Alzheimer's drug extension trial halted early — what we know
NCT ID NCT05522387
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study gave Alzheimer's patients who had already completed earlier XPro1595 trials an extra 55 to 74 weeks of the drug to check long-term safety and effects on memory and brain health. Only 11 people took part, and the trial was terminated early, so the findings are limited. The drug targets brain inflammation, but whether it helps slow Alzheimer's remains uncertain.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- XPro1595 (a weekly injection that targets brain inflammation)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a treatment that slows cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease.
- What could go wrong
- The study was terminated early with only 11 participants, so results are very limited. It is unclear if XPro1595 provides meaningful benefit, and side effects remain a risk.

Inclusion Criteria: Patients are eligible to be included in the study only if all the following criteria apply: 1. Participated and completed the full duration of the study intervention and all procedures at the End of Study (EOS) visit in a previous XPro1595 study. 2. Concomitant medications for the management of MCI/AD and/or behavior symptoms which were ongoing during the double-blind study should remain at a constant dose throughout this study. 3. Patient must be willing and able to provide informed consent prior to any study procedures being performed. If the patient is not competent, a LAR (Legally Authorized Representative) must provide informed consent on their behalf, and the patient must provide assent. 4. Has a study partner willing to participate for the duration of the trial who either lives in the same household or interacts with the patient at least 4 hours per day and on at least 4 days per week, who is knowledgeable about the patient's daytime and night-time behaviors and who can be available to attend all clinic visits in person at which informant assessments are performed. This study partner should agree to monitor and report on concomitant medications, understand the study requirements, and assist the participant in meeting study requirements. Patients with study partners that do not meet this criterion but are determined by the investigator as able to provide an adequate assessment of the patient may also participate with prior approval from the sponsor (However, this is not a requirement for patients coming from the AD-02 PK Lead-In Study). 5. All male subjects who are sexually active with a female of childbearing potential (FCBP) must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the treatment period and until 90 days after the last dose of treatment. 6. All females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative urine pregnancy test and agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the treatment period and 30 days after the last dose of treatment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any clinically significant abnormalities that in the opinion of the Investigator require further investigation or treatment or may interfere with study procedures and assessments or affect patient safety. These include but are not limited to, laboratory tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), physical examination, or vital signs at Screening or other medical conditions (e.g., cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, psychiatric, renal disease) which are not adequately and stably controlled. 2. Unable to comply with the study procedures and assessments.
