Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. Please consult with the study team for guidance.

How is the drug Remternetug unique for treating Alzheimer's disease?

Remternetug is unique because it is administered both intravenously (IV) and subcutaneously (SC), offering flexibility in how the drug is given to patients. This dual administration route is not commonly seen in other Alzheimer's treatments, which typically focus on oral medications.12345

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests remternetug, a drug given by injection or IV, in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It aims to find out if the drug is safe and can help improve symptoms or slow down the disease.

Findings from Research

In a study of 202 Alzheimer's disease patients who previously did not respond to donepezil or galantamine, switching to rivastigmine resulted in a 46.3% response rate after 16 weeks, indicating it can be an effective alternative treatment.
For those who did not respond to rivastigmine alone, adding memantine led to a significant 77.9% response rate, suggesting that combination therapy is both effective and safe for improving cognitive and behavioral symptoms.
Rivastigmine monotherapy and combination therapy with memantine in patients with moderately severe Alzheimer's disease who failed to benefit from previous cholinesterase inhibitor treatment.Dantoine, T., Auriacombe, S., Sarazin, M., et al.[2015]
The combination of ranimustine (MCNU) and recombinant human mutant TNF-alpha (TNF-SAM2) was found to be safe and well-tolerated in 26 patients with newly diagnosed malignant astrocytomas, with no severe or life-threatening toxicities reported.
While the treatment showed promising results in patients with anaplastic astrocytoma, leading to a median survival time of 330 weeks, it did not demonstrate improved efficacy in glioblastoma patients compared to historical controls receiving MCNU alone.

A phase I dose-escalation study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and maximum tolerated dose of carboplatin delivered directly into the brain using convection-enhanced delivery (CED) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), involving 18 patients divided into 6 cohorts.
Carboplatin is chosen for this method because glioblastoma cells are sensitive to it at non-toxic levels for normal brain tissue, potentially improving treatment efficacy while minimizing side effects.
