Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline on the Integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (iADRS)
Baseline, Week 104

Integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (iADRS) is a simple linear combination of scores from 13-item alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog13) and the Alzheimer's disease cooperative study-instrumental activities of daily living scale (ADCS-iADL). It is used to assess whether zagotenemab slows down the cognitive and functional decline associated with early symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease, compared to placebo. The iADRS score ranges from 0 to 144 with lower scores indicating worse performance and higher score better performance. Change from baseline was calculated using Bayesian disease progression model (DPM) with fixed, categorical effects of treatment, pooled site, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) use at baseline (yes/no), and the continuous effects of baseline score and age at baseline. Data presented are posterior mean with 95% credible interval.

Number of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Event(s) (SAEs) Considered by the Investigator to be Related to Study Drug Administration
Baseline up to Week 65

A summary of other non-serious adverse events (AEs), and all SAE's, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.

Number of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Event(s) (SAEs) to be Related to Study Drug Administration
Baseline up to 146 days

Number of participants with one or more SAEs considered by the investigator to be related to study drug administration. A summary of other nonserious adverse events (AEs), and all SAE's, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.

Frequently asked questions about Zagotenemab

What is zagotenemab used for?

Zagotenemab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied for the treatment of Alzheimer disease. It was evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer disease. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does zagotenemab target?

Zagotenemab targets MAPT, the microtubule-associated protein tau. It is designed as an inhibitor of this target. Tau pathology is a hallmark of Alzheimer disease, and zagotenemab was developed to bind and neutralize tau species in the brain.

Who is developing zagotenemab?

Zagotenemab is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LLY. The company sponsored the Phase 2 clinical trial of the drug in Alzheimer disease.

What phase is zagotenemab in?

Zagotenemab is in Phase 2 development. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 2 trial has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed.

What clinical trials is zagotenemab in?

Zagotenemab was studied in the Phase 2 trial NCT03518073, titled A Study of LY3303560 in Participants With Early Symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease. The trial enrolled 360 participants, was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, and was conducted in the United States, Canada, and Japan.
