cAPPricorn-1 - A study to assess the safety and tolerability of ALN-APP in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)
Résumé de l'étude
Currently, there are no medications for the treatment of CAA. Physicians are focusing on improving diagnosis, as well as treating and controlling symptoms. In this study, cAPPricorn-1, researchers will test a new investigational drug called ALN-APP. Initial results have shown that it can lower APP levels, which may help prevent the formation of amyloid-beta. This study will investigate the effect of ALN-APP in participants who suffer from either Dutch-type CAA (D-CAA) or sporadic CAA (sCAA).

Intervention étudiée
The study will be conducted in two parts: the first part is the so-called double-blind phase, which will last 24 months, and the second part is an optional open-label extension phase that will last 18 months. In a double-blind study, neither the participant nor the study physician knows whether the participant is receiving ALN-APP or a placebo that looks like the investigational drug but contains no medication. In the open part of this study, all participants will receive ALN-APP, and they and their doctors will know that they are receiving it.
Patients who meet all study requirements may participate in the study. When a participant enrolls in the study, they will participate in the double-blind phase for up to 24 months, during which they will receive either ALN-APP or placebo. Participants who choose to take part in the open-label extension phase will continue to be treated with ALN-APP for up to 18 months, followed by 12 months of safety monitoring after the last dose. Participants may take part in the study for up to 50 months.
Participants who do not take part in the open-label extension phase will be monitored for safety for 12 months after their last dose in the double-blind phase.
During the study, participants will undergo laboratory tests, imaging studies (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)), physical examinations, and cognitive function tests. Researchers will also collect information on adverse events that a participant may experience during the study.
Participants will receive either ALN-APP or placebo via injection in the lower back every 6 months until month 18 in the double-blind phase and every 6 months from month 24 to month 36 in the optional open-label extension phase in the cerebrospinal fluid.

Maladie en cours d'investigation
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a condition that affects the blood vessels in the brain. A protein called amyloid beta accumulates in the walls of the blood vessels and causes damage over time. This can lead to bleeding in the brain, including strokes. Symptoms of CAA may include memory loss and problems with thinking. CAA can also cause sudden episodes of numbness, weakness, and other temporary symptoms. Amyloid beta is the product of a larger protein, the amyloid precursor protein (APP). The cause of amyloid-beta accumulation can vary. In people with Dutch-type CAA, it is caused by a mutation in the APP gene that is passed down within families. In most cases, CAA is sporadic (not inherited) and occurs in older individuals.
