A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of ALN-APP in Patients With EOAD

May 4, 2026 updated by: Alnylam Pharmaceuticals

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Single Ascending Dose and Open-label Multi-dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Intrathecally Administered ALN-APP in Adult Patients With Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD)

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.
