Fig. 1From: A phase 1b randomized clinical trial of CT1812 to measure Aβ oligomer displacement in Alzheimer’s disease using an indwelling CSF catheterCT1812 treatment results in increases in CSF Aβ oligomers, but not monomers, in an exposure-dependent manner. a Subject demographics. b–g CSF Aβ oligomer or monomer concentrations were measured in individual AD patient samples collected hourly before (− 4 to 0 h as baseline) and 24 h after a single dose of 560 mg CT1812 or placebo. Aβ monomers (ELISA) increased by < 50% of baseline during the post-dose period, but Aβ oligomers (MIE) increased by > 250% (Patient 3) and > 500% (Patient 1) of baseline (b–d). Non-denaturing western blotting revealed similar increases of CSF Aβ oligomers in CT1812 patients (e–g). h The oligomer level by western blot correlated with that measured by MIE (Pearson r = 0.74; n = 70 samples) i CSF total exposure levels of CT1812 (data shown in Table S1) were related to the total AUC0-last of CSF Aβ oligomer concentration (MIE or Western blot) across patientsBack to article page
