A stage of “preclinical Alzheimer’s disease” has recently been defined based on biomarker evidence of amyloid-β pathology before the stage of clinical symptoms. Clinically “normal” older individuals with elevated Aβ pathology (by PET scan) are at increased risk for cognitive decline and progression to Alzheimer’s dementia. BAN2401 is a humanized mo...
CT1812 is a sigma-2 receptor modulator that is thought to displace and reduce binding of toxic beta-amyloid oligomers to neuronal synapses, with the potential to provide clinical benefit in Alzheimer’s disease. This is a Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CT1812 in particip...
Aducanumab is a human monoclonal antibody that is directed against the amyloid-β protein. Aducanumab was approved by the US FDA as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease under the accelerated approval pathway based on aducanumab’s reduction in brain amyloid coupled with evidence that reduction in brain amyloid is reasonably likely to predict clinical ...
Apathy is among the most prevalent and disabling neuropsychiatric symptoms in individuals with dementia. CVL-871 is a dopamine D1/D5 receptor partial agonist that may normalize impaired dopamine signaling in brain regions that control reward and motivation and thus be useful for the treatment of apathy. This is a Phase 2a, double-blind, placebo-con...
