Can a new drug stop inherited Alzheimer's in its tracks?

NCT ID NCT06384573

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 lecanemab, an antibody that targets amyloid plaques in the brain, in 40 people who carry a gene mutation that causes early-onset Alzheimer's. Participants previously received another anti-amyloid drug and will now receive lecanemab to see if it can fully clear amyloid plaques and slow cognitive decline. The goal is to understand whether aggressive amyloid removal can delay or prevent the onset of dementia in this high-risk group.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
lecanemab (also called BAN2401), given as an intravenous infusion
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that removing amyloid plaques delays or slows the progression of inherited Alzheimer's disease, offering a potential treatment for this rare form.
What could go wrong
This is a small, open-label study with no placebo group, so results may be less reliable. The drug may not fully remove plaques or meaningfully slow the disease, and side effects like brain swelling or bleeding are possible.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Previously participated in the DIAN-TU-001 gantenerumab OLE period. * Willing to participate in ongoing anti-amyloid therapy with informed consent by participant or legally authorized representative. * People of childbearing potential (POCBP), if partner is not sterilized, must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures (e.g., hormonal contraception, intra-uterine device, sexual abstinence, vasectomized partner) from Consent (V1) until five (5) halflives after last dose of any study drug. Refer to the study procedures manual for acceptable methods of contraception. * Co-enrollment in the DIAN Observational Study (DIAN Obs, NCT00869817) and is willing to complete DIAN Obs procedures and assessments. * Able to undergo safety MRI scans as required. * Vascular access adequate for study drug administration and safety monitoring. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Has any significantly increased risks associated with amyloid-related imaging abnormalities characterized by edema/effusion (ARIA-E), ARIA characterized by microhemorrhage (ARIA-H MCH) or superficial siderosis (ARIA-H SS) and vascular factors reviewed by the medical monitoring team. Risks to be reviewed include: 1. History of recurrent ARIA-E (2 or more episodes regardless of location). 2. More than 20 ARIA-H MCH. 3. More than one area of ARIA-H SS. 4. More than 2 lacunar infarcts or stroke involving a major vascular territory. * Requiring full anticoagulation or on high dose or dual antiplatelet therapy (daily aspirin 325 mg or less allowed). * History of macrohemorrhages \>1 cm. * Intolerance for lecanemab. * Pregnancy. * Breastfeeding. * Uncontrolled medical condition that is life threatening or precludes interpretation of AD. * Uncontrolled blood pressure including mean arterial pressure exceeding 97 mm Hg. * Uncontrolled seizure disorder. * Ongoing auto-immune condition, bleeding diathesis, or neutropenia (platelets lower than 50,000) major depression or psychiatric condition. * Exposure to other AD investigational agents within the past six months, or five half-lives from Visit 2 (Entry Visit) whichever is longer. * Active cancer/malignancy that could interfere with study evaluations.
