Study summary

The Alzheimer's Tau Platform (ATP) is a multi-center platform trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tau-directed therapies, alone or in combination with donanemab, in adults aged 50-80 with late preclinical or early prodromal Alzheimer's disease.

Regimen A will evaluate the safety and efficacy of AADvac1, alone or in combination with donanemab.

Read the detailed description

The Alzheimer's Tau Platform (ATP) is a multi-center platform trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tau-directed therapies, alone or in combination with donanemab, in adults aged 50-80 with late preclinical or early prodromal Alzheimer's disease. This platform trial allows for the simultaneous testing of multiple tau therapies under a shared master protocol. This means that multiple investigational products will be tested simultaneously or sequentially. Each investigational product will be tested in a regimen. The ATP Master Protocol is registered as NCT06957418.

Once a participant enrolls into the Master Protocol and meets all eligibility criteria, the participant will be eligible to be randomized into a currently enrolling regimen. All participants will have an equal chance of being randomized to any currently enrolling regimen.

Participants randomized to Regimen A - AADvac1 will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to either AADvac1 alone, combination AADvac1 therapy with donanemab, or donanemab alone (active control). The allocation ratio may be change based on the number of concurrent active regimens to ensure appropriate number of individuals randomized to the control arm across all active regimes.

Regimen A will enroll by invitation, as participants may not choose to enroll in a given regimen. Participants must first enroll into the Master Protocol and be eligible to participate in the Master Protocol before being able to be randomly assigned to Regimen A.

For a list of enrolling sites, please see the ATP Master Protocol under NCT06957418.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Reduction of brain tau deposition as measured by tau positron emission tomography (PET)

    To determine whether at least one tau therapy, either alone or in combination with donanemab, will produce a greater reduction in brain tau deposition as measured by 18F-MK-6240 PET compared to donanemab alone.

    Time frame: 0, 6, 18 and 30 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease progression as measured by plasma biomarkers

    To assess whether at least one tau therapy, either alone or in combination with donanemab, slows disease progression as measured by plasma biomarkers.

    Time frame: 30 months

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Aug 2028, 21 months later.

Of 127 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Alzheimer Disease, half reached primary completion within 54 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 37 and three quarters within 69. This study's planned 21 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 257 studies reached it within 37 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 58.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
