A Donanemab (LY3002813) Prevention Study in Participants With Alzheimer’s Disease (TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 3)
TITLE:
A Study of Donanemab Versus Placebo in Participants at Risk for Cognitive and Functional Decline of Alzheimer’s Disease
MEDICAL CONDITION: Alzheimer's Disease
AGE: 65-80yrs
SEX/GENDER: All
OVERVIEW
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of donanemab in participants with preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).
STUDY DETAILS
Inclusion Criteria:
-
A Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status – modified (TICS-M) score reflective of intact cognitive functioning.
-

-
Has a reliable study partner and backup study partner familiar with overall function and behavior, such as day-to-day activities and cognitive abilities.
-
Have adequate literacy, vision, and hearing for neuropsychological testing at screening.
-
Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies
-
Female participants include those who are infertile due to surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation), congenital anomaly such as Mullerian agenesis; or post menopausal (women 55 or older not on hormone therapy and had at least 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea; or with a diagnosis of menopause prior to starting hormone replacement therapy.

-
Have a centrally read MRI demonstrating presence of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA-E), >4 cerebral microhemorrhages, more than 1 area of superficial siderosis, any macrohemorrhage or severe white matter disease at screening.
-
Have had prior treatment with a passive anti-amyloid immunotherapy <5 half-lives prior to randomization.
-
