Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals with early Alzheimer's disease who have a reliable study partner and meet specific cognitive and functional criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant cognitive impairment or other neurological diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Remternetug (LY3372993) in delaying the progression of memory, thinking, or functional problems associated with early Alzheimer's disease compared to a placebo. Participants will undergo a screening process followed by a double-blind treatment period, where neither the participants nor the researchers will know who receives the drug or placebo. The study may last up to 255 weeks, allowing for an extension period for those initially receiving placebo to switch to the active treatment. The primary focus is on measuring cognitive decline over time in participants with confirmed amyloid pathology.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly slow the progression of cognitive decline in patients with early Alzheimer's disease.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies targeting amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's have shown promise, suggesting potential for success with this approach.

Inclusion Criteria: * Have a phosphorylated tau (P-tau) result consistent with the presence of amyloid pathology. * Have a reliable study partner and backup study partner familiar with overall function and behavior, such as day-to-day activities and cognitive abilities. * Have adequate literacy, vision, and hearing for neuropsychological testing at screening. * Have a Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE) score consistent with no to minimal cognitive impairment. * Have a Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ) score consistent with no to minimal functional impairment. * If currently receiving medications as symptomatic treatment for AD, dose has been stable for at least 30 days before screening. Exclusion Criteria: * Have dementia or significant other neurological disease that can affect cognition. * Have current serious or unstable illnesses that in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with the analyses of the study. * Have a history of cancer that, in the investigator's opinion, has a high risk of recurrence. * Have a history of clinically significant multiple or severe drug allergies, or hypersensitivity reactions. * Have a clinically important laboratory test result or other abnormality as determined by investigator, prior to randomization, that could be detrimental to the participant or could compromise the study. * Have any contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). * Have a centrally read MRI that does not meets study entry criteria. Prior or Current Therapies * Have ever had prior treatment with a passive anti-amyloid immunotherapy. * Have received active immunization against Aβ in any other study.
