Verubecestat pharmacokinetic and exposure-response results from APECS, a phase 3 trial in prodromal alzheimer’s disease
The BACE inhibitor verubecestat (MK-8931) demonstrated cognitive and functional decline relative to placebo in a 2-year Phase 3 trial of individuals with prodromal AD (APECS; NCT01953601), along with reductions in brain volume and amyloid plaque. Disease progression modeling has demonstrated a lack of dose or exposure dependency in the clinical cognition and function endpoints (see Poster# P1-044)
