymptomatic progression was tracked by a multimodal composite score, the Alzheimer Progression Score.
