Baseline Characteristics from a Phase III Trial of Crenezumab in Early (Prodromal-to-Mild) Alzheimer’s Disease (CREAD) (P4.1-002)
2019
Objective: To describe the study design/methodology and baseline characteristics from the Phase III CREAD study (NCT02670083) in prodromal-to-mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Background: Crenezumab is a humanized anti-amyloid β (Aβ) monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 antibody in development for AD. Although Phase II co-primary endpoints were not met, exploratory analyses suggested crenezumab should be tested for efficacy at a higher dose and earlier disease stage. Data from a Phase Ib study that investigated the safety/tolerability of higher doses of crenezumab supported testing a four-fold higher dose than used in Phase II. Two global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III studies (CREAD; CREAD2, NCT03114657]) are testing the efficacy and safety of crenezumab (60 mg/kg) in prodromal-to-mild AD. Design/Methods: Patients aged 50–85 years with prodromal-to-mild AD and evidence of cerebral amyloid pathology (cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] or amyloid by positron emission tomography [PET]) were enrolled. At screening, eligible patients had a Mini-Mental State Examination score of ≥ 22, a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) global score of 0.5 or 1, and a Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test immediate free recall ≤ 27. Patients were randomized 1:1 to placebo or crenezumab (60 mg/kg intravenously every 4 weeks). Primary and secondary endpoints include change from baseline in CDR-Sum of Boxes, 13-item AD Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale and AD Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living scores over 105 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging is used to monitor safety and measure volumetric changes. Results: The CREAD study has completed recruitment, with 813 patients enrolled. Baseline data will be presented. Conclusions: Building on learnings from the Phase II study, CREAD and CREAD2 Phase III trials are investigating the efficacy of a four-fold higher dose of crenezumab (versus Phase II) in prodromal-to-mild AD and testing whether clinically meaningful efficacy can be achieved without the associated safety findings described with other passive anti-amyloid immunotherapies.
