DIAN-TU Trial Summary

This trial is testing if an investigational product can improve Alzheimer's disease-related biomarkers and slow the rate of progression of cognitive or clinical impairment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 18-80 who have a genetic mutation causing early onset Alzheimer's, are within -10 to +10 years of their predicted age of symptom onset, and can perform required tests (MRI, LP, PET). They must be cognitively normal or mildly impaired and have a reliable study partner. Women must use contraception if applicable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Lecanemab and E2814 against a placebo to see if they improve Alzheimer's biomarkers and slow cognitive decline. Participants will receive either the investigational drugs or placebo to assess safety, tolerability, and effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site, headache, fatigue, allergic responses or infusion-related reactions. Side effects vary by individual; some may experience none while others could have more severe reactions.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
The primary end point is the change from Week 24 to Week 104 and Week 208 in tau PET in the Symptomatic Population (Cohort 1).
Secondary outcome measures
Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2): Change from Week 0 to Week 52 in CSF ptau217/total tau
Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2): Change from Week 52 to Week 104 and Week 208 in CSF neurofilament light chain (NfL)
Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2): Key Secondary: Change from Week 0 to Week 104 and Week 208 in CSF ptau217/total tau

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: E2814 plus lecanemabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Symptomatic Population (Cohort 1) At Week 0, participants will receive open-label lecanemab administered intravenously for the full treatment period. At Week 24, participants randomized to E2814 will receive intravenously in a blinded fashion for the remainder of their treatment period. Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2) At Week 0, participants randomized to E2814 will receive intravenously in a blinded fashion for the full treatment period. At Week 52, all participants will initiate open-label lecanemab administered intravenously for the remainder of their treatment period.
Group II: Matching placebo (E2814) plus lecanemabPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Symptomatic Population (Cohort 1) At Week 0, participants will receive open-label lecanemab administered intravenously for the full treatment period. At Week 24, participants randomized to E2814 placebo will receive placebo intravenously in a blinded fashion for the remainder of their treatment period. Asymptomatic Population (Cohort 2) At Week 0, participants randomized to E2814 placebo will receive placebo intravenously in a blinded fashion for the full treatment period. At Week 52, all participants will initiate open-label lecanemab administered intravenously for the remainder of their treatment period.
