Alzheimer's Tau Platform: Regimen A - AADvac1

This study, called Regimen A, is part of a larger research program looking into new treatments for Alzheimer's disease. It's testing a drug called AADvac1, either by itself or together with another drug called donanemab. Donanemab will also be given alone as a comparison. The goal is to see if these treatments can reduce tau protein buildup in the brain, which is a sign of Alzheimer's. You might be able to join if you are between 50 and 80 years old and have early signs of Alzheimer's or are at risk for it. The study plans to enroll 450 people. Success will be measured by how much tau protein in the brain changes over 30 months, as seen on special brain scans (PET scans). The current status of this specific study is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It's part of a larger "platform" trial where different treatments can be tested at the same time or one after another. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive AADvac1 alone, AADvac1 with donanemab, or donanemab alone.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The main goal of the study will be measured over 30 months, suggesting participants will be followed for at least that long.

Where you'd take part

This study runs at 3 sites. They're the same protocol — you choose where, and that choice sets who your contact draft is addressed to.

  • Reduction of brain tau deposition as measured by tau positron emission tomography (PET)0, 6, 18 and 30 months

    To determine whether at least one tau therapy, either alone or in combination with donanemab, will produce a greater reduction in brain tau deposition as measured by 18F-MK-6240 PET compared to donanemab alone.
