Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (MCI to mild dementia) confirmed by amyloid PET or CSF, with MMSE ≥22 and CDR global score 0.5 or 1.0, who can complete imaging and neuropsychological testing and participate with a study partner.

Probably not a fit

Patients with more advanced dementia, no evidence of amyloid pathology, inability to undergo required imaging or testing, or who cannot commit to scheduled visits 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 phase 3 interventional trial enrolls people with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease who have evidence of amyloid pathology by PET or qualifying CSF and meet cognitive criteria. Participants receive trontinemab or placebo and undergo regular cognitive and functional testing alongside safety monitoring. The protocol requires MRI and biomarker procedures (amyloid PET or CSF) and clinical genotyping at screening and during follow-up. The main goals are to see if trontinemab slows clinical decline and to characterize its safety and biomarker effects in this population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, trontinemab could slow cognitive decline and delay progression in people with early Alzheimer's disease.

How similar studies have gone: Other anti-amyloid antibody programs have shown mixed results—some reduced brain amyloid and produced modest clinical benefits in early AD, while others did not demonstrate meaningful slowing of decline.

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
