Donanemab (LY3002813) Trial in Chinese Participants With Cognitively Unimpaired (Preclinical) Alzheimer's Disease

This trial tests whether donanemab, an anti-amyloid drug given by IV infusion, slows memory and thinking decline compared with placebo. It enrolls Chinese adults with normal thinking whose blood tests suggest early Alzheimer's brain changes. It runs about three years. It is a Phase 3 trial: a large test of whether it works and is safe, not yet proven or approved for this use.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* Have a serious or unstable illness (including cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, respiratory, endocrinologic, neurologic, psychiatric, immunologic, or hematologic disease, or other condition) that, in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with study analyses or result in a life expectancy of 5 years or fewer
* Have received active or passive immunization against amyloid beta (Aβ) in any other study
* Have current or prior use of prescription medications for treatment of MCI or AD
* Have any contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including claustrophobia or the presence of contraindicated metal (ferromagnetic) implants or other accessory medical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers, stents, and cochlear implants
* Have a centrally read magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrating the presence of Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA-E), more than 4 cerebral microhemorrhages, more than 1 area of cortical superficial siderosis, any macrohemorrhage (that is, intracerebral hemorrhage more than 1 cm), or severe white matter disease at screening
