  • Phase 2 CELIA missed its primary endpoint on dose response in CDR-SB at 18 months, with no added benefit at higher doses.
  • 60 mg every six months showed the strongest signal vs placebo: 26% less decline on CDR-SB, 42% on ADAS-Cog13, 50% on MMSE.
  • Biomarkers showed mean CSF total tau reductions of 50%-65%; tau PET also declined across evaluated brain regions.
  • Safety profile was generally tolerable; most common events were procedural pain, post-lumbar puncture syndrome, confusional state.
