Frequently asked questions about ABT-384

What is ABT-384 used for?

ABT-384 was developed for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is an investigational small molecule that was studied in a Phase 2 clinical trial in adults aged 55 years and older. It is not an approved therapy.

What does ABT-384 target?

ABT-384 targets HSD11B1, also known as 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1. It acts as an inhibitor of this enzyme. Inhibiting HSD11B1 was the intended mechanism explored in Alzheimer's disease research.

Who makes ABT-384?

ABT-384 is developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie is the company responsible for the clinical development of this investigational Alzheimer's disease candidate.

What phase is ABT-384 in?

ABT-384 reached Phase 2 clinical development. The single Phase 2 trial has been completed, and there are no active trials. ABT-384 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is ABT-384 in?

ABT-384 was studied in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT01137526, titled Efficacy and Safety Study of ABT-384 in Subjects With Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's Disease. It enrolled 267 participants across Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom.

Was the ABT-384 trial randomized and placebo controlled?

Yes. The Phase 2 trial NCT01137526 was randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled. It enrolled 267 participants with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, included both sexes, and required a minimum age of 55 years. Healthy volunteers were not enrolled.
