Acumen halts Alzheimer’s drug sabirnetug after Phase 2 trial fails primary endpoint

Acumen Pharmaceuticals announced that its Phase 2 ALTITUDE-AD trial for sabirnetug (ACU193), a drug targeting early Alzheimer's disease, did not meet the primary endpoint of slowing cognitive and functional decline compared to placebo. The trial also failed key secondary endpoints, although the drug was generally well tolerated and showed significant amyloid plaque reduction. Based on these results, Acumen will stop developing sabirnetug, including the trial's extension phase, and will explore strategic options while conserving cash. The company remains hopeful for future Alzheimer's treatments and appreciates the efforts of patients and staff involved.

Acumen Pharmaceuticals' Phase 2 trial results provide context for readers following developments in early Alzheimer's disease treatments.
