Co-primary endpoints were not met at 52 weeks. The comparator was a low dose of the same drug rather than placebo, which the authors say masked any separation; they report separation in the MCI subgroup only at 78 and 104 weeks.

ADAS-cog11 and ADCS-ADL23 at 52 weeks (co-primary) phase 3 trial 598 "It was not possible to demonstrate significant differences on the co-primary clinical endpoints (ADAS-cog11 and ADCS-ADL23) at 52 weeks due to symptomatic activity in the control arm." In MCI, ADAS-cog13 differences between early- and delayed-start HMTM 16 mg/day reached p=0.0291 at 78 weeks and p=0.0308 at 104 weeks; NfL progression fell (p=0.0291) and tau pathology (p-tau217) fell (p=0.0165) in MCI The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease 2026

The primary endpoint was not met: the low dose showed no clinically meaningful benefit and the 3 mg dose showed 32% greater progression than placebo, with more serious adverse events. Less whole-brain volume loss on MRI is a surrogate finding.

iADRS disease-progression ratio at 100 weeks (primary); tau PET, brain volume, adverse events phase 2 trial 327 The disease progression ratio relative to placebo was 0.84 (95% credible interval [CrI], 0.66-1.04) for the ceperognastat 0.75 mg group and 1.32 (CrI, 1.10-1.58) for the ceperognastat 3 mg group, corresponding to 16% less and 32% greater progression, respectively. No benefits were demonstrated for secondary clinical end points JAMA 2026

The primary clinical endpoint (CDR-SB) was not met in the overall population. The tau figures are a biomarker outcome, not a clinical one.

CDR-SB (primary); tau PET accumulation phase 2 trial 466 "Slowed the rate of tau accumulation versus placebo in key brain regions by 33%-58%" overall and "by 63%-67%" in the low-tau or APOE4 non-carrier subgroup; "In the overall study population, no beneficial effect of low- or high-dose bepranemab compared with placebo was observed on the primary endpoint"; ADAS-Cog14 decline slowed 21-25% UCB press release (data presented at CTAD 2024) 2024

ADAS-Cog11 showed slower decline, but the co-primary functional endpoint (ADCS-ADL) did not differ and the authors classify the study as negative.

ADCS-ADL and ADAS-Cog11 (co-primary) at week 49 phase 2 trial 272 "At week 49, the semorinemab arm demonstrated a 42.2% reduction (-2.89 points, 95% CI -4.56 to -1.21, p = 0.0008) in decline on the ADAS-Cog11 (coprimary endpoint) relative to the placebo arm"; ADCS-ADL difference -0.83 points (95% CI -3.39 to 1.72, p = 0.52), with no difference on MMSE or CDR-SB Neurology 2023

Phase 1b safety and target-engagement result: adverse events were all mild or moderate with no serious events on MAPTRx, and CSF total tau fell dose-dependently by more than 50% in the two highest-dose groups. No clinical outcome was measured.

Safety (primary) and CSF total tau (exploratory target engagement) in mild Alzheimer's disease phase 1 trial 46 Adverse events were reported in 94% of MAPTRx-treated patients and 75% of placebo-treated patients; all were mild or moderate. No serious adverse events were reported in MAPTRx-treated patients. Dose-dependent reduction in the CSF total-tau concentration was observed with greater than 50% mean reduction from baseline at 24 weeks post-last dose in the 60 mg (four doses) and 115 mg (two doses) MAPTRx groups Nature Medicine 2023
