About this study
Official title: Assessment of Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy Measured by Amyloid Reduction of LY3372993 in Early Symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease
The reason for this study is to collect safety and efficacy information regarding the study drug remternetug in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Read the detailed description
TRAILRUNNER-ALZ 1 is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of remternetug in participants with early symptomatic AD. Initially, 600 participants will enroll in the double-blind treatment period. Participants in the double-blind treatment period will receive remternetug or placebo administered via subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion.
Following the 52-week main study period, participants will continue participation for up to an additional 76 weeks in an extension period. Participants who previously received remternetug will receive placebo and participants who previously received placebo will receive remternetug. Thus, all participants will receive remternetug if they complete the study.
An additional 974 participants with early Alzheimer's disease will be enrolled to an addendum safety cohort. The participants will be administered open label remternetug via subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion. Participants enrolled into the addendum safety cohort are not eligible for the extension period.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Remternetug (IV) and Remternetug (SC) in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 76 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 76 sites in United States, Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants Who Reach Amyloid Plaque Clearance on Amyloid PET Scan for Remternetug versus Placebo (time frame: Week 52). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2026.
