About this study

Official title: Interventional, Open-label, Multiple-immunisation Study of the Immunogenicity, Pharmacodynamics and Safety of Lu AF20513 in Patients With Mild Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Alzheimer's Disease

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of monthly dosing with a single dose of Lu AF20513, with and without booster vaccine, on antibody response.

Read the detailed description

Cohort 1 encompasses 8 patients enrolled prior to the Protocol Amendment (PA) 1, dose regimen 1.

Cohort 2 includes patients enrolled under the PA and will consist of 20 patients, randomly assigned to two arms:

  • dose regimen 2: 10 patients who will receive one administration of booster vaccine 4 weeks prior to the first IMP administration
  • dose regimen 3: 10 patients who will not receive a booster vaccine

After the PA1, the study consists of the following periods:

  • Screening Period - up to 12 weeks
  • Priming period: 28 weeks, monthly dosing with Lu AF20513
  • Maintenance Period - 56 weeks, quarterly dosing with Lu AF20513
  • Follow-up Period - 4 weeks
Being tested
Lu AF20513, booster vaccine

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. AUC

    Area under antibody titre curve (AUC) induced upon treatment with Lu AF20513

    Measured: From Week 0 to Week 28

  2. Cmax

    maximum antibody titre (Cmax) induced upon treatment with Lu AF20513

    Measured: From Week 0 to Week 28

  3. Titre response

    Any patients with antibody titre above the patient's baseline titre in either of the applied assays for antibody assessment

    Measured: From Week 0 to Week 28

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Amyloid load

    Change in composite cortical standard uptake volume ratio based on PET scans (amyloid PET-SUVR)

    Measured: From baseline to week 84

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lu AF20513 and booster vaccine in people with Alzheimer Disease, run by H. Lundbeck A/S at 3 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Finland, Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: New data: The study was terminated based on new efficacy data from another study). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

AUC (time frame: From Week 0 to Week 28). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Feb 2020.
