AV-1980R (Tau Vaccine) in Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease (TAURUS-1980)
Sponsor: Institute for Molecular Medicine
Summary
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose-escalation study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of AV-1980R, an investigational vaccine targeting pathological tau, in participants with preclinical Alzheimer's disease. Up to 48 cognitively unimpaired adults aged 65 to 80 years with biomarker evidence of preclinical Alzheimer's disease will be enrolled into three ascending-dose cohorts.

Interventions
AV-1980R 20 µg
AV-1980R is an investigational recombinant protein tau vaccine based on the MultiTEP platform. Participants receive 20 µg of AV-1980R formulated with Advax-CpG55.2, consisting of Advax and CpG55.2, by intramuscular injection at Weeks 0, 4, and 38.
AV-1980R 60 µg
AV-1980R is an investigational recombinant protein tau vaccine based on the MultiTEP platform. Participants receive 60 µg of AV-1980R formulated with Advax-CpG55.2, consisting of Advax and CpG55.2, by intramuscular injection at Weeks 0, 4, and 38.
AV-1980R 180 µg
AV-1980R is an investigational recombinant protein tau vaccine based on the MultiTEP platform. Participants receive 180 µg of AV-1980R formulated with Advax-CpG55.2, consisting of Advax and CpG55.2, by intramuscular injection at Weeks 0, 4, and 38.
Placebo
The placebo consists of 10 mM phosphate buffer without active AV-1980R, formulated with Advax-CpG55.2, consisting of Advax and CpG55.2. It is administered by intramuscular injection at Weeks 0, 4, and 38.
