Search DIAN Tissue Requests

In order to avoid the situation where two investigators study the same research question, please search our database to determine if your topic has already been studied. If you find that your topic or a related topic has already been submitted, you may wish to contact the investigator to inquire about his/her findings to determine how you might proceed. You may wish to collaborate or modify your request to avoid overlap. The results below reflect requests made since online requests have been accepted. As such, not all fields will have data as certain information, such as aims, were not collected until recently. If an entry has been assigned an ID # (e.g. DIAN-T1004), the full request has been submitted and is either approved, disapproved or in process.

Title:

DIAN-TU-001 Gantenerumab Open Label Extension Study

Date of Request:

01/27/2023

Status:

approved

ID:

DIAN-T2301

Aim 1:

The primary objective of the DIAN-TU-001 Gant OLE (3 years study duration) is to determine if continued treatment with Gant at a target dose of 1500 mg (subcutaneous administration, every 2 weeks) can result in continued or complete removal of brain amyloid plaque using cerebral amyloid imaging by PiB PET.

Aim 2:

The key secondary objective of the OLE is to evaluate the efficacy of Gant in reducing disease progression and will be assessed for the following key secondary efficacy outcome measures, such as CSF and plasma biomarkers.
