Overview

Donanemab (LY3002813) is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeted against an epitope at the N-terminal of a specific type of amyloid beta (Aβ) - pyroglutamate Aβ - which is found only in the brain amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). It works by inducing microglial-mediated clearance of existing Aβ plaques with the intent of slowing the progressive decline in cognitive function associated with AD. A phase II study conducted by Eli Lilly and published in March 2021 (TRAILBLAZER-ALZ), which looked at 257 patients with early symptomatic AD, found that patients receiving donanemab experienced a roughly 30% slower progression in AD as measured by a disease rating scale (iADRS), although results for secondary endpoints were mixed. In March 2021, Eli Lilly announced an expanded trial, named TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2, which will seek to confirm the results of the first trial with an expanded patient population in order to address some of the deficiencies of the original.
