Study 201 is a placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, randomized study in 856 patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease or mild Alzheimer's dementia with confirmed amyloid pathology in the brain at the start of the study.
Efficacy was evaluated at 18 months and demonstrated a statistically significant slowing of disease progression on the Alzheimer's disease composite score (ADCOMS) after 18 months of treatment in patients receiving the highest treatment dose of 10 mg/kg twice a month and reduction of amyloid accumulated in the brain as measured by using amyloid positron emission tomography (PET).
Dose-dependent changes from baseline were observed across the PET results and the clinical endpoints.
Further, the highest treatment dose of BAN2401 began to show statistically significant clinical benefit as measured by ADCOMS as early as six months including at 12 months.
