Study Summary

This trial will assess the safety and effectiveness of ABBV-916 in treating early Alzheimer's disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 50-90 with early Alzheimer's Disease, who score between 20 to 28 on the MMSE and have amyloid pathology confirmed by PET scans or blood tests. They must be at Stage 3 or Stage 4 of AD as per NIA-AA criteria and have a study partner available for at least 10 hours weekly. Excluded are those with significant brain MRI findings, more than three microhemorrhages, any macrohemorrhages, severe white matter disease, or on anticoagulant therapy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The safety and effectiveness of ABBV-916 in treating early Alzheimer's are being tested against a placebo. Participants will receive IV doses every four weeks for six months followed by an extension period where all get ABBV-916. The first part is double-blind; neither doctors nor participants know who gets what until later stages.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to IV treatment, changes in brain function due to medication interactions with amyloid plaques, and general adverse events typically monitored through medical assessments including MRIs and blood tests.
