Risk reduction and precision prevention across the Alzheimer’s disease continuum: a systematic review of clinical trials combining multidomain lifestyle interventions and pharmacological or nutraceutical approaches
Review
To effectively combat dementia onset and progression, lifestyle-based interventions targeting multiple risk factors and disease mechanisms through a multidomain approach - tailored and implemented early in the disease process - have emerged as promising. Electronic databases and relevant websites (clinicaltrials.gov, euclinicaltrials.eu, PubMed and EMBASE) were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing the combination of multidomain lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. Studies were included if 1) lifestyle intervention was multimodal (≥2 domains); 2) it was combined with drugs, supplements, or medical food; 3) the study population was within the Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias continuum, including cognitively normal individuals at-risk for dementia, people with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or prodromal AD; 4) outcomes included cognitive or dementia-related measure(s), and 5) intervention lasted at least 6 months. Twelve combination RCTs were identified, incorporating 2 to 7 lifestyle domains (physical exercise, cognitive training, dietary guidance, social activities, sleep hygiene, cardiovascular/metabolic risk management, psychoeducation or stress management), combined with pharmacological components (e.g., Omega-3, Tramiprosate, vitamin D, BBH-1001, epigallocatechin gallate, Souvenaid, and metformin). Seven RCTs targeted participants with prodromal AD, MCI or early dementia, five focused on at risk individuals or SCD. Additionally, 2 studies adopted a precision medicine approach by enriching populations with APOE-ε4 carriers. Findings suggest that well-designed interventions - tailored to the right individuals, implemented at the optimal time - may effectively improve cognition. However, further refinement of the RCT methodology is warranted, for better alignment with the multifaceted nature of dementia prevention and management.

Abstract:
Background:
Valiltramiprosate/ALZ‐801, an oral inhibitor of amyloid oligomer formation, was evaluated in a Phase 3 trial in APOE4/4 homozygotes with Early AD, with main results presented at this meeting (Power et al, 2025). APOE4 is a risk factor for cerebral amlyloid angiopathy (CAA) and ARIA. Tramiprosate (active agent in ALZ‐801) had shown no ARIA‐E in prior studies, allowing the APOLLOE4 trial to include subjects with any number of microhemorrhages (MH) and several siderosis lesions at screening MRI.
Method:
This 78‐week placebo‐controlled trial enrolled 325 homozygotes who received placebo or 265 mg BID. Anti‐coagulants were exclusionary. In addition to adverse event (AE) assessments, MRIs were performed every 26 weeks and evaluated by Clario Inc. for occurrence of ARIA with edema and/or microhemorrhage/siderosis (ARIA‐E, ARIA‐H).
Result:
Safety population (
N
=325) was 51% females, 89% Caucasian, mean age 68 years, MMSE 25.6, with MCI vs. Mild AD (39% vs 61%); 298 had screening MRI (149/arm provided ≥1 post‐dose MRI). At baseline, 32% had >1 MH (placebo, 32%, active, 31%); 11% in placebo and 8% in active arm had siderosis (maximum 4 and 5 lesions, respectively); and 5% in each arm had ≥ 10 MH. New ARIA‐E occurred during the study in 5 subjects in each arm (3%) and new macrohemorrhages in 2 subjects/arm. Increase in MH from low to high category (0, 1‐4, 5‐9, ≥10 MH) was seen in 14% placebo and 9% active arm. Radiographic ARIA were all mild except 1 severe (placebo) and 1 moderate (active); all were without symptoms. AEs with incidence >5% and >2x placebo rate were nausea (26%), weight decrease (14%), decreased appetite and vomiting (10% each); with lower incidence of headache, falls and dizziness in active arm.
Conclusion:
APOLLOE4 enrolled homozygotes with a high CAA burden who would be ineligibile for amyloid antibody treatments. Valiltramiprosate overall safety was favorable and consistent with prior studies. ARIA‐E incidence was similar to placebo, and ARIA‐H was lower than placebo with no symptomatic ARIA events over 78 weeks of treatment. Coupled with promising efficacy in MCI subjects, valiltramiprosate can provide a favorable benefit‐risk profile for the high‐risk APOE4/4 patients with unmet treatment need.

Abstract:
Background:
Valiltramiprosate (ALZ‐801) is an oral inhibitor of amyloid oligomer formation. Tramiprosate (active agent in ALZ‐801) had shown promising efficacy signals with favorable safety in ∼1300 APOE4 carriers with AD, with no observed ARIA‐E. This trial evaluated Valiltramiprosate in APOE4/4 homozygotes with Early AD.
Method:
This 78‐week double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, two‐arm trial that randomized 325 homozygotes (162 to placebo, 163 to 265 mg BID), stratified by MCI (MMSE 27‐30) or Mild AD (MMSE 22‐26). MRI (1.5/3 Tesla) were conducted every 26 weeks and analyzed by Clario Inc. The clinical outcomes were ADAS‐Cog13 (primary), CDR‐SB (key secondary) and DAD (disability assessment for dementia, secondary). Hippocampal volume (HV) was the main imaging outcome. MMRM was the primary analysis model.
Result:
Safety population (
N
=325) was 51% females, 90% Caucasian, mean age 68 years, MMSE 25.6, 39% with MCI (MMSE 27‐30) and 30% with baseline microhemorrhages and/or siderosis. In the full analysis set (
N
=320), the placebo‐adjusted least‐square mean (LSM) difference in change from baseline (CBL) on ADAS‐Cog13 favored drug non‐significantly (delta=‐0.50;
p
=0.61, 11% vs placebo CBL); CDR‐SB and DAD numerically favored drug by 23% and 29%, but HV favored drug significantly (74 mm

). Prespecified Mild AD showed small nonsignificant clinical effects favoring placebo, but showed numerical benefit on HV (51mm

, 12%
p
= 0.115). In prespecified MCI, all outcomes favored drug (nominal
p
‐values): ADAS‐Cog13= ‐2.14 (
p

p
=0.053, 104%); DAD= 6.09 (
p
=0.016, 96%); and HV= 108 mm
3
(
p
= 0.004, 26% less atrophy). Nausea (mostly mild) was the most common adverse event; incidence of ARIA‐E was the same as placebo.
Conclusion:
In the overall population, ADAS‐Cog13 did not achieve significance, but the hippocampus showed significant 18% slowing of atrophy. The pre‐specified Mild group showed trends to HV atrophy slowing that did not translate to clinical benefits. The pre‐specified MCI group showed significant 28% HV atrophy slowing with meaningful cognitive and functional benefits and positive trends on several secondary clinical outcomes. Overall safety was favorable with no increased ARIA. In the high‐risk APOE4/4 population, this positive benefit‐risk profile supports valiltramiprosate’s potential as an oral disease‐modifying treatment for APOE4/4 homozygotes with MCI.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alzheon, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a broad portfolio of investigational therapies and diagnostic assays for patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders, today announced the peer-reviewed publication: “Hippocampal Atrophy on Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Surrogate Marker for Clinical Benefit and Neurodegeneration in Early Symptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease: Synthesis of Evidence from Observational and Interventional Trials”, in the scientific journal CNS Drugs. The full text is available online at: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40263-025-01251-y
The AD field urgently needs to improve treatments, and surrogate biomarkers are essential for accelerating drug development. This review, co-authored by Alzheon’s scientists and leading AD neuroimaging researchers and clinicians, analyzes clinical evidence for using hippocampal volume as a surrogate marker.
The results show that shrinkage of the hippocampus is closely linked to memory decline and disease progression, and that the hippocampus of Early Alzheimer's patients responds sensitively to disease-modifying therapies. Therefore, hippocampal volume (HV) may be a reliable and measurable surrogate used to assess clinical benefits in Early Alzheimer’s disease.
Key Findings
Predictive biomarker: HV atrophy closely tracks cognitive decline in both observational and interventional data, making HV a reliable and sensitive marker of disease progression.
Therapeutic sensitivity: Multiple clinical studies, including those evaluating lecanemab, donanemab, and valiltramiprosate/ALZ-801, have shown that interventions slowing cognitive decline are also associated with reduced hippocampal atrophy. These findings highlight the responsiveness of hippocampal volume to therapeutic intervention.
Clinical relevance: The analysis established a hippocampal volume preservation threshold of ≥40 mm³ that correlates with significant cognitive improvement at the Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) stage, underscoring hippocampal volume as a potential regulatory endpoint for early Alzheimer’s disease.
“Developing reliable non-invasive imaging-based surrogate markers is essential to accelerate Alzheimer’s drug development,” said Murali Doraiswamy, MBBS, FRCP, Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine at Duke University* and an expert in Alzheimer’s imaging & biomarkers. “Hippocampal atrophy, a structural hallmark of neuronal losses and neurodegeneration in AD, reflects the neurodegenerative process more directly than amyloid plaque deposition or clearance. It could serve as a predictive regulatory endpoint for evaluating new therapies in early symptomatic AD targeting multiple pathways beyond amyloid.”
Clinical trials involving about 10,000 participants tested anti-amyloid and anti-oligomer treatments, finding that reduced hippocampal atrophy was accompanied by slower cognitive decline over 18–24 months. Specifically, valiltramiprosate trials showed notable links between preserving hippocampal volume and better cognitive results for individual patients (r = –0.40 to –0.44, p <0.005), as well as consistency between hippocampal volume and microstructural integrity on diffusion tensor imaging scans. The research also identified that protecting 40 mm³ of hippocampal tissue was the minimum amount needed to see meaningful cognitive benefits in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
“The hippocampus is among the first regions of the brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Our findings indicate that preservation of hippocampal volume, reflecting reduced atrophy, is directly associated with clinical improvement as determined by established cognitive assessment measures,” said Susan Abushakra MD, Chief Medical Officer of Alzheon and the study’s lead author. “By confirming this association across both observational studies and randomized controlled trials—including data from valiltramiprosate/ ALZ-801 demonstrating microstructural integrity supporting hippocampal protection—we present strong evidence that hippocampal volume may serve as a surrogate marker for neuroprotection, clinical efficacy, and disease modification in early-stage Alzheimer’s disease."
These results reinforce the consideration of hippocampal volume as an early, robust, sensitive, and clinically significant indicator of neurodegeneration, underscoring its prospective utility in forthcoming Alzheimer's disease clinical trials. The hippocampus is essential for memory function, so its preservation provides a demonstrable measure of neuroprotection.
"Our analyses highlight the role of hippocampal volume as an important intermediary linking biomarker changes to clinically meaningful benefits," stated John Hey, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Alzheon. "Hippocampal atrophy is a key marker within the ‘N’ neurodegeneration category of the A/T/N classification, reflecting neuronal loss and the structural decline characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Consequently, mitigating brain atrophy is among the most significant indicators of disease modification in Alzheimer's disease. These results further substantiate our clinical findings in two valiltramiprosate studies involving APOE4 homozygotes and carriers, where retention of hippocampal integrity was strongly associated with reduced cognitive decline."

About ALZ-801
Valiltramiprosate/ALZ-801 is an investigational oral agent currently in Phase 3 development as a potential first-in-class, disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.3-7,9,12 Valiltramiprosate is designed to inhibit the formation of neurotoxic soluble beta amyloid oligomers that contribute to cognitive decline in individuals with AD.3-7,9,14 Preclinical mechanism-of-action studies have demonstrated that ALZ-801 can completely block the formation of these neurotoxic oligomers at the dosage used in Phase 3 clinical trials.3,9,12,14 Valiltramiprosate employs an enveloping molecular mechanism of action intended to prevent the aggregation of soluble amyloid oligomers in the human brain, 14 which are associated with the onset and progression of cognitive impairment in AD patients.3,4,7,9,10 In recognition of its therapeutic promise, valiltramiprosate received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Clinical trial data indicate that valiltramiprosate exhibits strong clinical efficacy at the MCI stage, and a favorable safety profile, with no observed increase in the risk of brain vasogenic edema.5-10,13,15 The initial Phase 3 program for valiltramiprosate targets Early AD patients who are homozygous for the apolipoprotein ε4 allele (APOE4/4), with plans to expand future research to include AD treatment and prevention in individuals carrying one copy of the APOE4 gene.3–10
Valiltramiprosate APOLLOE4 Phase 3 Trial
An Efficacy and Safety Study of Valiltramiprosate in APOE4/4 Early Alzheimer's Disease Subjects (NCT04770220): This trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, biomarker and imaging effects of 265 mg twice daily oral dose of valiltramiprosate in Early AD subjects with two copies of the apolipoprotein ε4 allele (APOE4/4 homozygotes), who constitute approximately 15% of Alzheimer's patients. This double-blind, randomized trial compared oral valiltramiprosate to placebo treatment over 78 weeks. The APOLLOE4 trial was supported by a grant from the National Institute on Aging to Alzheon, with Susan Abushakra as the principal investigator.
Valiltramiprosate APOLLOE4 Long Term Extension Trial (Phase 3 LTE)
An ongoing long-term extension of the trial, APOLLOE4-LTE, evaluates valiltramiprosate in subjects who complete the core APOLLOE4 study for an additional 104 weeks of treatment for a total of 182 weeks, or 3.5 years, over the core and LTE study. This LTE study is currently ongoing in the US, UK, and Canada (NCT06304883).
Valiltramiprosate Phase 2 Biomarker Trial
Biomarker Effects of Valiltramiprosate in APOE4 Carriers with Early Alzheimer's Disease (NCT04693520): This trial was designed to evaluate the effects of 265 mg twice daily oral dose of valiltramiprosate on biomarkers of AD pathology in subjects with Early AD, who have either the APOE4/4 or APOE3/4 genotype and constitute 65-70% of Alzheimer's patients. The primary outcome was the change from baseline in plasma p-tau181. The trial also included evaluation of clinical efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of valiltramiprosate over 104 weeks of treatment. A completed long-term extension of the trial evaluated the same dose of valiltramiprosate for an additional 104 weeks of treatment for a total of 208 weeks.2,6,7

注: Tacrine因肝毒性于2012年退市[1][2]。1.2 药物发展时间线与详述1993: Tacrine (他克林)
发现与开发: Tacrine是首个获FDA批准的AD治疗药物,标志着AD药物治疗的开端[1]。它于1986年开始临床试验,1993年9月9日获批用于轻至中度AD[2]。Tacrine是一种非选择性胆碱酯酶抑制剂,可同时抑制乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)和丁酰胆碱酯酶(BuChE)[3]。
作用机制: 通过抑制AChE降解乙酰胆碱,增加突触间隙乙酰胆碱浓度,改善胆碱能神经传递[4]。
退市原因: 由于显著的肝毒性(40-50%患者出现血清转氨酶升高)、需每日四次给药的不便性以及疗效有限,Tacrine于2012年被Warner-Lambert公司停产[1][2][5]。1996: Donepezil (多奈哌齐)
发现与开发: Donepezil的研发始于1983年,由日本卫材(Eisai)公司开发,1996年11月25日获FDA批准,商品名Aricept[6][7][8]。它是tacrine退市后AD治疗的主导药物,至今仍是全球处方量最大的AD药物[9]。2022年,透皮贴剂剂型(Adlarity)获批,改善了给药依从性[10]。
作用机制: Donepezil是高选择性、可逆性的中枢性AChE抑制剂,对AChE的选择性是BuChE的1250倍[11][12]。其半衰期长达70小时,允许每日一次给药[13]。
临床证据: 一项涉及>1000篇文献的回顾显示,donepezil可改善轻至重度AD患者的认知功能(ADAS-Cog评分改善2-3分)和日常生活能力[14]。网络meta分析表明,donepezil在认知改善方面显示最高疗效水平[15]。
药物基因组学: CYP2D6和CYP3A4基因多态性影响donepezil代谢,但尚未在临床常规应用[14]。2000: Rivastigmine (卡巴拉汀)
发现与开发: Rivastigmine由Novartis开发,2000年4月13日获FDA批准,商品名Exelon[16][17]。它是首个获批用于轻至中度AD的双重胆碱酯酶抑制剂[18]。透皮贴剂剂型于2007年获批,显著降低了胃肠道副作用[19]。
作用机制: Rivastigmine是准不可逆(pseudo-irreversible)的AChE和BuChE抑制剂,通过氨基甲酰化酶的活性位点形成共价键,抑制时间长达10小时[20][21]。其独特之处在于同时抑制两种胆碱酯酶,理论上可提供更广泛的胆碱能增强[22]。
临床证据: 在轻至中度AD患者中,rivastigmine可改善认知功能和日常生活能力,疗效与donepezil相当[23]。透皮贴剂显示出更好的耐受性,胃肠道副作用发生率降低50%[24]。
特殊应用: Rivastigmine也被批准用于帕金森病痴呆(PDD),是唯一获此适应症的胆碱酯酶抑制剂[25]。2001: Galantamine (加兰他敏)
发现与开发: Galantamine最初从雪花莲(Galanthus)中提取,具有数千年的植物药用历史[26]。现代合成版本由Janssen和Shire公司开发,2001年2月28日获FDA批准,商品名Razadyne(原名Reminyl)[27][28]。
作用机制: Galantamine具有双重作用机制:(1)竞争性、可逆性AChE抑制;(2)变构调节烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(nAChRs),特别是α4β2和α7亚型,增强胆碱能神经传递[29][30][31]。这种独特的烟碱受体调节作用理论上可提供神经保护效应[32]。
临床证据: 在轻至中度AD患者中,galantamine显示出与donepezil相当的认知改善效果[15]。网络meta分析显示galantamine在认知功能改善方面排名第一或第二[15][33]。2003: Memantine (美金刚)
发现与开发: Memantine的历史可追溯至1963年,最初由Eli Lilly合成,作为潜在的降糖药物[34]。1986年开始作为痴呆治疗进入临床试验,1989年在德国首次上市,2003年10月16日获FDA批准用于中至重度AD,商品名Namenda[35][36][37]。
作用机制: Memantine是首个也是唯一获批的NMDA(N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸)受体非竞争性拮抗剂,具有中等亲和力(Ki=0.5μM)和快速解离动力学[38][39]。其独特作用机制包括:阻断病理性谷氨酸兴奋性毒性:
在慢性谷氨酸过度释放时阻断NMDA受体,防止钙离子过度内流和神经元死亡[40]保留生理性神经传递:
由于快速解离特性,memantine允许正常的生理性NMDA受体激活,不影响学习和记忆功能[41]电压依赖性阻断:
仅在过度去极化状态下阻断受体,保护机制更精准[42]
临床证据: Meta分析显示memantine在中至重度AD患者中可改善认知功能(MMSE改善0.99分)、整体功能和日常生活能力[43][44]。与胆碱酯酶抑制剂联合使用可能产生协同效应[45]。
更新进展: 2024年研究显示memantine可能通过调节突触可塑性和减少tau蛋白过度磷酸化提供额外的神经保护作用[46][47]。2014: Donepezil+Memantine 复方制剂
发现与开发: 2014年12月23日,FDA批准了donepezil和memantine的固定剂量复方制剂(Namzaric),用于中至重度AD患者[48][49]。这是首个结合胆碱能增强和谷氨酸调节的复方制剂。
理论基础: 联合治疗针对AD的两个不同病理机制:胆碱能功能缺失和谷氨酸兴奋性毒性,理论上可提供更全面的症状控制[50]。
临床证据: 一项24周的双盲研究显示,联合治疗在中至重度AD患者中比单用memantine显示出更显著的认知和功能改善[51]。长期研究(52周)显示联合治疗延缓了认知衰退和功能恶化[52]。1.3 小分子药物的局限性
尽管这些小分子药物已使用20-30年,但它们仅提供症状性治疗,不能改变疾病进程[53][54]。Meta分析显示,胆碱酯酶抑制剂的平均疗效仅为2-3个ADAS-Cog评分点,临床意义有限[55][56]。此外,约30-50%患者因胃肠道副作用(恶心、呕吐、腹泻)而停药[57]。这些局限性推动了疾病修饰疗法(disease-modifying therapies, DMTs)的开发,特别是靶向淀粉样蛋白的单克隆抗体[58][59]。2. 靶向Aβ的单克隆抗体:三款上市药物的深度分析2.1 概述
截至2025年,三款靶向Aβ的单克隆抗体已获FDA批准用于早期AD治疗,它们代表了AD药物开发史上的重大突破,是首批被证明能够减缓认知衰退的疾病修饰疗法[60][61][62]。

Aducanumab由Biogen与Eisai联合开发,其发现源于一项独特的"反向转化医学"研究:科学家从健康老年人血清中筛选出能够识别Aβ聚集体的天然抗体,aducanumab因其高亲和力脱颖而出[63][64]。
临床试验时间线:2015-2019:
两项平行的III期临床试验(ENGAGE, NCT02477800; EMERGE, NCT02484547)招募了3285名早期AD患者[65]2019年3月:
因无效性分析显示不太可能达到主要终点,Biogen宣布终止试验,引发全球震惊[66]2019年10月:
戏剧性反转,Biogen宣布在新增数据分析中,EMERGE试验高剂量组显示统计学显著的认知获益,决定向FDA提交上市申请[67]2021年6月7日:
FDA通过加速批准途径批准aducanumab,引发科学界和监管机构内部的激烈争议[68][69]2024年11月:
Biogen宣布停止aducanumab的生产和销售,结束了这一充满争议的历程[70]2.2.2 作用机制
Aducanumab是一种人源化IgG1单克隆抗体,具有独特的双重靶向特性[71][72]:主要靶点:
聚集态Aβ,包括可溶性寡聚体和不溶性纤维状斑块结合位点:
Aβ肽段的N端(氨基酸3-7位),这一区域在聚集后构象变化暴露清除机制:
通过Fc受体介导的小胶质细胞吞噬作用清除脑内Aβ斑块[73]2.2.3 临床数据
EMERGE试验(阳性试验):
高剂量组(10 mg/kg)在18个月时CDR-SB评分减缓23%(p=0.01)[74]
MMSE评分改善15%(p=0.04)
ADAS-Cog13改善27%(p=0.01)
PET显像显示Aβ斑块负荷降低59-71%[75]
ENGAGE试验(阴性试验):
未达到主要终点,无统计学显著改善[76]
这一不一致性成为FDA批准决定的主要争议点
安全性问题:ARIA-E(淀粉样蛋白相关影像异常-水肿/渗出):
35.2%[77]ARIA-H(微出血/含铁血黄素沉积):
19.1%[78]
APOE ε4携带者ARIA风险显著增加(纯合子>50%)[79]2.2.4 争议与停产
FDA的批准决定引发前所未有的争议[80][81]:疗效争议:
两项试验结果不一致,FDA自己的咨询委员会以10:0投票反对批准[82]临床意义质疑:
0.39分的CDR-SB改善是否具有临床意义存疑[83]高昂价格:
最初定价$56,000/年,后降至$28,200,但仍被认为性价比低[84]有限使用:
Medicare最初拒绝覆盖,严重限制了临床应用[85]
2024年11月,Biogen正式宣布停止aducanumab的生产和销售,理由是临床应用极为有限,转而专注于lecanemab[70][86]。2.3 Lecanemab (Leqembi):当前的金标准2.3.1 开发历程
Lecanemab(原名BAN2401)由瑞典BioArctic公司开发,Eisai和Biogen获得全球开发和商业化权利[87][88]。其设计基于对Aβ聚集级联的深入理解,特异性靶向早期毒性形式的Aβ。
临床试验时间线:2016-2018:
IIb期研究(Study 201)显示剂量依赖性的Aβ清除和认知获益趋势[89]2019-2022:
III期临床试验Clarity AD(NCT03887455)招募1795名早期AD患者[90]2023年1月6日:
FDA通过加速批准途径批准lecanemab[91]2023年7月6日:
FDA授予完全批准(传统批准),成为首个通过完整III期试验验证的抗Aβ抗体[92][93]2024年:
全球多个国家/地区批准,包括日本、中国、欧盟(有条件批准)[94]2.3.2 作用机制
Lecanemab具有高度特异性的靶向特性,这是其安全性和疗效优势的关键[95][96]:主要靶点:
可溶性Aβ原纤维(protofibrils),这是介于单体和成熟纤维斑块之间的中间聚集形式,被认为是最具神经毒性的Aβ形式[97][98]结合特性:
对原纤维的亲和力比单体高1000倍以上,比成熟纤维高10-100倍[99]结合位点:
Aβ肽段的中段和C端区域清除机制:
(1)直接中和可溶性原纤维的毒性;(2)通过小胶质细胞介导的吞噬作用清除;(3)可能阻止原纤维向成熟斑块转化[100][101]2.3.3 临床数据
Clarity AD试验:主要终点达成:
18个月时CDR-SB评分恶化减缓27%(0.45分 vs 0.67分,p<0.001),这是抗Aβ抗体试验中最强的临床信号[102][103]次要终点:
ADAS-Cog14:改善26%(p<0.001)
ADCOMS:改善24%(p<0.001)
日常生活能力(ADCS-MCI-ADL):改善37%(p<0.001)[104]Aβ清除:
PET显像显示18个月时Aβ斑块负荷降低68.1%,59.1%患者达到淀粉样蛋白阴性[105]生物标志物改变:
血浆p-tau217降低26.9%,提示下游病理减轻[106]
长期扩展研究(AHEAD 3-45):正在进行的研究评估lecanemab在临床前AD(仅有Aβ沉积无症状)患者中的预防作用[107]。
安全性特征:ARIA-E:
12.6%(vs 安慰剂1.7%),其中大多数为轻至中度,通常在3个月内消退[108]ARIA-H:
17.3%(微出血14.0%,含铁血黄素沉积8.3%)[109]严重不良事件:
总体发生率与安慰剂相似(14.0% vs 11.3%)[110]APOE ε4相关风险:
ε4纯合子ARIA-E发生率达33.5%,但仍低于aducanumab[111]2.3.4 临床应用考量
适合人群:
确诊的早期AD(MCI或轻度痴呆阶段)
生物标志物证实的Aβ阳性(通过PET或CSF)
MMSE评分≥22[112]
监测要求:
治疗前进行MRI基线扫描,排除已存在的微出血/出血
前7个月每3个月进行一次MRI监测ARIA
APOE ε4基因型检测推荐但非强制[113]
实际疗效意义:多项分析显示lecanemab的疗效具有临床意义[114][115]:
27%的减缓相当于延迟疾病进展约7.5个月
预计可推迟患者需要全时照护的时间约2-3年[116]
成本效益分析显示,尽管年治疗费用$26,500,但考虑到照护成本节省,仍具有卫生经济学价值[117]2.4 Donanemab (Kisunla):最新且可能最有效2.4.1 开发历程
Donanemab由Eli Lilly独立开发,采用了与前两款抗体不同的靶向策略,专注于成熟的斑块形式[118][119]。
临床试验时间线:2017-2021:
II期试验TRAILBLAZER-ALZ(NCT03367403)显示强劲疗效信号[120]2020-2023:
III期试验TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2(NCT04437511)招募1736名早期AD患者[121]2024年7月2日:
FDA授予完全批准,成为第二款获完全批准的抗Aβ抗体[122][123]2.4.2 作用机制
Donanemab的独特性在于其高度特异的靶点选择[124][125]:主要靶点:N3pG-modified Aβ
(N端第3位谷氨酸发生焦谷氨酸化修饰的Aβ),这是沉积在脑斑块中的主要Aβ形式,占斑块Aβ的50-90%[126]靶向逻辑:
N3pG修饰仅发生在聚集/沉积的Aβ中,可溶性Aβ不具有此修饰,因此donanemab几乎不结合可溶性Aβ或CAA相关的Aβ[127]清除机制:
高亲和力结合成熟斑块,募集小胶质细胞进行快速吞噬清除[128]独特特征:
"治疗至斑块清除"策略—一旦PET显示Aβ斑块降至阴性阈值以下,即可停药[129]2.4.3 临床数据
TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2试验:该试验采用创新的分层设计,根据基线tau病理分为低/中度tau组和高tau组[130]。
主要终点(iADRS综合评分):低/中度tau组:
76周时减缓35%(p<0.001),这是迄今抗Aβ抗体试验中最强的疗效信号[131]全体人群:
减缓22%(p=0.004)[132]高tau组:
疗效减弱(仅11%,未达统计显著性),提示tau病理晚期患者获益有限[133]
次要终点:CDR-SB:
低/中度tau组减缓36%,全体减缓29%[134]ADAS-Cog13:
减缓26%[135]Aβ清除:
76周时PET显示Aβ负荷降低84.8%,80.1%患者达到淀粉样蛋白阴性[136]血浆p-tau217:
降低高达43%,提示强劲的下游病理改善[137]
停药策略的可行性:40.9%的donanemab治疗患者在76周内达到Aβ阴性并停药,其中大多数在停药后仍维持临床获益[138]。这一策略可能显著降低长期治疗成本和ARIA风险。
安全性特征:ARIA-E:
24.0%(vs 安慰剂1.9%)[139]ARIA-H:
31.4%(微出血19.7%),高于lecanemab,可能与对斑块的强力清除作用有关[140]3例ARIA相关死亡:
引发关注,但因果关系尚不明确(可能与合并使用抗凝药物有关)[141]APOE ε4纯合子:
ARIA-E发生率达到40-50%,需谨慎评估风险-获益比[142]2.5 三款抗体的结构差异与结合特性比较2.5.1 结构特征
尽管三款抗体均为人源化IgG1,但在结合特异性和亲和力上存在显著差异[143][144]。

Aducanumab的"广谱"问题:Aducanumab结合Aβ的N端3-7位氨基酸序列(EFRH),该表位在所有聚集形式和部分单体中暴露[145]。这导致:
同时结合可溶性寡聚体和不溶性斑块
强烈结合血管淀粉样变(CAA),这被认为是高ARIA-E发生率的主要原因[146][147]
可能耗竭部分具有保护作用的可溶性Aβ[148]
Lecanemab的"精准打击":Lecanemab通过识别Aβ聚集过程中形成的构象表位,实现高选择性[149][150]:
原纤维的β折叠结构暴露特定的构象表位,lecanemab仅识别此构象
对可溶性单体和成熟纤维的亲和力比原纤维低1000-10000倍
对CAA的结合显著低于aducanumab,可能解释了其较低的ARIA发生率[151][152]
Donanemab的"后修饰特异性":N3pG修饰是Aβ聚集后发生的不可逆化学变化,仅存在于沉积的斑块中[153][154]:
Donanemab的抗原识别完全依赖于焦谷氨酸化修饰,几乎不结合未修饰的Aβ
CAA中的Aβ较少发生N3pG修饰,因此donanemab对CAA结合力极低[155]
这一特性理论上应降低ARIA风险,但实际临床数据显示ARIA-H发生率反而最高,可能与快速斑块清除导致的局部组织反应有关[156]2.6 结合能力越强,疗效是否越好?深度分析
这是AD药物开发中的一个关键悖论:更强的Aβ结合力不一定带来更好的临床疗效,反而可能增加安全性风险[157][158]。2.6.1 Aβ清除率与认知疗效的关系

关键发现:Aβ清除与疗效非线性关系:
Donanemab的Aβ清除率最高(84.8%),认知疗效也最强;但aducanumab清除率达59-71%时,疗效仅22%且试验结果不一致[159][160]。"最佳靶点"假说:
Lecanemab的数据支持"靶向中间聚集体(原纤维)比终末聚集体(成熟斑块)更有效"的理论,因为原纤维是当前正在行使毒性的形式,而成熟斑块可能已相对惰性[161][162]。时机窗口至关重要:
TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2显示,在低/中度tau患者(疾病更早期)中疗效显著更强(35% vs 11%),提示Aβ清除的获益在tau病理尚未广泛扩散前最大[163][164]。2.6.2 ARIA风险与结合特性的关系
多项研究揭示了ARIA发生机制与抗体结合特性的复杂关系[165][166]:
ARIA-E(水肿/渗出):主要机制:
抗体结合CAA引发血管炎症反应,导致血-脑屏障(BBB)破坏[167]与CAA结合力的相关性:
Aducanumab > Donanemab > Lecanemab(与ARIA-E发生率趋势一致)[168][169]2025年体外研究:
使用人脑组织切片的结合实验显示,aducanumab对CAA的结合信号强度是lecanemab的3-5倍[170]
ARIA-H(微出血):主要机制:
快速斑块清除导致血管周围组织结构改变,或直接损伤血管壁[171]与清除速度的相关性:
Donanemab > Lecanemab > Aducanumab(donanemab最快清除斑块,ARIA-H也最高)[172]悖论现象:
Donanemab对CAA结合力最低,但ARIA-H最高,提示其他机制参与(如快速吞噬反应引发的局部炎症)[173]2.6.3 "Goldilocks原则"—恰到好处的结合力
系统性比较研究提出了**"适度结合假说"(Moderate Binding Hypothesis)**[174][175]:过强结合(如aducanumab对CAA):
导致过度免疫激活,BBB破坏,ARIA-E高发过弱结合:
无法有效清除Aβ,疗效不足(如早期失败的crenezumab)[176]适度且选择性结合(如lecanemab):
有效清除致病性Aβ形式,同时最小化对血管和非致病性Aβ的影响
2024年计算建模研究[177]: 使用分子动力学模拟和平衡结合实验,研究者发现:
Lecanemab对原纤维的结合亲和力(Kd≈0.3 nM)与其对斑块Aβ的清除能力和ARIA风险之间达到最优平衡
Aducanumab对所有形式Aβ的"无差别"高亲和力(Kd≈0.5-2 nM)导致靶向特异性不足
Donanemab对N3pG-Aβ的极高特异性(Kd<0.1 nM)虽然最小化了脱靶效应,但快速清除动力学可能触发过度的炎症反应2.6.4 结论:疗效取决于"靶向精准度",而非单纯"结合强度"
综合证据支持以下结论[178][179][180]:精准性>强度:
Lecanemab的成功表明,高度选择性靶向毒性Aβ形式(原纤维)比广谱高亲和力结合更有效且更安全疾病阶段匹配:
Donanemab在低tau患者中的卓越疗效(35%)表明,斑块清除的获益窗口在疾病早期;晚期患者tau病理占主导,单纯清除Aβ收益有限风险-获益平衡:
Lecanemab的中等ARIA发生率(ARIA-E 12.6%)和强劲疗效(27%)使其成为当前最优选择;Donanemab虽疗效更强但ARIA-H风险也更高,需个体化权衡未来方向:
下一代抗体应优化靶向特异性(如lecanemab)同时提高清除效率(如donanemab的停药策略),并开发ARIA预测和预防策略3. 已失败的AD药物:教训与启示
AD药物开发是失败率最高的领域之一,2002-2022年间成功率仅3.6%[181][182]。理解失败原因对未来药物开发至关重要。3.1 失败药物汇总

Bapineuzumab(2012):机制:
靶向Aβ N端1-5位氨基酸,与天然抗体3D6相似[216]失败原因:
两项III期试验(研究301, 302)未达主要终点[217]
APOE ε4携带者ARIA-E发生率高达15%(非携带者<2%)[218]
可能过于强烈结合CAA,导致血管并发症限制了剂量提升[219]教训:
APOE ε4基因型需纳入试验分层;CAA结合需最小化
Solanezumab(2016):机制:
靶向可溶性Aβ单体中段(16-26位),理论上阻止聚集[220]失败原因:
EXPEDITION-3试验(2129名轻度AD患者)主要终点阴性[221]
尽管降低了CSF可溶性Aβ,但不清除脑内斑块(PET无变化)[222]
事后分析提示可能需要更早期干预(临床前阶段)[223]教训:
单纯结合可溶性Aβ单体不足以产生临床获益;需要实际清除聚集体
Gantenerumab(2022):机制:
完全人源IgG1,结合Aβ N端和C端的构象表位,高Fc介导吞噬能力[224]失败原因:
GRADUATE 1&2试验显示Aβ斑块清除显著(高剂量组-54.8%),但CDR-SB无统计学改善[225][226]
可能剂量仍不足,或患者选择过晚(包含较多中度AD患者)[227]
ARIA发生率高(ARIA-E 19.6%, ARIA-H 28.7%),限制了剂量提升[228]教训:
Aβ清除是必要但非充分条件;疾病阶段选择至关重要

IgG4抗体,低Fc效应功能,靶向Aβ寡聚体[229]失败原因:
IgG4设计初衷是降低ARIA风险,但同时降低了清除效率[230]
CREAD试验显示Aβ清除非常有限,无临床获益[231]教训:
过度降低免疫效应功能会牺牲疗效;IgG1可能是必须的3.2.2 BACE抑制剂的"集体阵亡"
BACE(β-site APP-cleaving enzyme)抑制剂理论上可从源头阻断Aβ生成,但至少6款候选药物在2017-2019年集体失败,引发对该策略的根本性质疑[232][233]。
共同失败特征:认知恶化:
多项试验观察到治疗组认知评分恶化快于安慰剂组[234][235]生理功能障碍:
体重减轻、睡眠障碍、毛发/皮肤颜色改变等[236]生物标志物矛盾:
CSF Aβ42降低(符合预期),但tau/p-tau未改善,甚至升高[237]
失败机制解析:BACE1的生理功能广泛:
BACE1不仅切割APP,还处理其他重要底物(如神经调节素、Na通道β亚单位、SEZ6),过度抑制导致多种生理功能障碍[238][239]时机窗口已过:
AD患者脑内Aβ沉积已持续10-20年,此时阻断新生成的Aβ可能为时已晚[240]补偿性Aβ上调:
长期抑制BACE1可能触发APP表达上调等补偿机制[241]
Verubecestat的警示案例:
Merck的verubecestat是首个失败的BACE抑制剂,2017年EPOCH试验(1958名轻至中度AD患者)显示高剂量组认知恶化反而更快[242][243]
这一结果震惊了整个领域,并引发了对"Aβ假说"本身的质疑[244]
教训:
BACE抑制可能不适合有症状的AD患者,但在临床前阶段(Aβ刚开始累积时)可能仍有潜力[245]
DIAN-TU正在遗传性AD高危人群中测试BACE抑制剂的预防作用[246]3.2.3 抗Tau抗体:为何全军覆没?
至今已有至少4款抗tau抗体在II期试验失败,无一进入III期[247][248]。
共同失败特征:
CSF tau降低(证实靶点接合),但无临床获益[249]
PET tau未显著改变[250]
失败原因分析:靶向细胞外tau的局限:
这些抗体均靶向细胞外tau,但AD中tau病理主要在细胞内(神经纤维缠结),细胞外tau可能只是"旁观者"而非主要致病因子[251][252]疾病阶段过晚:
当患者已有临床症状时,神经元大量丧失,清除tau可能无法逆转已发生的损伤[253]tau传播机制复杂:
Tau通过突触连接传播,单纯中和细胞外tau可能无法阻断传播[254]
教训:
未来tau疗法可能需要进入细胞内(如ASO反义寡核苷酸降低tau表达)[255]
或在疾病更早期(MCI阶段)干预[256]3.3 系统性教训总结
AD药物失败率如此之高,根本原因包括[257][258]:疾病异质性:
AD不是单一疾病,而是多种病理过程的综合征(Aβ、tau、神经炎症、血管损伤、代谢异常等)[259]时机窗口:
大多数试验纳入症状明显的患者,此时神经元损伤已不可逆;需要更早期干预[260]生物标志物盲目性:
早期试验未强制要求Aβ/tau阳性证实,导致纳入非AD患者稀释疗效信号[261]评估终点不敏感:
传统认知量表(ADAS-Cog, MMSE)在早期AD患者中变化缓慢,难以捕捉轻微改善[262]单一靶点局限:
AD是多因素疾病,单一靶点干预可能不足[263]
这些教训推动了当前试验设计的改进:生物标志物证实、早期干预、复合终点、精准分层[264][265]。4. 在研靶向药物管线(2025)
尽管经历了无数失败,AD药物管线依然活跃。2025年报告显示,有138个新药在182项临床试验中,较2024年增长9%[266][267]。4.1 在研靶向药物列表

Trontinemab (RO7126209)是罗氏在gantenerumab失败后开发的新一代抗Aβ抗体,通过优化选择性(高亲和力结合原纤维,低结合单体)和减弱Fc功能降低ARIA风险[503][504]。
关键数据:
Phase 1显示ARIA-E发生率12%(vs lecanemab 13%),ARIA-H8%(vs lecanemab 17%)[505][506]SKYLINE Phase 2/3
(NCT06049329):1400名早期AD患者,4500mg Q4W,主要终点CDR-SB(18个月),预计2027年中期完成[507][508]
**差异化定位:**月度给药+更低出血风险,但需证明疗效不劣于lecanemab才具竞争力[509][510]。4.2 重点在研药物详述4.2.1 E2814:新一代抗Tau抗体
开发背景: Eisai开发的E2814是目前最先进的抗tau抗体,与前代失败药物的关键区别在于靶向tau蛋白的微管结合区(MTBR)[280][281]。
作用机制:
特异性结合细胞外tau的MTBR区域,该区域对tau聚集和毒性至关重要[282]
Fc区域沉默设计,降低免疫激活风险[283]
阻断tau在神经元间的扩散传播[284]
临床进展:
Phase 2研究(NCT04971733)在早期AD患者中进行,主要终点包括认知功能和PET tau变化[285]
初步数据显示良好的安全性和靶点接合证据(CSF tau降低)[286]
Phase 2/3 FRONTIER-AD研究(NCT05269394)正在进行中,预计2027年公布结果[287]
创新点: 如果成功,E2814将证明靶向MTBR比N端更有效,为tau疗法开辟新路径。4.2.2 Bepranemab:首个显示PET tau降低的抗体
开发背景: UCB公司的bepranemab是首个在临床试验中显示出PET tau成像降低的抗tau抗体,在2024年CTAD会议上公布的数据引发关注[288][289]。
作用机制:
靶向细胞外tau的中段区域(与前代药物不同)[290]
IgG4骨架,降低Fc效应功能[291]
临床数据(Phase 2初步结果):PET tau降低:
52周治疗后,颞叶PET tau信号降低15-20%(剂量依赖性),这是抗tau抗体首次显示的客观影像学证据[292][293]认知信号:
CDR-SB显示减缓趋势(约18%),但未达统计显著性(样本量较小,n=157)[294]安全性:
良好耐受,无ARIA或严重不良事件增加[295]
意义: Bepranemab的PET tau降低数据打破了"抗tau抗体无效"的魔咒,为该领域注入新希望。Phase 2b扩展研究(SAKURA, NCT05269394)正在招募更大样本量以验证疗效[296]。4.2.3 BIIB080:开创性的Tau ASO疗法
技术背景: BIIB080(原名IONIS-MAPTRx)是首个进入临床试验的tau反义寡核苷酸(antisense oligonucleotide, ASO),代表了与抗体完全不同的tau靶向策略[297][298]。
作用机制:
ASO通过互补配对结合MAPT(tau基因)的mRNA,募集RNase H酶降解mRNA[299]
直接从源头降低tau蛋白表达,包括细胞内和细胞外tau[300]
鞘内注射给药,绕过血脑屏障,直接进入CSF并被神经元摄取[301]
临床进展:
Phase 1/2研究(NCT03186989): 46名轻度AD患者接受鞘内注射,结果于2021年公布[302][303]:CSF tau降低:
高剂量组(100 mg)在13周时CSF总tau降低50%以上,效果持续至25周[304]安全性:
整体良好耐受,主要不良反应为鞘内注射相关(头痛、腰痛),无神经系统严重不良事件[305]认知信号:
探索性分析显示认知稳定趋势,但研究未设计为评估疗效[306]
Phase 2研究(CELIA, NCT05399888): 正在早期AD患者中进行,评估不同剂量方案对认知功能的影响[307]:
主要终点:CDR-SB变化(52周)[308]
次要终点:CSF tau、PET tau、脑萎缩速度[309]
预计完成时间:2025年底[310]
创新意义:首个"源头治疗":
降低tau蛋白生成而非清除已形成的病理,理论上更根本[311]细胞内作用:
克服了抗体无法进入细胞内的局限[312]技术平台价值:
如果成功,将为其他神经退行性疾病(如FTD、PSP)的ASO疗法铺路[313]
挑战:
鞘内给药的侵入性和不便性(每3-4个月一次腰椎穿刺)[314]
长期安全性未知(tau在神经系统中具有生理功能)[315]
是否需要终身治疗尚不明确[316]4.2.4 Remternetug:皮下注射的便利性革命
开发背景: Eli Lilly开发的remternetug (LY3372993)与lecanemab类似,同样靶向Aβ原纤维,但关键创新在于给药方式[317][318]。
作用机制:
单克隆抗体,高选择性结合Aβ可溶性原纤维[319]
作用机制与lecanemab基本相同,但经过优化以适合皮下给药[320]
给药创新:皮下注射剂型:
患者或照护者可在家自行注射,无需每2周到医院输液[321]自动注射笔:
类似糖尿病胰岛素笔,极大提高依从性[322]给药频率:
每周一次或每两周一次(剂量优化中)[323]
临床进展:Phase 2研究(NCT04629937):
2021-2023年在早期AD患者中完成,初步数据显示[324]:
生物标志物接合:血浆Aβ42/40比值改善,提示脑内Aβ清除[325]
安全性:ARIA发生率与lecanemab相似(ARIA-E约12-15%),但注射部位反应发生率约30%[326]Phase 3研究(TRAILRUNNER-ALZ 1&2, NCT05463731/NCT05508789):
2022年启动,预计2026年完成[327][328]:
目标招募1650名早期AD患者[329]
主要终点:CDR-SB(18个月)[330]
关键设计:与lecanemab头对头比较的优效性试验[331]
市场意义:
如果疗效与lecanemab相当,皮下剂型将成为巨大竞争优势[332]
降低医疗系统负担(无需输液中心资源)[333]
患者生活质量显著提升(避免每两周医院往返)[334]4.2.5 ALZ-801:重启的口服小分子希望
历史背景: ALZ-801(valiltramiprosate)是tramiprosate的前药,后者曾在2007年Phase 3失败,但ALZ-801通过改进药代动力学获得新生[335][336]。
作用机制:
小分子,与Aβ单体结合,阻止其聚集为寡聚体和原纤维[337][338]
不清除已形成的斑块,而是"预防"新聚集形成[339]
口服给药,跨越血脑屏障[340]
关键改进(vs tramiprosate):
前药设计提高生物利用度,降低胃肠道副作用[341]
优化剂量方案(265 mg BID)[342]
临床进展:Phase 2研究(COGNITE):
在APOE ε4/ε4纯合子早期AD患者中进行,显示初步疗效信号[343]:
该人群疾病进展快,理论上更容易观察到疗效[344]
海马萎缩速度减缓42%(p=0.035)[345]
认知功能(ADAS-Cog14)改善趋势,但未达统计显著[346]Phase 3研究(APOLLOE4, NCT04770220):
专注于APOE ε4/ε4纯合子人群[347]:
目标招募350名早期AD患者[348]
主要终点:ADAS-Cog14(78周)[349]
预计完成:2025年中[350]独特设计:
首个专门针对APOE ε4纯合子的Phase 3试验,这一人群占AD患者的10-15%,进展速度是平均水平的2-3倍[351]
优势:
口服便利性,无ARIA风险[352]
可能作为抗体疗法的辅助或替代选择(特别是抗体不耐受或禁忌患者)[353]
成本潜在更低[354]
挑战:
小分子阻止聚集的效果是否足以产生临床意义的认知改善仍待验证[355]
前代tramiprosate的失败阴影[356]5. 在研非靶向治疗机制:多样化的创新策略

差异化定位:月度给药+更低出血风险,但需证明疗效不劣于lecanemab才具竞争力[509][510]。5.2 重点非靶向机制深度解析5.2.1 神经炎症靶向:从破坏到修复
理论基础:神经炎症是AD的核心病理特征,小胶质细胞和星形胶质细胞的慢性激活导致神经元损伤[383][384]。然而,炎症在AD中扮演双刃剑角色:早期可能是保护性的(清除Aβ),但慢性激活转为破坏性(释放促炎因子、吞噬突触)[385][386]。因此,治疗策略需要"精准调节"而非简单"抑制"。
AL002 (latozinemab) - TREM2激动:TREM2(Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2):
小胶质细胞表面受体,其功能缺失突变显著增加AD风险(OR=2-4)[387][388]作用机制:
AL002激动TREM2,增强小胶质细胞的"良性"功能(Aβ吞噬、碎片清除),同时抑制过度炎症反应[389][390]Phase 1数据:
安全性良好,CSF可溶性TREM2增加(证实靶点接合)[391]Phase 2进展(INVOKE-2, NCT04592874):
在早期AD患者中评估认知和生物标志物变化,预计2026年公布[392]
挑战: TREM2激动是否真正转化为临床获益尚待验证;小胶质细胞激活的时机和程度难以精准控制[393]。
Masitinib争议:
2024年,EMA拒绝批准masitinib用于轻至中度AD,理由是Phase 3试验(AB09004)存在设计缺陷、疗效证据不充分[394][395]
然而,一项独立meta分析显示,masitinib在快速进展的AD亚组中可能有效(ADAS-Cog改善约1.5-2分)[396]
教训:神经炎症调节剂需要更精准的患者选择(如基于神经炎症PET成像分层)[397]5.2.2 肠道菌群-脑轴:GV-971的中国奇迹?

美国试验招募进展缓慢,FDA要求更严格的数据监测[419]5.2.3 代谢与线粒体靶向:能量危机的解决方案
理论基础:AD脑内存在显著的代谢功能障碍,包括葡萄糖利用降低(FDG-PET显示)、线粒体功能受损、氧化应激增加[420][421]。这些改变可能早于Aβ沉积和tau病理,提示代谢干预可能是早期预防的关键[422]。
Xanamem (UE2343) - 皮质醇调节:靶点:
11β-HSD1(11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1),该酶在脑内将无活性的可的松转化为活性皮质醇[423]AD中的作用:
慢性应激和衰老导致脑内皮质醇水平升高,损伤海马神经元、诱导胰岛素抵抗、加重Aβ和tau病理[424][425]作用机制:
Xanamem选择性抑制11β-HSD1,降低脑内皮质醇,改善糖代谢和神经元健康[426]
临床数据:Phase 2研究(XanaMIA, NCT03450005):
174名轻度AD患者,12周[427]:认知改善:

意义: Xanamem代表了"代谢修复"策略,可能与Aβ/tau靶向疗法协同使用[432]。
CMS121 - 线粒体靶向:机制:
通过稳定线粒体膜电位、增强ATP生成、减少活性氧(ROS)产生来保护神经元[433]Phase 2初步数据:
显示脑代谢改善和氧化应激标志物降低,但认知终点数据尚未公布[434]5.2.4 突触保护与再生:修复失去的连接
理论基础:突触丧失是AD认知衰退最直接的神经解剖学相关因素,比神经元数量减少或Aβ斑块负荷更能预测认知功能[435][436]。突触数量在MCI阶段即已减少20-30%,提示突触保护/再生可能是逆转认知衰退的关键[437]。
Fosgonimeton (ATH-1017)的失败教训:机制:
小分子HGF/c-Met通路激活剂,肝细胞生长因子(HGF)信号激活可促进神经元存活、突触形成和髓鞘修复[438][439]Phase 2结果:
显示CSF神经营养因子增加,突触蛋白(如neurogranin)改善[440]Phase 2/3失败(ACT-AD, 2023):
未达主要认知终点,Athira Pharma股价暴跌80%[441][442]失败原因分析:
生物标志物改善未转化为临床获益(再次证明替代终点的局限)[443]
突触再生可能需要更长时间才能影响认知[444]
或HGF通路在AD晚期已失去反应性[445]
Mevidalen (LY3372689) - O-GlcNAcase抑制:创新机制:
O-GlcNAc糖基化是一种关键的蛋白质翻译后修饰,调节tau磷酸化、突触蛋白功能和神经元能量代谢[446][447]AD中的作用:
O-GlcNAc水平降低导致tau过度磷酸化和突触功能障碍;抑制O-GlcNAcase可恢复正常O-GlcNAc水平[448]Phase 1数据:
安全性良好,CSF生物标志物显示O-GlcNAc水平升高[449]Phase 2进展:
正在评估认知和突触标志物变化,预计2025年公布[450]
意义: 如果成功,将证明"翻译后修饰调节"这一全新治疗范式的可行性[451]。5.2.5 毒蕈碱受体激动:精神症状的新希望
KarXT (Xanomeline-Trospium):组成:
Xanomeline(M1/M4毒蕈碱受体激动剂) + Trospium(外周抗胆碱药,减少外周副作用)[452]作用机制:M1受体激活:
增强认知功能,促进非淀粉样APP切割,降低Aβ生成[453]M4受体激活:
调节多巴胺释放,改善精神症状(激越、妄想、幻觉)[454]
临床进展:Phase 2研究(COGNITION, NCT05797519):
在AD相关激越患者中进行[455]:
主要终点:Cohen-Mansfield激越量表(CMAI)评分改善[456]
初步数据(2024年)显示激越症状显著减轻(效应量d=0.6-0.8)[457]意义:
可能成为首个专门针对AD行为精神症状(BPSD)的获批药物[458]
与抗Aβ抗体联合使用,实现"认知+行为"双重改善[459]
Karuna被BMS以140亿美元收购,显示业界对该机制的信心[460]5.3 联合疗法:未来的必然趋势
理论基础:AD是多因素疾病,单一靶点干预的天花板效应已显现。类似肿瘤学和HIV治疗,联合疗法可能是实现疾病修饰的唯一路径[461][462]。
当前探索的联合策略:
表8. 在研或计划中的联合疗法方案联合方案理论依据临床试验状态预期协同效应
Lecanemab + 抗Tau抗体(如E2814)
Aβ驱动tau扩散,双靶点阻断
计划中(Eisai)
延缓疾病进展>40%[463]
Lecanemab + 神经炎症调节剂
Aβ清除+炎症损伤控制
探索中
降低ARIA,提高疗效[464]
抗Aβ抗体 + 胆碱酯酶抑制剂
疾病修饰+症状控制
临床实践中广泛使用
疾病进程减缓+认知改善[465]
GV-971 + Lecanemab
外周炎症控制+中枢Aβ清除
假设性
多层次病理阻断[466]
挑战:复杂性:
试验设计难度指数级增加,样本量需求巨大[467]安全性风险:
不良反应叠加或新的相互作用[468]成本:
多药联用的经济负担(lecanemab已$26,500/年)[469]6. 总结与未来展望6.1 当前治疗格局总结
已批准疗法(2025):症状性治疗(传统):
3款胆碱酯酶抑制剂 + 1款NMDA拮抗剂,使用20-30年,疗效有限但安全[470]疾病修饰疗法(新):
2款抗Aβ单抗(lecanemab, donanemab),首次证明能减缓认知衰退27-36%,但ARIA风险和高成本限制应用[471][472]
疗效对比:
Lecanemab:当前金标准,安全性最佳,27%减缓(CDR-SB,18个月)[473]
Donanemab:可能疗效最强(低tau组36%),但ARIA-H风险最高,停药策略创新[474]6.2 未来5年的关键问题
抗Aβ抗体的长期疗效:
18个月疗效能否持续至3-5年?[475]
停药后疾病是否反弹?[476]
Open-label扩展研究正在回答这些问题[477]
更早期干预:
AHEAD 3-45试验(lecanemab预防性使用)将揭示临床前期干预的可行性[478]
如果成功,可能推动无症状Aβ阳性人群的预防性治疗[479]
Tau疗法突破:
E2814, bepranemab, BIIB080能否成为首个有效的tau疗法?[480]
如果成功,Aβ+tau双靶点联合治疗将成为现实[481]
非侵入性给药:
Remternetug(皮下)能否挑战lecanemab?[482]
口服抗Aβ小分子(如ALZ-801)能否证明可行?[483]
精准医疗:
基于APOE基因型、tau PET分期、神经炎症水平的个体化治疗方案[484][485]
AI驱动的治疗反应预测模型[486]
非Aβ/tau机制验证:
神经炎症(AL002)、肠道菌群(GV-971)、代谢(xanamem)能否证明独立疗效?[487]
这些机制是否需要与Aβ清除联合才能发挥作用?[488]6.3 对患者和临床医生的启示
当前建议(2025):早期诊断至关重要:
抗Aβ抗体仅对早期AD有效,疾病进展至中度后获益有限[489]生物标志物确认必须:
通过Aβ PET或CSF确认Aβ阳性后才应使用抗体疗法[490]ARIA监测不可忽视:
前7个月每3个月MRI监测,APOE ε4纯合子需谨慎评估风险-获益比[491]联合传统疗法:
抗体疗法不应替代胆碱酯酶抑制剂,联合使用可能带来额外获益[492]临床试验参与:
鼓励符合条件的患者参与临床试验,这是获得前沿疗法的重要途径[493]6.4 结语
从1993年tacrine的首次批准到2024年donanemab的完全批准,AD药物治疗走过了艰难的30年。尽管经历了无数失败和挫折,lecanemab和donanemab的成功最终证明了Aβ假说的有效性,并为疾病修饰疗法开辟了道路[494][495]。
然而,27-36%的疾病减缓仅是开始,而非终点。未来的治疗将可能是:更早期:
在临床前或MCI阶段开始干预[496]更精准:
基于基因组、生物标志物、影像学的个体化方案[497]更全面:
Aβ + tau + 炎症 + 代谢的多靶点联合[498]更便利:
口服或皮下给药,减少患者负担[499]更可及:
通过生物仿制药、成本优化,让更多患者获益[500]
AD的完全治愈之路依然漫长,但我们已经迈出了历史性的第一步。科学界、制药工业、监管机构和患者群体的共同努力,将继续推动这一领域向前发展[501][502]。文档完成声明

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alzheon, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing innovative therapeutics and diagnostics for patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), today announced it will present new efficacy and safety data from the Phase 2 study long term extension over 3 years, and quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) analyses for its lead investigational therapy, valiltramiprosate/ALZ-801, during the 18th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) conference in San Diego, California.
Positive clinical and structural brain outcomes from the APOLLOE4 Phase 3 program continue to strengthen the case for valiltramiprosate as a potential breakthrough oral treatment for the high-risk APOE4 population.
Valiltramiprosate is an investigational oral therapeutic agent in Phase 3 trials that works upstream of anti-amyloid antibodies by preventing neurotoxic amyloid oligomer formation. As a prodrug of tramiprosate with improved pharmacokinetics and brain penetration, it targets early amyloid aggregation, which is key in Alzheimer’s disease progression. Valiltramiprosate aims to preserve cerebral structure and function in individuals with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, with a particular emphasis on APOE4/4 homozygotes, who represent the highest genetic risk group and experience rapid disease progression with limited available treatment options.
“Positive clinical and structural brain outcomes from the APOLLOE4 Phase 3 program continue to strengthen the case for valiltramiprosate as a potential breakthrough oral treatment for the high-risk APOE4 population,” said David Watson, PhD, Founder & Principal Investigator, Alzheimer’s & Research Treatment Center. “Therapies that safely reduce the formation of toxic amyloid oligomers at the start of the disease process have the potential to shift how and when we treat Alzheimer’s disease. ALZ-801 has shown that promise in clinical trials.”
Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) analyses of long term valiltramiprosate clinical data to be presented at CTAD, predict preservation of hippocampal volume and broad reduction in neurodegeneration, consistent with meaningful slowing of clinical decline in early symptomatic AD. Studies show that valiltramiprosate binds monomeric beta amyloid, blocking the creation of harmful oligomers associated with synaptic toxicity and neuron loss. QSP analysis links reduced toxic oligomer formation to greater preservation of hippocampal volume, less neurodegeneration, and slower disease progression, especially in APOE4/4 individuals who have higher levels of neurotoxic amyloid. Favorable long-term safety results over 3 years with no ARIA events continue to differentiate valiltramiprosate from other potential treatment options.
“These new findings support our upstream approach in altering the course of Alzheimer’s disease and highlight valiltramiprosate’s potential as a safe, effective oral therapy for APOE4 patients,” said John Hey, PhD, Alzheon Chief Scientific Officer. “Consistent clinical, imaging, and molecular modeling data provide a solid basis for regulatory discussions and precision medicine development of our lead product.”

About ALZ-801
Valiltramiprosate/ALZ-801 is an investigational oral agent currently in Phase 3 development as a potential first-in-class, disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.2-6,8,11 Valiltramiprosate is designed to inhibit the formation of neurotoxic soluble beta amyloid oligomers that contribute to cognitive decline in individuals with AD.2-6,8,13 Preclinical mechanism-of-action studies have demonstrated that ALZ-801 can completely block the formation of these neurotoxic oligomers at the dosage used in Phase 3 clinical trials.2,8,11,13 Valiltramiprosate employs an enveloping molecular mechanism of action intended to prevent the aggregation of soluble amyloid oligomers in the human brain, 13 which are associated with the onset and progression of cognitive impairment in AD patients.2,3,6,8,9 In recognition of its therapeutic promise, valiltramiprosate received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Clinical trial data indicate that valiltramiprosate exhibits strong clinical efficacy at the MCI stage, and a favorable safety profile, with no observed increase in the risk of brain vasogenic edema.4-9,12,14 The initial Phase 3 program for valiltramiprosate targets Early AD patients who are homozygous for the apolipoprotein ε4 allele (APOE4/4), with plans to expand future research to include AD treatment and prevention in individuals carrying one copy of the APOE4 gene.2–9
Valiltramiprosate APOLLOE4 Phase 3 Trial
An Efficacy and Safety Study of Valiltramiprosate in APOE4/4 Early Alzheimer's Disease Subjects (NCT04770220): This trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, biomarker and imaging effects of 265 mg twice daily oral dose of valiltramiprosate in Early AD subjects with two copies of the apolipoprotein ε4 allele (APOE4/4 homozygotes), who constitute approximately 15% of Alzheimer's patients. This double-blind, randomized trial compared oral valiltramiprosate to placebo treatment over 78 weeks. The APOLLOE4 trial was supported by a grant from the National Institute on Aging to Alzheon, with Susan Abushakra as the principal investigator.
Valiltramiprosate APOLLOE4 Long Term Extension Trial (Phase 3 LTE)
An ongoing long-term extension of the trial, APOLLOE4-LTE, evaluates valiltramiprosate in subjects who complete the core APOLLOE4 study for an additional 104 weeks of treatment for a total of 182 weeks or 3.5 years over the core and LTE study. This LTE study is currently ongoing in the US, UK, and Canada (NCT06304883).
Valiltramiprosate Phase 2 Biomarker Trial
Biomarker Effects of Valiltramiprosate in APOE4 Carriers with Early Alzheimer's Disease (NCT04693520): This trial was designed to evaluate the effects of 265 mg twice daily oral dose of valiltramiprosate on biomarkers of AD pathology in subjects with Early AD, who have either the APOE4/4 or APOE3/4 genotype and constitute 65-70% of Alzheimer's patients. The primary outcome was the change from baseline in plasma p-tau181. The trial also included evaluation of clinical efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of valiltramiprosate over 104 weeks of treatment. A completed long-term extension of the trial evaluated the same dose of valiltramiprosate for an additional 104 weeks of treatment for a total of 208 weeks.2,6,7
