Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline of the Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite (PACC) Score
Baseline, Week approximately 240

PACC has 4 components: Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (0 (worst)-96 (best recall); Delayed Paragraph Recall test (Range 0 (worst)-25 (best recall); Wechsler Adult Intelligence scale: Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST): (ranges 0 \[none\]-91 \[best performance\]) and Mini Mental State Examination (Range 0 \[worst\] - 30 \[best performance\]). Component scores are transformed using an established normalization method into z-scores. Each of 4 component change scores is divided by baseline sample standard deviation (SD) of that component. These z scores are summed to form the composite score. Thus, a change of 1 baseline standard deviation on each component would correspond to a 4-point change on the composite. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and implies how many SD higher or lower score as compared with baseline score, with increase signifying improvement.

Baseline through Week 260

Multivariate Disease Progression Model adjusted for Estimated Years to Onset (EYO)and includes all timepoints up to treatment discontinuation. The treatment effect is reported relative to the mutation positive placebo arm. Multivariate Cognitive Endpoint comprising: (i) Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised Logical Memory Delayed Recall Test (MEMUNITS), (ii) Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Digit Symbol Substitution Test (WAIS), (iii) Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and (iv) International Shopping List Task (ISLT). Measurements for each test were normalized using the mean (SD) at DIAN-TU-001 baseline for mutation negative subjects. Higher scores indicate more favourable cognitive performance.

Frequently asked questions about Solanezumab

What is Solanezumab used for?

Solanezumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied for Alzheimer's disease and cognition disorders. It has been tested in patients with Alzheimer's disease, including dominantly inherited early onset forms caused by genetic mutations, as well as in older individuals at risk for memory loss. It is not an approved treatment.

What does Solanezumab target?

Solanezumab targets amyloid precursor protein, or APP. It is a monoclonal antibody designed to bind this target, which is central to the amyloid pathway implicated in Alzheimer's disease. This binding agent mechanism underlies its investigation as a potential disease modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

Who is developing Solanezumab?

Solanezumab is developed by Eli Lilly and Company, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LLY. Lilly has sponsored the clinical trial program evaluating the antibody across Alzheimer's disease and cognition disorder populations.

What phase is Solanezumab in?

Solanezumab is in Phase 2 development. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody and is not FDA approved. Its clinical program includes Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, with the most recent Phase 2 trial in dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease completed.

What clinical trials is Solanezumab in?

Solanezumab has been evaluated in trials including NCT04623242 and NCT01760005, both Phase 2 studies in dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease, NCT02008357, a Phase 3 trial in older individuals at risk for memory loss, and NCT01148498, a Phase 2 biomarker study in patients with and without Alzheimer's disease.

How many patients have been enrolled in Solanezumab trials?

Across its clinical program, Solanezumab trials have enrolled a total of 1,169 patients. The studies were randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled. The largest trial, NCT02008357, enrolled 1,169 participants, while the Phase 2 DIAN-TU studies enrolled 194 and 490 participants respectively.
