Can a new drug reach the brain to fight Alzheimer's?
NCT ID NCT07787182
First seen Aug 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of an experimental drug called LY4405094 in healthy volunteers and people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will measure how much of the drug enters the bloodstream and the fluid around the brain, and in Alzheimer's participants, they'll track levels of a key Alzheimer's-related protein. The study aims to understand how the drug behaves in the body and whether it might be a future treatment option.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LY4405094, an experimental drug given intravenously or under the skin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment that targets Alzheimer's-related proteins in the brain, potentially slowing the disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 study focused on safety and dosing, so it's too soon to know if LY4405094 will work. Possible risks include allergic reactions and side effects from the drug.
