NCT ID NCT07221344

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new drug called ARO-MAPT-SC in healthy people and those with early Alzheimer's. The goal is to check if it is safe and how the body processes it. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo by injection under the skin. The trial is still in early stages, so it focuses on safety and dosing, not yet on curing the disease.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ARO-MAPT-SC (a drug given by injection under the skin)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a treatment that slows or stops early Alzheimer's disease by targeting a key protein in the brain.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 112 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The drug may cause side effects or fail to show benefit.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria (All Participants): * Body mass index between 18.0 and 35.0 kilograms (kg)/square meter (m\^2) at Screening * Not pregnant or breast-feeding * Able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to the performance of any study specific procedures * Participants of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception in addition to a condom during the study and for at least 90 days following the end of the study or last dose of study drug, whichever is later; participants must not donate sperm or eggs during the study and for at least 90 days following the end of the study or last dose of study drug whichever is later Inclusion Criteria (Alzheimer's Disease): * Adults aged 50 to 80 years of age with a clinical diagnosis of early AD and plasma, CSF, or imaging biomarkers consistent with the diagnosis * If participant is on non-disease-modifying AD medications, the doses must be stable for ≥weeks prior to Screening. 1. Participants with early AD are not required to be on AD medications. 2. Participants previously treated or currently receiving anti-amyloid therapies, including lecanemab and donanemab, are not eligible. * Have a reliable and competent caregiver or trial partner who is ≥18 years of age, able and willing to accompany the participant to study visits involving informant-based assessments, to be available to site staff by telephone as needed, and in the opinion of the Investigator, be sufficiently familiar with the participant throughout the study in order to provide accurate and reliable information relevant to study outcome measures Exclusion Criteria (All Participants): * Blood pressure outside of specified range in the protocol * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (seropositive at Screening) * Seropositive for hepatitis B (HBV) or hepatitis C (HCV) at Screening * Intellectual disability or significant behavioral neuropsychiatric manifestation * Clinically significant cardiac, liver, or renal disease * Any contraindications to lumbar puncture * Known allergy or possible allergy to either ARO-MAPT-SC or to its excipients Note: Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply per protocol.
