Yearly Alzheimer's shot could keep symptoms at bay

NCT ID NCT07602582

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether people with Alzheimer's who already took the drug donanemab benefit from getting it just once a year. About 550 volunteers who finished a previous donanemab study will receive either the drug or a placebo for up to 2.5 years. Researchers will track changes in memory, daily function, and brain plaque levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
donanemab
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that annual infusions of donanemab help keep Alzheimer's symptoms from getting worse over time.
What could go wrong
This is an extension study, so participants already responded to donanemab. It's unclear if annual dosing alone is enough, and the trial is still recruiting.
