Frequently asked questions about ABT-126

What is ABT-126?

ABT-126 is an investigational small molecule developed by Abbott Laboratories for neurological conditions. It has been studied in Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. It is a Phase 1 clinical candidate and has not been approved by the FDA. All three of its listed Phase 1 trials are completed, with no active trials currently listed.

What is ABT-126 used for in Alzheimer's disease?

ABT-126 has been studied in Alzheimer's disease as an investigational treatment. Two completed Phase 1 trials enrolled participants with Alzheimer's disease: NCT01482845, which assessed safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in 20 subjects, and NCT00867399, a safety and tolerability study in 30 elderly participants. It is not an approved therapy for Alzheimer's disease.

What does ABT-126 target?

ABT-126 targets CHRNA7, the alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, and acts as an agonist at this target. CHRNA7 is a ligand-gated ion channel involved in cholinergic signaling in the nervous system. This receptor target is of interest in neurological and psychiatric conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.

Who makes ABT-126?

ABT-126 is developed by Abbott Laboratories, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABT. Abbott is the sponsor of the clinical program studying ABT-126 in Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. The compound is an investigational small molecule and is not currently an approved product.

What phase is ABT-126 in?

ABT-126 is in Phase 1 clinical development. Three Phase 1 trials are listed, all completed, with no active trials reported. The studies enrolled a total of 66 participants across Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia indications. ABT-126 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is ABT-126 in?

Three completed Phase 1 trials of ABT-126 are registered: NCT01482845 in Alzheimer's disease, NCT01043458 in stable schizophrenia, and NCT00867399 in elderly participants. All were conducted in the United States. The trials were randomized, double-blind and controlled, with total enrollment of 66 participants across the program.
