Phase 2 Study of AV-1959R in Individuals With Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease
This trial tests AV-1959R, an anti-amyloid vaccine, in people who show no memory symptoms but have early amyloid-related biomarkers in their blood. It measures safety, immune response, and whether it lowers brain amyloid, over 78 weeks. It's a Phase 2 trial — checking safety and biological effect, not yet proven to prevent Alzheimer's symptoms.

Participation in another investigational drug study or use of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before dosing. Prior amyloid-beta or tau immunotherapy, including vaccine or monoclonal antibody, within 1 year before screening. Recent use of protocol-defined immunomodulatory or growth-stimulating agents. Chronic use of protocol-defined anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents; aspirin is permitted. Parenteral use of immunoglobulin preparations, blood products, or plasma derivatives.
