印第安纳波利斯和凤凰（菲尼克斯（7月15日，2021年） - Eli Lilly and Company（纽约证券交易所：Lly）和Banner Alzheimer’s Institutetoday announced a strategic research collaboration as part of the planned Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluating donanemab in participants at risk for cognitive and functional decline related to Alzheimer’s disease (TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 3). TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 3 will evaluate whether treatment with donanemab can slow the clinical progression of Alzheimer’s disease in trial participants.
As part of the collaboration, Banner will leverage its expertise and proven leadership in Alzheimer’s prevention trials, and support enrollment of trial participants with and without the e4 type of the apolipoprotein E (APOE4) gene through theAlzheimer的预防登记处GeneMatch program. The collaboration will introduce a more virtual approach to the evaluation of Alzheimer’s prevention therapies. Lilly and Banner are committed to using the screening and treatment data as a shared scientific resource. Lilly remains the sole sponsor of the clinical trial and plans to begin enrollment later this year.
“This collaboration combines Lilly’s more than 30 years of dedication to Alzheimer’s research with Banner’s unique expertise and showcases our collective commitment to partner within the health care community to find potential treatments to end this devastating disease,” said Mark Mintun, M.D., vice president of pain and neurodegeneration, Lilly. “Our TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 3 trial will evaluate whether donanemab can prevent clinical progression in patients who have evidence of Alzheimer’s pathology, but don’t yet demonstrate clinical symptoms. While these types of trials are challenging to enroll and conduct, Lilly, together with Banner, is proud to undertake the opportunity to bring about this new study in an area of high unmet medical need.”
“We are excited about the chance to work with Lilly in the effort to find an effective Alzheimer’s prevention therapy as soon as possible, introduce novel ways to increase the size, speed, and ease of participating in Alzheimer’s prevention trials, and do so in ways that might benefit the entire field,” saidEric M. Reiman, M.D。, Banner Alzheimer’s Institute executive director and one of the study’s lead principal investigators. “We must do everything we can to find and support the availability of effective prevention therapies for this devastating disease, and this trial includes several potentially transformational elements to help in this endeavor.”
Donanemab is an investigational antibody that targets a modified form of beta amyloid called N3pG. Results from a Phase 2 study of donanemab wereannouncedearlier this year.

Donanemab is also being studied in the ongoing Phase 3 TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 study in early, symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease patients.

About Alzheimer’s Disease
阿尔茨海默病是一种致命的疾病，导致记忆力下降和认知的其他方面。由于阿尔茨海默病的痴呆症是最常见的痴呆形式，占所有病例的60％至80％。目前有超过5000万人患有世界痴呆症的人，预计将增加20502岁的人数增加到近15200万岁。全世界每年诊断近1000万个新的痴呆病例，暗示每3秒一次新的案例，并提出一个新的案例增加了社会和家庭的护理负担。仅在美国，2015年到20203年增加了800万新护理人员。目前的年度社会和经济成本估计为1万亿美元，预计除非我们找到缓慢的方法，否则预计疾病2。
In an addition to age and family history of AD, the greatest risk factor for developing AD is the presence of the apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE4) allele.1 Having one APOE4 allele increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by approximately three times compared with those with two copies of the APOE3 form. Those who inherit two copies of the APOE4 allele have an 8 - 12-fold risk. In addition, those with the APOE4 allele are more likely to have beta-amyloid accumulation and Alzheimer’s dementia at a younger age than those with the APOE2 or APOE3 forms of the APOE gene.

关于Alzheimer的预防倡议
The Alzheimer’s Prevention Initiative (API) is an international collaborative formed to launch a new era of Alzheimer’s prevention research. Led by the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, the API conducts prevention trials in cognitively healthy people at increased genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease. It will continue to establish the brain imaging, biological and cognitive measurements needed to rapidly test promising prevention therapies and provide registries to support enrollment into Alzheimer’s-focused studies. API is intended to provide the scientific means, accelerated approval pathway and enrollment resources needed to evaluate the range of promising Alzheimer’s prevention therapies and find ones that work without losing another generation.
