About the trial

WA only

ABBV-552 is a modulator of synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A), which is a protein expressed in virtually all synapses in the brain and known to play a role in regulating neurotransmitter release. Given that synaptic loss is the major neurobiological correlate of cognitive deficits of Alzheimer’s disease, ABBV-552, through direct modulation of synaptic function, is expected to improve cognitive performance.
