Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are people with early symptomatic AD (MCI to mild dementia) who have amyloid-positive PET or qualifying CSF biomarkers, MMSE ≥ 22, CDR-GS 0.5 or 1.0, and who can undergo MRI, PET or CSF procedures and travel to a study site.

Probably not a fit

People with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s disease, without biomarker evidence of amyloid pathology, or who cannot undergo required imaging/CSF procedures are unlikely to benefit from this trial.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 3 interventional trial comparing trontinemab to placebo in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease. Eligible participants must have biomarker-confirmed AD pathology by amyloid PET or a CSF tau181/Aβ42 ratio and meet cognitive staging criteria (MMSE ≥ 22, CDR-GS 0.5 or 1.0). The protocol includes MRI, clinical genotyping, and PET imaging or CSF sampling, with regular clinical and cognitive assessments. Study sites are located in Arizona and California.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, trontinemab could slow cognitive decline and delay progression from mild impairment to greater dementia.

How similar studies have gone: Other anti-amyloid antibody programs have shown mixed results, with some recent agents demonstrating modest slowing of decline but ongoing questions about clinical impact and safety.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Willingness and ability to complete all aspects of the study (including MRI, clinical genotyping, and PET imaging or CSF as applicable) for the duration of the study. The participant should be capable of completing assessments either alone or with the help of the study partner
* Adequate visual and auditory acuity, in the investigator's judgment, sufficient to perform the neuropsychological testing (eyewear and hearing aids are permitted)
* Evidence of AD pathological process, as confirmed on amyloid PET scan. A CSF tau181/Aβ42 ratio may be used as an alternative option if amyloid PET is not available
* Probable AD dementia or MCI due to AD, also known as an Alzheimer's clinical syndrome clinical Stage 3 or Stage 4
* Screening MMSE score ≥ 22 and CDR-GS of 0.5 or 1.0
* Participant- and/or Informant-reported history of cognitive decline with gradual onset and progression over the last 1 year before screening
* A Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status Delayed Memory Index (RBANS DMI) score of 85 or order
* Availability of a "study partner" as defined by the protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any evidence of a condition other than AD that may affect cognition
* History or presence of clinically significant cerebrovascular disease
* History of severe, clinically significant (persistent neurologic deficit or structural brain damage) central nervous system (CNS) trauma
* History or presence of clinically significant intracranial mass
* MRI evidence of significant cerebral abnormalities or inability to tolerate MRI procedures or contraindication to MRI
* Any other medical conditions (e.g., cardiovascular, hepatic, renal disease) which are not stable and adequately controlled or which in the opinion of the investigator could affect the participant's safety in the study or interfere with the study assessments
* History of malignancy with the following exceptions: if considered to be cured; malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death
