Acumen Pharmaceuticals presented data on using pTau217 assay as an efficient screening tool for their Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD clinical trial of sabirnetug for early Alzheimer's disease. The assay, with a threshold of ≥0.15 pg/mL, effectively identifies potential participants likely to have amyloid in the brain, reducing unnecessary amyloid PET scans and lumbar procedures. 74% of participants with elevated pTau217 met amyloid burden eligibility requirements, compared to 40% in their Phase 1 trial without this screening approach. The study is enrolling at 75 sites across multiple regions, with completion expected in first half of 2025.
