Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to approximately 160 weeks

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study.

Stage A: Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) for Multiple Ascending Dose of ABBV-916
Up to approximately 24 weeks

Cmax of ABBV-916 will be determined.

Stage A: Time to Cmax (Tmax) for Multiple Ascending Dose of ABBV-916
Up to approximately 24 weeks

Tmax of ABBV-916 will be determined.

Stage A: Apparent Terminal Phase Elimination Rate Constant (β) of ABBV-916
Up to approximately 24 weeks

Apparent terminal phase elimination rate constant (β) of ABBV-916 will be determined.

Stage A: Terminal Phase Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) of ABBV-916
Up to approximately 24 weeks

T1/2 of ABBV-916 will be determined.

Stage A: Trough Serum Concentration (Ctrough) of ABBV-916 at the End of a Dosing Interval
Up to approximately 24 weeks

Ctrough of ABBV-916 will be determined.

Stage A: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of ABBV-916
Up to approximately 24 weeks

AUC of ABBV-916 will be determined.

Stage A: Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Concentration as a Measure of ABBV-916 Crossing the Blood Brain Barrier
Up to approximately 24 weeks

The central value for ratio of ABBV-916 concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to that in serum will be estimated for evaluation of the fraction of ABBV-916 crossing the blood brain barrier.

Stage A: Percentage of Participants With Antidrug Antibodies (ADA) as a Measure of Immunogenicity Following Multiple Ascending Dose of ABBV-916
Up to approximately 24 weeks

Antidrug antibody (ADA) classification and titers for positive ADA samples will be determined.

Stage B: Change in Brain Amyloid Plaque Deposition (Amyloid Centiloid Value)
Baseline (Week 0) through Week 24

Change from baseline in brain amyloid plaque deposition (amyloid centiloid value) is measured by amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan.

Frequently asked questions about ABBV-916

What is ABBV-916?

ABBV-916 is an investigational small molecule being developed by AbbVie Inc. for Alzheimer's disease. It is a Phase 2 candidate studied in adults aged 50 to 90 with early Alzheimer's disease. It is not yet approved for any use and remains in clinical development.

What is ABBV-916 used for in Alzheimer's disease?

ABBV-916 is being studied for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease in adults aged 50 to 90. The Phase 2 study enrolled participants with early Alzheimer's disease and assessed brain amyloid plaque clearance. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved for treating Alzheimer's disease.

Who makes ABBV-916?

ABBV-916 is developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie is the sponsor of the Phase 2 clinical program evaluating the small molecule in early Alzheimer's disease.

What phase is ABBV-916 in?

ABBV-916 is in Phase 2 development. One Phase 2 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval for Alzheimer's disease or any other indication.

What clinical trials is ABBV-916 in?

ABBV-916 has been evaluated in one Phase 2 trial, NCT05291234, titled a study to assess safety of ABBV-916 and how intravenous ABBV-916 moves through the body and affects brain amyloid plaque clearance in adults aged 50 to 90 with early Alzheimer's disease. The trial was completed and enrolled 106 participants in the United States.

How was the ABBV-916 Phase 2 trial designed?

The Phase 2 trial NCT05291234 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of intravenous ABBV-916 in 106 adults aged 50 to 90 with early Alzheimer's disease. It enrolled biomarker-selected participants, did not include healthy volunteers, and was conducted in the United States. The trial has been completed.
