The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose and multiple doses of ALN-APP administered by intrathecal (IT) injection in adult patients with early-onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD). Maximum treatment duration for Part A: single dose. Maximum treatment duration for Part B: 12 months.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (ALNY) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (27/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
