According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial (NCT02791191) enrolled 316 people with mild Alzheimer's disease across three groups: 55 received a 3 mg dose of a study drug called LY3202626, 128 received a 12 mg dose, and 133 received a placebo (a dummy treatment with no active ingredient). The trial ran for 52 weeks and was primarily measuring changes in brain scans using a special imaging technique called a PET scan, which was looking at a protein called tau — a substance that builds up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. It is worth noting that relatively few participants completed the full study: 17 in the 3 mg group, 17 in the 12 mg group, and 13 in the placebo group. The reported data shows that on the primary measure — the change in tau PET scan readings after 52 weeks — all three groups showed a very small increase from their starting point. The 3 mg group had a reported change of +0.02 units, the 12 mg group +0.03 units, and the placebo group +0.01 units, all on a standardised imaging scale. For secondary measures, the reported data shows changes in a blood-based marker related to amyloid (another protein linked to Alzheimer's disease): the 3 mg group had a change of approximately −258.7 ng/L, the 12 mg group −286.1 ng/L, and the placebo group −12.0 ng/L for one form of amyloid measured (Aβ1-40), with similar patterns seen for other amyloid forms measured. Regarding brain scan abnormalities (ARIA), small percentages of participants across all groups had these findings recorded, ranging from 0% to around 7.5% depending on the type and group. Suicidal thoughts (as measured by a standard questionnaire) were reported as treatment-emergent in approximately 7.3% of the 3 mg group, 7.1% of the 12 mg group, and 3.8% of the placebo group, though the data does not allow any conclusions about cause.

Who may and may not be able to join

Who may be able to join

  • A qualified doctor has diagnosed you with mild Alzheimer's disease dementia based on recognised medical guidelines.
  • You scored between 20 and 26 (inclusive) on a standard memory and thinking test called the Mini-Mental State Examination at your screening appointment.
  • A special brain scan (called a florbetapir PET scan) showed signs of a protein buildup in the brain linked to Alzheimer's disease.

Who may not be able to join

Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.

  • You have a significant brain or nervous system condition other than Alzheimer's, such as another type of dementia, a serious brain infection, Parkinson's disease, multiple concussions, or epilepsy or repeated seizures (childhood febrile seizures may be an exception — confirm with trial site).
  • You have an eye condition that would make it difficult to reliably test your vision or examine the back of your eye.
  • You are currently taking certain strong medications that affect how the body breaks down drugs through a liver enzyme called CYP3A (confirm with trial site which medications apply).
  • You have a known sensitivity or allergic reaction to florbetapir or a related substance called ¹⁸F-AV-1451, which are used in the brain scans.
  • You are unable to have an MRI or PET scan, or you have very difficult-to-access veins for blood tests.

Expanded access pathways

This trial is not enrolling. Other access pathways exist in general: in Australia, the TGA Special Access Scheme allows access to unapproved therapeutic goods for individual patients. Whether it applies to any treatment studied here is a question for your doctor — nothing on this page says it does.
