Alzheimer's tau vaccine study (AADvac1)
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a vaccine that targets tau tangles in the brain, which are linked to Alzheimer's. It is part of a larger platform study that combines different experimental treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must qualify for the main Alzheimer's Tau Platform study (check its requirements).
- You have a diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's.
- You have evidence of tau buildup on a brain scan (like PET).
- You are willing to receive multiple injections of the study vaccine.
- You do not have any medical conditions or medications that would interfere with the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a treatment targeting tau protein buildup in the brain for people with early Alzheimer's. You may join if you have memory or thinking changes but are still living independently, and brain scans show both amyloid and tau clumps.
This study tests a vaccine that targets tau protein, which is linked to Alzheimer's disease. It is for older adults who have no memory problems yet but have biological signs of early Alzheimer's, to see if the vaccine can prevent or slow down the disease.
This trial tests an experimental vaccine (DUVAX) that targets two proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease: amyloid-beta and tau. It is an early-stage study to check safety and see how the body responds, aiming to prevent or delay the disease.
This trial tests a drug called donanemab in people who have early signs of Alzheimer's disease (amyloid buildup in the brain) but are still thinking clearly. The goal is to see if the drug can slow or prevent cognitive decline before memory problems start.
This is a follow-up study for people who already completed a previous donanemab trial (AACM). Donanemab is a medication designed to slow cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's disease by targeting amyloid buildup in the brain.
This trial tests an added brain imaging scan that looks for “tau” protein in people already enrolled in the UAB Alzheimer research studies. Results may help researchers better understand Alzheimer’s disease and improve future diagnosis.
