Frequently asked questions about Aducanumab

What is Aducanumab used for?

Aducanumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied for Alzheimer's Disease. It is also used in clinical trials involving healthy volunteers to assess its pharmacokinetics and bioavailability. The drug is developed by Biogen Inc. and has received FDA accelerated approval designation.

Who makes Aducanumab?

Aducanumab is developed by Biogen Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker BIIB. The drug is being studied in clinical trials for Alzheimer's Disease and in healthy volunteer studies.

What phase is Aducanumab in?

Aducanumab is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed two Phase 1 trials with a total enrollment of 123 participants. The drug has received FDA accelerated approval designation, but it remains investigational and is not yet approved for commercial use.

What clinical trials is Aducanumab in?

Aducanumab has completed several Phase 1 trials, including NCT02434718 in Japanese participants with Alzheimer's Disease, NCT02782975 and NCT04924140 assessing bioavailability in healthy participants, and NCT05216887 comparing subcutaneous and intravenous dosing in healthy volunteers.

How does Aducanumab work?

Aducanumab is a monoclonal antibody designed to target amyloid beta, a protein implicated in Alzheimer's Disease pathology. By binding to amyloid beta, it aims to reduce the accumulation of plaques in the brain, which is a hallmark of the disease.
