What this trial is about
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, irreversible neurological disorder and is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly population. Clinical symptoms of the disease may begin with occasional forgetfulness such as misplacement of items, forgetting important dates or events, and may progress to noticeable memory loss, increased confusion and agitation, and eventually, loss of independence and non-responsiveness. The purpose of this study is to test how safe ABBV-1758 is, how well it works, how the body processes it and what effects it has on the body. ABBV-1758 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This study is conducted in 3 stages. Stage A is a multiple ascending dose study with a 1 in 5 chance (4:1 randomization) that participants are assigned to receive placebo. Stage B is a dose expansion phase, also using 4:1 randomization for ABBV-1758 or placebo. Stage C enrolls Japanese and Chinese participants with the same randomization scheme. Approximately 210 participants will be enrolled at about 55 sites in the United States, China, and Japan. Participants will receive intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) doses of ABBV-1758 or placebo once every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 24 weeks and will be followed for additional 12 weeks in the Follow-up Period. Participants will have the option of participating in a 12-month, blinded Extension Period receiving ABBV-1758 or placebo based on amyloid PET results. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care due to study procedures. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The safety of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and completing questionnaires.
Who can take part
Inclusion criteria
- Participants meeting all the following criteria for Alzheimer's disease (AD):
- In regions where timely testing is feasible (e.g., results available within 4 weeks of Visit 1), plasma biomarker that is predictive of elevated brain amyloid at Screening for participants that do not have known elevated brain amyloid based on previous amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) results.
- Participants with amyloid positron emission tomography PET scan results consistent with significant amyloid pathology (as determined by a Centiloid value of 50 or higher).
- Participants must have a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of 20 or higher at Screening.
Exclusion criteria
- Participants with screening magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that show evidence of another potential etiology for progressive dementia.
- Participants who have any current serious conditions or illnesses that are not adequately controlled, or any conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with the analyses in this study, including but not limited to psychiatric, neurologic (other than AD), cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, gastroenterological, respiratory, endocrinologic, immunologic, or hematologic, metabolic, pulmonary, ophthalmologic, dermatologic, and/or any history of abnormal laboratory results that are indicative of significant disease(s).
- Participants who had prior exposure to ABBV-1758 or any history of exposure to anti-amyloid beta monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment.
- Participants with other significant pathological findings on brain MRI at screening, including but not limited to:
- Evidence of vasogenic edema
- 4 or more microhemorrhages (defined as 10 mm or less at the greatest diameter)
- Any macrohemorrhage (defined as greater than 10 mm at the greatest diameter)
- Any superficial siderosis
- Severe white matter disease
