Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change from Baseline in Integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (iADRS) Score
Baseline up to Week 80

iADRS is a validated composite of cognition and function made up of Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale 13-item (ADAS-Cog13) and the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale (ADCS-iADL). ADAS-Cog13 is a rater-administered instrument consisting of 13 items assessing cognitive function areas most typically impaired in AD. ADAS-Cog13 scores range from 0 to 85, with higher scores indicating a greater deficit of global cognition. The ADCS-iADL is a subset of the 23-item ADCS-ADL (items 6a and 7 to 23). The iADLs are more complex skills required to successfully live independently. iADL-items score ranges from 0 to 59 (lower scores indicating greater impairment). The iADRS is calculated as a linear combination of total scores from the ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-iADL. The iADRS score ranges from 0 to 144 with lower scores indicating worse performance.

Frequently asked questions about sabirnetug

What is sabirnetug used for?

Sabirnetug is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer disease. It is an investigational therapy in Phase 2 clinical development, studied in participants with early Alzheimer's disease. It has not been approved for any indication.

What does sabirnetug target?

Sabirnetug targets amyloid beta oligomers, known as AβOs. These soluble oligomers are considered a toxic form of amyloid beta in Alzheimer disease. By binding AβOs, sabirnetug is designed to address this specific aggregated species rather than amyloid plaques.

Who is developing sabirnetug?

Sabirnetug is being developed by Acumen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades under the ticker ABOS. The company is advancing the asset in Alzheimer disease through Phase 2 clinical testing.

What phase is sabirnetug in?

Sabirnetug is in Phase 2 clinical development. Its lead trial, ALTITUDE-AD, is a Phase 2 study in early Alzheimer's disease that is active and not currently recruiting. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval.

What clinical trials is sabirnetug in?

Sabirnetug has been studied in two trials. NCT06335173, known as ALTITUDE-AD, is a Phase 2 efficacy and safety study in early Alzheimer's disease with 542 participants. NCT06511570 was a completed Phase 1 study comparing intravenous and subcutaneous formulations in 28 healthy participants.

Is sabirnetug the same as ACU193?

Yes, sabirnetug is also known as ACU193. ACU193 was the earlier designation for the same compound, and sabirnetug is the current name used by Acumen Pharmaceuticals. Both names refer to the same anti-AβO antibody in development for Alzheimer disease.
