Highlight

  • Valiltramiprosate, a potent inhibitor of amyloid-β oligomer formation, was tested in a 78-week phase III trial in APOEε4/ε4 homozygotes with early Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
  • The overall study population showed significant slowing of hippocampal atrophy but no significant clinical improvement on the primary cognitive endpoint.
  • Prespecified analyses in the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subgroup demonstrated nominally significant slowing in cognitive decline and functional measures alongside imaging benefits.
  • The treatment was generally well tolerated, with mainly gastrointestinal adverse events and no increased risk of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA).
